The stories are consistently great

Enjoying the series

Revisado: 06-05-21

Enjoyed the series but was disappointed in the characters’ actions in the final big drawn out scene. The characters are too smart to have made the crucial mistakes. The guns or rifles got away from their hands too many times. Mikey became like a super hero while Somers and Hazard weakened. Still a good read.

Great Story - Fantastic Naration

Revisado: 11-30-17

What made the experience of listening to IQ the most enjoyable?

The amazing job Mr. Jones does in making the characters come alive.

What did you like best about this story?

I didn't know what to expect. It's not the king of story line I typically choose. It strongly held my interest. Mr. Ide is a very gifted writer, with priceless similes and metaphors.

What about Sullivan Jones’s performance did you like?

Mr. Jones gives great realism to the characters. I kept seeing a young Eddie Murphy in Dodson.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I needed a break from time to time but was always eager to get back to it, I listen while driving to and from work.

Any additional comments?

I'm really looking forward to the next one.

Great plot but leaked Mr. Parker’s style.

Revisado: 10-07-17

I enjoyed the story, but I couldn’t envision Jesse Stone. He was too chatty. I think the estate should make sure the writers adhere to the style that Robert B. Parker established for the Jesse Stone novels.

Hated to have it end.

Revisado: 09-25-17

What did you love best about Openly Straight?

Mr. Konigsberg has a great style that make an audio book really easy to listen to. The story grabbed me right away to see if Rafe's experiment would work.

What other book might you compare Openly Straight to and why?

I love Haley Walsh's books. But really hard to make any kind of comparison.

Have you listened to any of Pete Cross’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The is the first I've heard from Peter Cross. I found it well paced and he did a great job with voices for each of the characters.

Any additional comments?

I had hoped for a happier ending for Rafe and Ben. It kind of wrapped up quickly. I hope Mr. Konigsberg's next one take me where i'd like it to go. I'm hooked, though..

A great read once you get into it

Revisado: 10-12-16

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, good story line.

What other book might you compare Sunset Park to and why?

I enjoy Rhys Ford's Sinner Gin Series.

Did Michael Ferraiuolo do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

He was slow ro start, and I had just listened to Sutphin Boulevard, and really like the narration by Rusty Topsfield. Ray's voice is completely different. I had to wonder why the change in narrators. Once he got going the voices of the characters got better.

He's no Adrien English

Revisado: 07-26-16

I read all three books waiting for something to happen but it didn't. Mr. Holmes is just not very likable which is probably why he has no friends. But I'm all for a spinoff with JX, who has personality and character.

A great story and performance

Revisado: 10-05-15

This was my first Josh Lanyon book but it certainly won't be my last. It was so well constructed with some great surprises along the way. Expertly read by Jeremy York.

A really enjoyable and entertaining book

Revisado: 07-08-15

Would you listen to Foxe Tail again? Why?

Slow to start, the story and characters really get interesting. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Skylar's character can really be annoying at times, but you come to realize that the characters are a lot like your own friends, who CAN be annoying at times, but are there for you when you need them.

Which character – as performed by Joel Leslie – was your favorite?

Joel Leslie is great at giving the characters their own space, a great story teller.

Any additional comments?

It's just a fun book, well constructed, and one that keeps you wanting to want to find out what happens next.
