Specimen Days is the bold latest novel from Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours. The novel contains three linked narratives that take place in the past, the present, and the future of New York City and span the ghost story, thriller, and science fiction genres. This wild, lush, dark page-turner is an exciting creative leap for a major writer.

Very disappointing, and DISHONEST review. This is not congruent with the full book I’m holding in hands.

Anna Fox lives alone - a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times...and spying on her neighbors. Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, mother, their teenaged son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn't, her world begins to crumble. And its shocking secrets are laid bare.

paradoxically, both engaging AND slow!

Yup, I found it excruciatingly slow yet also riveting. Go figure! It's a first novel, and I think the author just needs a better editor next time. I did kind of figure out stuff ahead of time, but still found it to be compelling and utimately satisfying. And yes, I did think the performance was a bit over the top. On the other hand, the "dramatic" reading DID fit in with the wonderful "noir" subtheme. Looking forward to Mr. Finn's next, better-edited novel.

I've been a Stephen White fan for years-- his character Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist who is continually pulled into the middle of gruesome crimes-- not unlike Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware-- except I find White's books more suspenseful, intelligent, and coherent. So I was thrilled to finally see a White book available on Audible! While 'Dead Time' is probably not White's best, I thought it was right up there-- lots of twists and turns, a couple of compelling subplots, and some great nailbiting moments. Unlike the other reviewer, I really like the way White takes his time to develop conversations and settings-- it facilitates the evolution of the characters and their relationships and ultimately just makes me care that much more about what happens to them.
I was a little worried I might not like the way the reader interpreted the characters I've grown so fond of, but he didn't let me down-- and he does an especially good "bad guy" voice!
For me, this was one I couldn't stop listening to until I finished. Please, Audible, let's have some more of White's books on here!
