Might be okay for a professional spy

Revisado: 08-08-24

I really hoped to enjoy this book as I was fascinated by Operation Mincemeat. But the author described so many characters by name only and presented very little substance for a reader looking for "Greatest Espionage Story". I admit that I only listened for 3 hours and gave up waiting to hear the "great story" John Lee is one of my favorite narrators, so that wasn't the reason I couldn't finish it.

Terrible narrators!

Revisado: 07-19-23

I wish I had paid attention to the reviews about the narrators. They sounded like they were reading a work of fiction. I was really looking forward to this book as I have read several others by this author. I'm so glad I could return it!

Maybe it was the reader

Revisado: 04-16-23

So disappointed! The characters were agonizingly sorry for themselves. The reader gasped out any of the action scenes. I have always enjoyed Harlan Coben's books, but had to return this one after an hour's listening.

Not the best in the series

Revisado: 08-12-14

What did you like about this audiobook?

George Guidall is my favorite reader. I could listen to him read the yellow pages.
The most interesting part in the book was when the terrorists were building the bomb in a barn.

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

Frankly, I just listened to the book for entertainment and escape from "the real world". Nothing struck me as a topic I would like to learn more about but then I wasn't looking.

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

It was just a spy story.

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

Nothing..it was George Guidall!

Do you have any additional comments?

I would have Jack played by Jeremy Renner, Kyra Sedgewick (sp.?) the girlfriend, and Joel Kinnamon play Schaefer.

Good story, but TMI about London sewage system.

Nails on a blackboard

Revisado: 06-08-14

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Increase the length of the audio sample so I would have a better idea whether I liked the narrator or not

If you’ve listened to books by Michael Koryta before, how does this one compare?

The other book was narrated by Scott Brick and I personally don't like the sound of his voice

Would you be willing to try another one of Mark Boyett’s performances?

No.

Do you think Envy the Night needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I never finished either book, so I plan to get a print book to see what I think of the author

Not for me

Revisado: 11-22-12

Would you try another book from Robert Littell and/or Grover Gardner?

I could listen to Grover Gardner read the yellow pages.
But I doubt i would choose another book by Robert Littell. This book had too much narrative and too little action for my taste. In fact, I had to go back and listen to some of the book to remember what it was about.

What could Robert Littell have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

I never understand why Audible asks this question.

What about Grover Gardner’s performance did you like?

Grover Gardner's voice makes me feel like I am reading the book

Did Legends inspire you to do anything?

The only inspiration I got was not to get another book of his. I have read other reviews of this author, and a lot of people really enjoy them. Guess his style of writing just does't work for me.

Any additional comments?

I wouldn't discourage anyone else to try it

Every woman's nightmare

Revisado: 11-18-12

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A different author and narrator

What could Abigail Roux and Madeleine Urban have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Words with more than 3 syllables and a plot.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Sawyer Allerde?

Nobody comes to mind

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

Not for me.

Hard to Finish

Revisado: 11-11-12

Is there anything you would change about this book?

It would be difficult to recommend any changes because it earned the Booker Prize. That is a very intimidating award.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Thomas Cromwell has always intrigued me, but I got tired of him...I am not so intrigued any more

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

He was the only reason I kept trying to like the book.

Was Wolf Hall worth the listening time?

Well, I don't plan to invest the time finishing it.

Any additional comments?

Even with Mr. Slater's skills,I i was often baffled about who was talking and what/who they were talking about. This is sometimes a disadvantage in any book with the audio format, as I can't flip back the pages. That said, I probably wouldn't have had the patience to go back and forth in the book, either.
