Hartwig Family

Best book out of 100

Revisado: 01-27-24

The prose, the story, the composition, the characters, the settings, I liked everything about it. As good and as dark as Cormac McCarthy. Great work.

worst book I've read in a long time.

Revisado: 08-24-22

Poorly researched, badly written, clunky and stupid, with a ton of errors both in content and judgement.

Way too much for way too little.

Revisado: 11-01-19

I don't remember ever reading a book that was this poorly written. I am astounded that this got published. I think I must have gotten this author's name confused with someone else. I listened to this all the way through hoping for a good conclusion at least and found that the primary mystery never got solved. It was filled with inconsistencies, impossibility and just shear stupidity. I come in my house and draw my gun thinking someone might be in the house.Then go on to describe a totally unbelievable present for my mother and take off all my clothes and shower without looking around to see if anyone is there? I see footprints leading to the edge of the roof and never figure out what happened? Did the government ever really shut down? who was behind all the death and destruction? why? not to mention all the inexplicable jump cuts to a really overdramatized scene where she cut her finger? everyone in this world is good looking, has multiple doctorates an other than that we don't really know them. If you took away all the filler this wouldn't even be a short story because there is no story here, just a really self involved woman going from place to place asking meaningless question and talking constantly about meaningless things. it doesn't deserve any stars

Don't buy this book!

Revisado: 03-11-19

I am stunned that a book that is this badly written ever made it to print, even more surprised that it would be read on Audible. I wondered if there was an editor that looked any further than the title page. It seemed that there were so many bungled details of time, place and rationale that it felt like a first draft. The first draft of a very thin, poorly researched and poorly executed novel. The story had legs but the lack of insight into how an M.E. actually comes to understand the cause of death or what a sheriff is or does makes me think that a dilletant had a good idea and didn't do the work to make it come to life.

A little over the top

Revisado: 08-06-18

This book is well performed and gets you going but is just way over the top. I don't know why we need to save the world in every book. Isn't it enough to tell a well crafted story that is plausible? Easily half of this book was just not only not believable but couldn't get me to suspend my disbelief long enough to keep me from waiting for the end. I liked the main characters but it just takes the plot so far out into the weeds it ruins them. I was hoping for a character like this that I could follow into other books but this one was just so disappointing when everything gets solved and the world is saved, too pat, too much.

Oliver Potzsh is great

Revisado: 08-06-18

I have listened to or read every book about the Kuisl family and this is another in a line of great reads. They are entertaining, the characters are engaging, and the stories never fail to hook you into their intrigue. The backdrop of 12th century Germany and Austria are fascinating and enlightening. These are fantastic books well read and well composed.

Great American book, a glimpse into history.

Revisado: 05-21-18

Not the racist tome that is reported. A look into where we come from, a glimpse into where the divide began and a path to the end of it.

Stupid and predictable

Revisado: 09-12-17

Not at all realistic or believable. Sophomoric drivel. Could have been written in his sleep.
