Worst Audible book ever

Revisado: 04-30-16

What disappointed you about The Consultant?

A conulting firm, or is it the Devil of Commerce, invades a tech firm..,,is strange at firs, scary in a chaper or two and then seems to falter between real and unreal. The drama gets intense and nonsensical early ( A yellow lab is hunted, shot and then served for dinner at a bonding outing). Skipped to the end iwhich was as bad, unconvincing and contrived as the entire book. Thankfully, I bought it on sale.

Has The Consultant turned you off from other books in this genre?

Yes indeed.

What aspect of Ramiz Monsef’s performance would you have changed?

Reader Okay, can't blame him for content.

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

Only that I bought on sale.

What did you love best about Murder, She Wrote: A Question of Murder?

Marvelous job of intertwining a murder mystery week-end with a real murder and the Agatha like sleuth solving.

Wonderful set of tall tales.

What about Norman Dietz’s performance did you like?

Right accent, tone and timing.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Very troublesome reaction. While walking and listening I would burst out in guffaws..earning strange stares from those nearby.

Worse book I have ever read

Revisado: 01-03-13

What would have made Bunch of Amateurs better?

Researched facts, avoided unsubstiated generalizations. From opening premse, manufactured a thesis and forced data into it. Can't comment on the conclusion as I was so fed up with the con job in the first several chapters I quit.

What could Jack Hitt have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Went to a movie instead of writing this book...or better yet, offer me my money back.

Any additional comments?

Can I have my money back? I'd get more by buying a lottery ticket.

Riveting story of bravery and sacrifice

Revisado: 06-18-12

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Detailed narrative of a little known but critical naval battle of WWII.

What did you like best about this story?

Clearly written with descriptions of the men involved so that you knew and cared for what would and did happen to them. At the same time detailing the combat so forcefully, the sight and sound of combat was almost real.

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

He gave character and voice to the sailors.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The misery and terror of the survivors in the sea.

Any additional comments?

One of the best narrative histories of combat and the fighting men I have read

Too much ghost stuff

Revisado: 06-18-12

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

Great disappointment. Should have skipped this one.

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

To little of the marvelous associated characters with their indiocyncraces. Forced story. Could have ended with a long shot, artifically prolonged to create a lot of fantasy.

Was Hell Is Empty worth the listening time?

No

Any additional comments?

I have enjoyed the other books by this author, but he has established a predictable pattern of investigate, hunt and suffer terrible weather and outdoor conditions aided by unearthly forces. I like his characters but having read (heard) several of his stories, plan to lay of his books for a while.
