Best read Letty book 2 before this

Revisado: 07-31-24

It was good but I hadn’t read the 2nd Letty book yet, and there are a few to Letty’s storyline that would be beneficial to know before reading (listening I should say) this book.

It’s ok but..

Revisado: 09-05-23

When the story stays on the mystery and the historical events it’s pretty good. But the story drifts off to philosophizing (for lack of a better word) about politics, morality, class system and the debates about the inequities of war. Which ok, that’s fine but… it goes on and on about it quite often. Too often. After awhile you just want to say, yeah, yeah we get it, how about we get back to the mystery. Not sure if I will continue the series until I find out if this is a recurring issue in the rest of the series.

just end the story when you end a book

I'm bailing on this. I usually don't bother writing reviews, but I'm so frustrated by the drawn out story line that I have found continues even after this book and who knows how much further on. It's shame because the locale and some of the characters are interesting, but I don't want to have to keep guessing who is in on the conspiracy. If each book just had an ending it would have been very good. The narrator was good though.

ok. not great

Revisado: 08-25-18

I've listened to all the novels in this series. The reader is very good first of all, just to get that out of the way. However the story line in this one, didn't have the same sense of tension, for lack of better words, than the other novels.
I feel this is more about character development, which is o.k. but I missed the adventure of the detective story that was in the other books. That's not to state that there wasn't any crime story in this book, but it was mediocre at best in my opinion.
Still worth listening too if you have been through the other books. You still want to know what happens with the characters, but I would like the author to get back to a more intense crime story in the future novels, if there are to be any.

lots of items in the plot, 3 different plots sort of.
flashbacks pop in on the audio and you don't actually know you're in a flashback write away.
lead character alternates between interesting, funny, calm, then anxious and then remorseful. A bit much sometimes.

new narrator

Revisado: 05-31-18

new narrator should have listened to previous narrator's version of charcters, especially Molloy. Really made it difficult to listen to.

reads like it was written for fox news

What did you like best about Power Down? What did you like least?

it has exciting moments, too much jingoism for my particular taste, but it doesn't lack for action.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

other people mentioned it too...plodding.too much repetition of the initial event, (don't want to spoiler here)I think the main character's angst is way overdone too.

narrator didn't fit
story was exciting but outrageous
authors politics run rampant and sometimes feel jingoistic
