Snore

Short and not very scary. The sixth sense covered the same topic 20 years ago.

Good Book. Terrible Music

Revisado: 02-24-20

Could not stand the "Hell you talkin' bout" song they play throughout this book. It's terrible.

Worst book ever

Revisado: 08-11-19

Don't waste your time. This book is like a 12 year old writing about his favorite dungeons and dragons story.

Kind of a Letdown

Revisado: 02-27-19

Not his best, but good enough to keep you occupied while driving. The buildup to the final resolution was great. The actual resolution was disappointing.

Decent attempt at being clever

Revisado: 12-12-18

I got a few chapters in before getting bored. Rick Wilson is a good writer, but the subject matter simply can't be made fun of without becoming deeply depressing.

Sounds Great, but that's about it

Revisado: 03-13-18

What would have made Take a Walk on the Dark Side better?

Numerology, coincidence and rumors are all this book is. Mildly entertaining, but head-shaking at its best.

What about Mike Dawson’s performance did you like?

Mike Dawson is the announcer from the Adam Carolla Show, and does a fine job with his, rich, deep voice. If he had more to work with, this would have been a much better experience.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Take a Walk on the Dark Side?

More research would have helped this book, or simply writing facts rather than "what if" and "could it be's."

Any additional comments?

If you want a distraction without learning anything that will stay in your head, this is the book for you.

So Boring You Wouldn't Know You Liked The Show

Revisado: 01-12-17

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

The fact that they couldn't get Jon Stewart to read anything but the foreward is a GIANT indicator that the book just doesn't cut it.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I was really hoping to get into this book since I watched both the Killborn years and Jon Stewart's takeover. The book got so dull I didn't even finish it.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration was fine (except for whoever read for Jon Stewart) and was as interesting as the rest of this durge of a book.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I was disappointed in this book to say the least

Any additional comments?

Skip this and just watch clips on You Tube.

It's not "About Face"

Revisado: 08-22-15

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I read this book when it first came out in the 90's and loved it. I was hoping Hack would be able to put a little extra in to make it worth getting on audio. Unfortunately, the production was half-assed and Hack seemed too tired to read his own book. That took a lot away from the story.

Has Hazardous Duty turned you off from other books in this genre?

I still love books about war and the military, and this book is good if you read the original.

Would you be willing to try another one of David H. Hackworth’s performances?

I would LOVE if they'd have Ray Porter read "About Face." Since Colonel Hackworth is dead, there will be no more books, articles or performances.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Hazardous Duty?

There is little I'd cut out, I would ADD the rest of the book that weren't read like the parts about Haiti and Croatia.

Any additional comments?

I can't stress enough that I am a big fan of David Hackworth. It's just that this audiobook was produced, edited, and performed badly. Hack just sounded tired and un-involved with his own book.

It got boring after a while

Revisado: 06-27-15

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

If you're bored and can't find anything else to listen to, I guess this would be okay.

Would you ever listen to anything by Jack Olsen again?

I think this was his first book and that's why it may have been so boring. I'd have to see some pretty great reviews before I'd listen to anything else he writes.

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

I don't think I've ever heard the narrator performing anything else, but he wasn't bad.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I was generally disappointed in this book. The premiss was decent, but (sorry if this sounds terrible) serial rape isn't as interesting as serial murder. If you're a True Crime fan, this just falls short.
