Something different!

Revisado: 08-08-22

I am a 'frequent listener', and it is a monthly stress to find titles that interest me before my book credits expire. i end up getting stuck in one genre or another, and everything seems tiresomely the same.

This book is wonderfully unique, and completely without filler. Only words that have to be there are there. To a large extent it is about hunting, so be careful if you are sensitive here, but it is more a book of man's ability to overcome problems when someone's life is on the line or when it is a question of personal survival.

Scott brick is sooo wrong for this!!!

Revisado: 11-11-18

I like Scott Brick, he's a fantastic voice artist, but sooo wrong for this. Where is Dick Hill? I tried for six chapters, but I'm going to put this on the shelf, unread, in hopes that there will be a Dick Hill version down the road. Aghh, i was so excited that there would be another Reacher book... Something about Dick Hill's fatalistic 'the road went left, and it went right' narration that summarized so well Reacher's world view.

another coming of age... cringe

Revisado: 06-07-17

Maybe I've read to much, but i can't endure another: poor boy in rich kids school, everybody is mean to him because he's not rich, not rich because his parents are fighting the good fight (lawyers for trees and whales), a girl with a heart of gold, etc. Maybe it turns into a good story if you can get past the beginning and being written to as if an idiot. I can't, so i bailed after less than an hour.

Didn't finish

Revisado: 05-09-17

Kind of boring. The beginning was okay, about the early family life, but the rise to fame was poorly described/written. You would at least parts of the rise would be exciting, but the book went into technical songwriting details that weren't. To me. After that, which was the middle part, i bailed and moved onto more interesting books. Maybe the last third is good.

ridiculous

Revisado: 03-10-17

Story was completely unbelievable: evil African Prince, British spy master's betrayal for the 'lil childrens', shaking off mortal wounds, to the bad guys from all over the earth dropping everything to get on the gray man murder train, wow. i liked Greaney's Tom Clancy book, but this is the height of stupid.

An Uncommon Adventure

Revisado: 02-04-17

I am an original Audible member with well over 1,000 titles, and this book makes me remember why i am still here. A truly original story with heart, excitement, conflict, good over evil... In my top ten of everything in Audible's library.

Thriller, historical fiction, a glimpse into the technical and social world of the Alpine elite, even a love story, this book rises so far above the best of the norm that i feel privileged to have had the opportunity to read it. Over the upcoming years, it will be experienced by many, but I will look back on my intense few weeks with Mr Farthing's Summit as a fond personal memory. Thanks.

Another Author Sells Out

Revisado: 11-27-16

When an author doesn't have a book inside him, these days they just crank one out anyway. Pandering to us the feeble minded, this book seems to have been written from an afternoon meeting's flowchart, where the staff sits in front of a whiteboard throwing out scenarios and connecting them with criss crossing arrows. Then, phone camera to capture the masterpiece, and the interns write enough words for the correct book thickness. Oh, and the elaborate dramatization of the narration and the breathy hurt puppy portal of Puller only add to the feeling of being 'used'. Haha, thanks chumps, cash the check.

Worst Grisham Ever

What a bore. Nothing happens. Stats out slow, stays in slow, then boom, winds up in ten minutes.

Slow start but worth it

Revisado: 10-01-16

I had a tough time getting through the first third?, half?, but the last part was worth the wait.
