Sooooo! Bad!

Revisado: 07-16-23

I did manage to finish this book. Full disclosure, it was at 2.0-3x speed. I knew this was YA but figured when a 60yo woman través back to her 13yo self that only a small part of the book would include her time as a 13yo. Nope. You can forget about the other 46.5 years. This book should be called “Teen Angst: Six months in the life of a 13yo girl”. Book was at least 20 hours too long. Also not appropriate for young teens. I think it set a new record for use of the F-word. I’m getting a refund.

Not as bad as the last one

Not the Mitch Rapp I’ve grown to love over the years. Decent action but overall, meh.

Disappointing

Revisado: 12-25-22

Big fan of Andrew Britton. Loved the first 5 Kealey books. This one was boring. And the constant over dubbing of either missed lines or corrections was distracting. Acoustics were so different as to be startling at times. Had I not already purchased and planned to read book 7, I would have requested a refund based on the audio alone.

More of a screenplay than a book

Very distracting. Like listing to a movie in the other room. Managed about 30 mins before deleting

This was bad on so many different levels. Don’t know where to start, so I won’t.

Flawed in sooooooo many ways

Revisado: 06-16-21

Where to start? It was hard to identify with any of the characters. It was hard to follow. It was hard to believe. It was hard to listen to, especially when narrator tried to do kid voices. I did finish listening to it, however, but only so I could write a truthful review. I have read/listened to over 500 similar books. Authors ranging from A-Z: Alanson, Baldacci, Battles, Bell, Berenson, Berry, Blackwood, Britton, Clancey, Coes....you get the idea. Will not be adding this author to my collection.

Best book I’ve read in 2 years. Couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait for the movie.

Lackluster in every way.

Revisado: 09-19-20

Almost as hard to follow as the first book in the series to start out. But at least I ended up really liking that one. Kinda like he had a glimmer of an idea and decided it wasn't enough for a story so he decided to pad it with background about his grandfather. And the narrator...don't get me started. Can't say he ruined it because the story wasn't very good to begin with, but he completely destroyed Stokely Jones, Jr.

Tedious

This would have been a very good short story or Novella. There was too much filler.

Trying to make a political statement?

Revisado: 07-10-19

Have enjoyed reading other books in this series. I read everything, Baldacci, Coes, Eisner, Flynn, Greaney, Hilton, Silva, Thor, etc. I felt like the authors personal political bias was a bit too obvious. Either that or he is the best writer ever for making me think the opposite. I know that there is a lot of suspension of disbelief with these types of books but I’m looking for a good afternoons entertainment while sitting on the beach or just relaxing/vacationing. Some of the characters and their actions here bordered on farcical. Or was it just parody?
