The plot was good, but the book dragged!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The book went off into a tangent about the relationship between the doctor and his assistant. Then there were the tourist descriptions of Vatican City. I almost forgot what the book was supposed to be about. I hope other novels by this author are better!!

Interesting

If you could sum up My Life Among the Serial Killers in three words, what would they be?

This book was interesting, but a bit scary. I think it's scary cause serial killers look like everyone else. It's their thinking their actions that sets them apart. The ones described in this book had no feelings or conscience about those they harmed or killed. Several felt as if they were superior to their victims and most everyone else.

What made the experience of listening to The Clairvoyant Countess the most enjoyable?

The main character Mme Karitska is a bit unusual, but very likeable. I enjoyed her method of approaching a problem and the humanness she exhibited in helping others resolve their problems.

Any additional comments?

Would like to see more books about Mme Karitska.

Just LOVE the Jerusalem Mystery books!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Eighth Veil to be better than the print version?

Yes indeed

Who was your favorite character and why?

Rabin Gamaliel is my favorite character along with Lucas the physician. Lucas seems to be a prod when Gamaliel hits a stump in his investigation. Gamaliel's honesty and his need to not vilify anyone till he has all his facts in tact is something we could use today.

Would you listen to Dance Hall of the Dead again? Why?

Yes. I often listen to it. I'm interested in the Navajo and Zuni cultures. I just wish there were other Tony Hillerman books available with Audible.

Have you listened to any of Michael Ansara’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. I haven't listened to any other performances of Michael Ansara.

Liked the unusual characters

Would you consider the audio edition of Those Who Hunt the Night to be better than the print version?

I read the book years ago and was most taken with Don Isidro, the vampire. I'm not a vampire lover in terms of books. However Don Isidro had some of the human characteristics he had in life such as honesty. He was, however a bit of a snob at times, having been born into Spanish aristicracy 300 or so years prior to the events in this book. I also like Professor James Asher even though he seemed to be a bit old for having been a spy. All in all, this was a good book. It kept my attention throughout.

Not so good as I thought!!

Revisado: 02-16-13

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The plot was hard to follow. Sometimes some of the characters seemed to be in the past, at other times, they seemed to be in the present. I couldn't always tell if the bad guy was a mental case or where in time he was supposed to be. Conversations between characters sometimes seemed out of place and time. I finally got tired of trying to follow the plot and the bad guy and just gave up. The original plot was good, but there was too many threads weaving in and out of time and I got lost trying to follow thru with the author's intent.

Could you see The Fifth Assassin being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I hope not, unless some of the book is re-written or edited and easier to follow.

Not so good as Her Mystery Novels

Revisado: 01-09-13

What did you like best about Kinsey and Me? What did you like least?

I love Sue Grafton's books. This new book is OK but not quite up to the level of her mysteries. Sue gave an accounting of her childhood and how it affected her emotional and social development as well as that of her main character Kinsey Milhone. It does account for many aspeccts of Kinsey's life as basically a self sufficient survivor and I suspect this accounts for her profession of private investigator and as such she is reliable, dependable and does what she must to take care of herself and resolve whatever case she's taken on!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Kinsey and Me?

How Sue's mother's and father's adjustment to life and the problems it presented to them affected how their daughters and how they later dealt with their own lives.

What does Judy Kaye bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Judy Kaye IS Kinsey Milhone!!

Harry Bosch and Len Cariou

Revisado: 11-30-11

Harry Bosch is an unusual character with an unusual life. Yet one feels a close affinity with him because of his 'morality' and why he continues to work in his chosen profession as a dectective inspite of the setbacks and curveballs live has thrown him. Len Cariou brings Harry Bosch alive in a most special way. I enjoy his narration and hope he continues for Harry Harry Bosch inovels in the future.
