More than a little off, like fungus or dead fish;

The performance is quite good. The content has portions that are gross and overtly sexual in what I find is really unpleasant.
It's supposed to be funny, truly NOT humorous.
It should've been, the background story has the makings of a good laugh.
The protagonist is bisexual, and you may be thinking that's what I found offensive, yet it was the propositioning of his lover's 67 year old mother that made me feel I'll.
You don't want to smell fungus it let alone be handed a big plate of stinky fungus socks.

Does the Author hates women ?

Revisado: 01-25-19

I don't know, maybe I'm getting old because I'm sick of women being written as dimwits. This is a good writer, yet in the 1st of the series he has a vile man behaving with hatred to his young female detective with every word and thought and she sucks it all up too. Mustn't let him know the vile personal remarks hurt.
All the women in the books have the same gormless spines.

Tired of those male writers who write running commentary of a grown women's thought processes and get it so entirely wrong. I'm thinking these days it's deliberate.
I feel like the author has never had a close sharing relationship with an actual female.
All women are not insipid, nor are they cruel murderers of their own sex..they don't ruin their opportunities to change their future. Nor seek no compensation when monetarily harmed n
Like I said maybe I'm getting old, cos I truly resent women being portrayed ad evil killers or stupid gits that let everything from punch in the ear to vicious conspirators get away with it all.
This book is unbelievable.

Disappointed for the first time Mr Littell

Revisado: 08-28-15

Yet, I have read and loved Mr Littell's books in the past. I ignored reviews and purchased this title despite the warnings against it.

Sinister evil characters in and around the CIA betray and destroy a good man's mind. Destroy the love and confidence of the woman in his life, another character with a broken wing. Mr Littell is fond of those women in his book she re appears re incarnated, wounded and saved by the CIA agent. Except this one. Don't get me wrong, these are not live stories, not in any way.

There were lines repeated word for word by Silas and his forebear of Independence fighter, Nash over many chapters. Even the whole conversations if past characters are repeated by the present story. For me, it made for tedious listening.

The attempted death death scenes are truly bizarre, bloody incredulous.

Spoiler

If the entire story was a fantasy in Silas's mind, it is understandable that the attempts may be strangely executed. Yet the most bizarre murder attempt of all is witnessed.

The rest of the book is slow, it felt like treading water for hours before getting somewhere.

The ending was confusing, it made no sense to me in either context presented. There was not anything suggesting Snow would betray Silas again.
No tidying up if loose ends to help the listener understand.

A huge departure from the brilliant books like The Company. Read that instead, it is wonderful.

Left me flat and feeling duped of my credit.
