It's ok

Revisado: 07-11-20

The plane crash and events leading up to and following it comprise less than half of the book. I was not really interested about the details of the rest of the survivors lives and relationships and I would have liked if that was briefer. Overall good book, though, and the narrator was great.

Wish it covered the trial

Revisado: 05-18-20

I enjoyed this book and the narrator was good. The only thing I didn't like was that the book ended with the man still in jail awaiting trial. I would have liked to have heard about how that turned out. Overall good book though.

Story line left a lot of be desired (spoilers)

Revisado: 12-19-19

So this book started out relatively promising. The 2 characters are supposed to be an uncle and adopted niece but their characters are work essentially the same so she is styled essentially as another middle aged man in a teenage girl body. Not sure if the author has actually encountered teenage girls before.

Forgiving that, the story begins to get interesting when they find a diseased squirrel. They try to take it to a veterinarian to be diagnosed but are blown off........so they just go home where they are promptly surrounded by more undead animals that attack their cabin and tear it apart and they gradually fight/escape from them to get back to town....and that's basically the whole story. Just fighting one animal and then joking about it and then fighting another one for almost entire book. It ends with a very brief explanation that everything was locally contained and it doesn't affect anyone and it'll all be fine. Not an especially satisfying read.

The narrator of the audiobook was very enthusiastic though, and I honestly wouldn't have finished the book if he hadn't been.

Tedious

Revisado: 12-05-19

I'm not generally a fan of books written by the person who experienced the incident because they can't be neutral and just tell the story. This book was no exception. It mostly consists of emails exchanged between people and the author's thoughts on things.

The sound quality for the audiobook is poor. It sounds like the narrator is sitting across the room from her microphone and her voice conveys no emotion. It was difficult to listen to.

Audible version is terrible

Revisado: 03-13-19

This is one of the few times that I have disliked the author narrating. The introduction was a large chunk of the book and the author seems really proud of his work. However, listening to it is like word salad.

Maybe it's better if you actually read it instead of hearing it.

Sometimes okay, sometimes tedious

Revisado: 08-27-18

The author spends a lot of time defending the police department's use of psychics, which I found a little unsettling. I also thought that the author would have been better suited having a professional narrator instead of reading it himself. It was sometimes pretty tedious to listen to, which is a shame considering the interesting subject.

Author is writing for his personal benefit

Revisado: 08-16-18

Did not include much about the actual murders. I found the author (a member of the police force involved in capturing him) to be very defensive. Large parts of the book seemed to be his response to people who had criticized his investigation. Also included a lot of material on several other crimes that were only very tangentially related.

I found it difficult to follow and maintain interest in.

Narrator was awesome

Revisado: 08-12-18

If I could give this narrator more stars, I would. He was enthusiastic and really put his heart into the reading.

Decent story, poor audio narration

Revisado: 06-09-18

The story itself was okay but the narrator trying to do an impression of Swedish accents was painful to listen to. It would have been better if she had just used her own accent. I don't think it would have detracted from the fact that the story is set is Sweden.

Audiobook review

Revisado: 01-10-18

Interesting story, but could have been better written. The writing was choppy and when narrated it sounded like a high school student reading a report to the class. The author also starts talking about himself in a couple places and it’s disorienting because it’s a sudden shift in writing style.
