Enjoyable and amusing

Revisado: 06-23-20

I found this look musing and entertaining as I tried to figure out exactly who the killer was. The characters were all amazingly entertaining and it held my attention to the very end. Simon Vance is an excellent narrator

Different storyline

Revisado: 02-13-19

I like the way the author didn’t fall back into the trite storylines where witches make everything come out perfectly. She didn’t bring every main character back to life as you might expect nor did she have her leading character miraculously speak at some tense moment.

Very enjoyable

Revisado: 04-11-18

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. I think I will listen to it again as I believe I missed some of the nuances of the detectives train of thought at some points. I'm sure I missed some things. Overall I found it fascinating and hated to put my iPad down when it was time to go to bed. Thanks for an enjoyable listen.

Mostly educational

Revisado: 01-28-17

Although some of the things that we talked about I already have an inkling of, there are many things that I really didn't know. I'm very surprised. Though some of his very interesting observations were a little deep for me I enjoyed most of them. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in history from the beginning of time.

Together at last

Revisado: 01-14-17

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It held my interest wondering when The two protagonist would finally get together. The story held my interest as they came so close only to pass like two ships in the night.listening to the two translators comments at the end of the story has made me want to read other Japanese stories in translation. I would recommend this book to anyone who has the time to commit to the story.

Interesting

Revisado: 08-01-16

Even though we are the same age, I was not aware of all of our RBG's accomplishments.. I knew of some of the more importdecisions made by the court but was not aware of the implications behind them. This is informative book and a short read.

War

Revisado: 06-22-16

If you enjoy stories of battle warriors, and blood and guts descriptions, you will enjoy this book as well as the other Bernard Cornwell books this series. I personally fast forwarded over some of these descriptions. The general story is interesting and also gives you a glimpse of early England

Questions

Revisado: 02-21-16

After the first book I was left with many questions. The second book gave me all the answers I needed to the whys of all these people and their connections. I had seen all the films and thought the books might be more entertaining. So far I've listen to the Girl with the Dragon tattoo, the girl who played with fire and have found them very entertaining. Thank you audible

I would listen to Vance read the telephone book.

What made the experience of listening to People Who Eat Darkness the most enjoyable?

I think I've purchased most of the available books Vance has narrated. I would not normally purchase a crime novel but was surfing through the site and saw he was reading this book so I bought it. As anticipated, it was well worth the listen. The story is well written, compelling and provided an unexpected glimpse into Japanese culture that was enlightening. The writer clearly knew his subject matter and presented an objective narrative of the facts, with appropriate insight, while being neither overly sentimental, nor judgmental.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend this book. The story is a page-turner and Vance reads with his usual style and grace - leaving you hanging on his last word and wishing for more.
