The best!

Revisado: 11-13-19

I DID so enjoy this book. And let me be the first (yes, I’m attempting irony) to advise that Tom Hanks is really a joy. When his acting gig is up, he can make a fair living reading books. Thanks Ann and Tom!

Disappointing

Revisado: 10-28-19

The book's premise caused me to purchase, although I had reservations about Scott Aiello (the sample suggested he would over dramatize, and he did). The first quarter plus of the book was engaging but thereafter, it lagged. I finally quit about two thirds through it. I could not suspend disbelief regarding the world Riddle built (draining the Mediterranean; why?), and the character development just wasn't there. Although I hate to return a book, I returned this one.

Worthwhile book; distracting narration

Revisado: 03-01-19

If you need help living or working with an explosive child, this book can help. The only negatives are the unhelpful chapter on medication and the narration which at times, seemed delivered by a computer: odd pauses, inappropriate emphases, and mispronunciation.

Couldn't go there

Revisado: 02-03-19

I'm a retired trial lawyer. I tried several hundred cases to jury verdicts, hundreds more to judicial decisions, and was in court regularly for more than forty years. Not suprisingly, I have a hard time suspending disbelief with courtroom dramas because most authors can't or choose not to accurately depict how the litigation system works. Author Finder has a good rep as a suspense writer, and I bought Judgment hoping for the best. Nope. Less than an hour into it, I had to quit. The reader was good (only three stars because of the book), though. I'd listen to her again. I should have picked a Finder thriller without a legal backdrop.

Everything just fine. Get it. (Ten more words, more words, more words, more words ain’t gonna say more.)

And it was over!

Revisado: 10-27-18

Bought this some time ago, and only got to read it recently. My point is a I forgot it is only 2 hours long and that it only cost a buck. I never use a credit on a book that is less than 10 hours long. So, expecting a 10 hour plus experience, I'm listening along, enjoying the ride, and it abruptly ended! What? If I had dropped a credit on this, I would have been pissed. Happily, I did not. Scalzi can return to the Dispatcher anytime to write a proper length book which I will happily buy. Great concept; great reader; good deal for a buck.

Couldn't Make Myself Finish

Revisado: 03-13-18

Bought this book based on its premise, which, unfortunately, could not sustain the novel. The longer I stuck with the book, the more I focused on the completely absurd premise. After seven hours, I just couldn't continue. Notwithstanding, I held onto the book for quite awhile before I faced the reality that I could never finish it. Obviously, I'm out of step with the almost four thousand folk who loved it. Oh well.

Great true crime podcast!

Revisado: 02-14-18

A story of a prosecution that does not end. It will need a second podcast, or at least a post script, to wrap up the French affair.

Great narrative; book missed the mark

Revisado: 10-10-17

David Thorp did a great job! His voice is easy to listen to and he handled multiple characters and accents with aplomb. The author created an intriguing mystery and wrote much of the book quite well. Unfortunately, much of the book was overwritten, and poorly edited. The author failed to finish the story, resorting to newspaper clippings to finish it. Had the Editor taken the author in hand, the reader could have been spared virtually unimportant digressions that barely moved the story. I suspect the book got to long to permit the author to properly finish off the mystery.

Ennui - couldn't finish.

Revisado: 04-09-17

I could only get half way through. No mystery; no suspense; no one to like. I bought it because of the great reviews, and I kept on trying to finish for the same reason. Finally, I concluded I'll never finish it, and it was a roadblock to moving on to a better book.
