Historia
On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

Any additional comments?
I just finished listening for the third time. The story is fantastic, as are the characters. The narration is very well done.
In my opinion, there are some moral questions concerning the "mission", but for the most part are resolved in the end.
Obviously, having been through this three times, I am a fan.
Strongly recommend.

Historia
Patrick Norris has seen the worst that Afghanistan has to offer–excruciating heat, bitter cold, and death waiting behind every rock as comrades are blown to pieces by bombs and snipers. He returns home exhilarated by his new freedom and eager to realize his dream of a sport fishing business. But he is shocked to learn that the avocado ranch his family has owned for generations in the foothills of San Diego has been destroyed by a massive wildfire and the parents he loves are facing ruin.

I am a fan of most of the authors other works. This one did not grab and as a result did not hold my attention. I found it to be formulaic.
I tried to return the listen, but for some reason Audible would not let me. I soldiered through it for this reason.
I did not enjoy the narrator or his performance.

Enjoyable characters with a good plot line equalled another pleasant experience listening to the stories of Eve, Roarke, and Peabody. I have only been involved with the last three novels but the storyline is advancing well for me. Looking forward to the next in the series with this group.

Rough beginning, softer landing
Revisado: 10-04-14
Any additional comments?
Out of the gate, this was a rough listen. The first section of the book was off-putting to the point where I nearly cashed it in. I am very glad I did not. The listen smoothed out shortly after the open and evolves in to a really good listen. In my opinion, there are likable though multi-flawed characters, a very good story line, and good narration. (Note: the narrator is the same on another great listen of 11/22/63 by Stephen King).
I look forward to the follow up books in this four-part series.

At the risk of losing my "man card", this book was delightful. Very likable characters, inventive time line structure, and very well narrated.
To me, a good book is one where I hope the book does not end because I become so attached to the characters. I know that I will miss them; this is one of those books.
Enjoy!

Historia
In the first weeks after World War II, a squeaky-clean new second lieutenant named James D. Cronley Jr. is spotted and recruited for a new enterprise that will eventually be transformed into something called the CIA. One war may have ended, but another one has already begun, against an enemy that is bigger, smarter, and more vicious: The Soviet Union. The Soviets have hit the ground running, and Cronley's job is to help frustrate them, harass them, and spy on them any way he can.

Unable & or unwilling to listen
Revisado: 08-26-14
Any additional comments?
I have been an avid listener of most if not all of Griffin's series of books. Unfortunately, I am unwilling to listen past the 44 minute mark of this one due to the new narrator. I don't mean to be a hater, but the voices he does for various characters are really irritating. The voice for the young woman in the story is best described as "Valley Girl" speak.
Your mileage may vary.

When Manhattan’s elite are beset by a series of clever crimes - and Stone is a material witness - he and his former partner Dino Bacchetti find themselves drawn into the world of high-end security and fraud, where insider knowledge and access are limited to a privileged few, and the wealthy are made vulnerable by the very systems meant to keep them safe.

Historia
The night after the fourth of July, Layton Carlson, Jr., of Red Wing, Minnesota, finally got lucky. And unlucky.
He’d picked the perfect spot to lose his virginity to his girlfriend, an abandoned farmyard in the middle of cornfields: nice, private, and quiet. The only problem was...something smelled bad - like, really bad. He mentioned it to a county deputy he knew, and when the cop took a look, he found a body stuffed down a cistern. And then another, and another. By the time Lucas Davenport was called in, the police were up to 15 bodies and counting.
