Boring, unrealistic

Revisado: 05-14-24

The characters were unrealistic. The storyline seemed to be all over the place, and I basically didn’t care about any of the people (except, of course, for potentially mistreated children).

Whiny, embicilic main character

Revisado: 05-09-23

I think my jaw dropped several times at the stupidity of the choices these people made. Definitely written by someone who either inhabits the lower rungs of intelligence or thinks the rest of us do. Obnoxious main character. Don't care who killed who. Can't believe this title has good reviews.

Unrealistic and constantly overexplaining

Revisado: 12-08-21

I might have been able to overlook the many unrealistic choices by the characters or the too much explanation of things that are obvious, but when she also resorted to the use of non-words (think unperfect), I was no longer able to suspend disbelief. Fast forwarded to the end to get it over with.

Very stupid main character

Revisado: 06-13-21

I can’t enjoy a book where the characters are so stupid that they do stuff that you believe no reasonable person would ever do. It’s especially obnoxious when it’s a woman. Really ridiculous story.

Wasn’t a fan, and the narrator was strange.

Revisado: 03-26-20

I did not enjoy this book. Found it to be dragging and melodramatic. I would have hung in longer if the narrator didn’t pronounce the short "I" sound as "uh." So you don’t go up a hill, you go up a hull, etc. Super weird and distracting. In the Kiwi accent is atrocious.

Caricatures instead of characters

Revisado: 10-31-19

I know this is a popular author, and so I was surprised at the lame, unrealistic caricatures of people, rather than characters you can relate to our care about. This book had a meandering plot that failed to resolve several aspects of the storyline. It seemed like there were a dozen situations where something happened that you figured would never happen in real life. I will be avoiding this author in the future.

Story dominated by most unlikable character

Revisado: 10-16-18

The ending was predictable. The main character was very annoying. The narration was obnoxious. I started to fast forward through the silly internal dialog portions. I'm surprised there is an audience for this author.

Ridiculous story. Annoying characters.

Revisado: 09-22-18

Just kept thinking, why would anybody have such stupid ideas about how to function in these situations? Listened to the end, but there was actually no payoff with the ending.

Narrator Almost Ruins this Great Story for Me

Revisado: 05-21-12

Where does An Echo in the Darkness rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I love this trilogy, and I'm on my third "reading," this time in audio book format. Mr. Ferrone's dramatic delivery is fine, but his pronunciation of the main character's name had more East Coast mobster flavor to it than citizen of ancient Rome, among other proper names, and it was very annoying, so I would not recommend the book in audio format.
