From the heart

Revisado: 01-14-23

Listening to Harry read what he had written about his life really helped connect with his emotions. He was open and the book was well written and he had clearly learned much about himself and how to express it from therapy. It gave quite a different picture than the hundreds of distorted and made up stories in the English tabloids.

Nothing like typical Sandford

Revisado: 07-11-14

What disappointed you about Uncaged?

The narrator is terrible. Sandford's other books have great narrators who improve the story line.

What was most disappointing about John Sandford and Michele Cook ’s story?

Since they are a married couple, I thought the book would have much of the type of story he writes, however this looks like a book she wrote and he put his name with her to sell it.

What didn’t you like about Tara Sands’s performance?

She is one of the most irritating readers I have listened to.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

The reader was so terrible that I didn't finish the book.

Amazing book for an author's first work

Revisado: 12-13-13

If you could sum up Red Sparrow in three words, what would they be?

Informative, well -written,

What does Jeremy Bobb bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I always listen to mystery novels because I can both listen and do mindless or boring tasks. My husband and I also listen when traveling by car as the miles seem to go much more quickly. I visualize the story more when it is narrated.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Sparrow school introduced a way of training a spy that I had never considered. It wasn't the extremes that made it interesting but the story was written so well and in a way that provided some many interesting details of the world of a spy and the CIA that it made it a great listen (of course, it is clear that the story didn't give away anything secret, but gave a window into the agency that a great backdrop,

Any additional comments?

I hope this is the first of a number of novels by this author in a series.

Grisham has many unexpected changes and unexpected surprises as the story unfolds. He not only has an intriguing twists and turns, but his story gives numerous insights into the world of attorneys dealing with contested wills.

Terrible reader

Revisado: 09-16-11

This book wasn???t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I made the mistake of assuming that Scott Brick would be the reader for this book, as he had for the others I had listened to. Bad mistake. This man was so bad I couldn't even listen to most of it. I love this series of books and have listened to most of them. This reader sounds like a regular person from next door who decided he could read novels...he can't.

Has The Third Option turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, the reader

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Yes, he was horrible

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Third Option?

Don't know because he was such a bad reader, I turned him off.

author has psychological insight

Revisado: 04-07-10

Very few authors understand the borderline/abusive wife/mother as well as the dynamics between an abusive husband and his wife. Tami Hoag presents both of these situations throughout this book and is right on. As a psychologist I commend this author for understanding and presenting these characters for the readers to understand.

Very interesting novel

Revisado: 06-06-04

The author, a psychiatrist, presents the thinking of the way the killer gets victims to trust him in a psychologically accurate format, unlike other author's. This makes this book not only interesting, but educational, as well. Highly recommend to readers who love mysteries.
