great but...

Revisado: 01-04-22

I loved the book. Would have 5 stars but for exceptionally unbelievable areas. I do give room for artistic license, etc, but segments of this novel are over the top eye-rollers.

stale & predictable

Revisado: 11-20-21

The book was decent. I have to say it totally lost any credibility or traction when they hit the number dilemma. numerologist, seriously?! A few other worn out themes pulled out & dusted off for this all too predictabl, unimpressive story.

I just can't do it.

Revisado: 09-03-21

If I don't like a book at first I give it a few chapters. This book has proven that to be a bad habit. Chapter 4 & I just can't take it any more. Grow up for heaven's sake. Characters, dialog, mood & narrator are about 2nd grade level, but the story is far from being interesting or fast enough to keep their attention. This book has no audience. Not losing another minute on it.

I have a crush on Jimmy.

Revisado: 08-13-21

I love this series and the characters. I have a huge crush on Jimmy. I've downloaded every volume available. Unusual for me, but the crime fiction has actually become secondary.

too long repetitious predictable

Revisado: 06-21-21

The writing is fabulous but the story is not unique & it drags out wayyyy to long. The story lends itself to such a predictable end, that you bear the redundancy in anticipation of an unforeseen twist. Most unfortunately, no surprises.

Exceptionally good story. narrator not so much.

Revisado: 06-07-21

DO get over the narrator; the book is fabulous! I almost canned this within the first 15 minutes because the narrator's overdramatized upswing at the end of each sentence wore on me, escalating it from distracting to annoying. It actually abates somewhat as the story unfolds with only intermittent gross exaggerations. Trust me, the story is SO worth it!!!!

Incredible

Revisado: 05-14-21

I was disappointed at hearing the forward. It was clearly not my preferred genre. My 1st impulse was to return it. So very glad I didn't! It's a simple word, but WOW!

OMG. I can't take it.

Revisado: 04-23-21

Even if I don't really like a book, I'm usually invested enough to listen until the end - if only out of curiosity about the outcome or to see if it will get any better. I'm on Chapter 18 of, what? 22? And I just don't care anymore. I can't take it. Slow & boring. Even the characters.

Holding back 2 stars

Revisado: 04-02-21

I enjoyed this book, the characters, and the story enough to give it 5 stars. I subtracted 2 stars from the story for a habit the author has that seriously interferes with my ability to enjoy it. An inexcusable percentage of the word count is attributable to frequent & consistent use as "Christ" or "Jesus" as the very nearly exclusive expletive for all possible circumstances. There are so many other possibilities! I'm not even sensitive to four-letter words, but using His name is like a sharp slap in the face. And honestly, it's excessive. How often should I 'turn the other cheek?' In MY book, it's indefensible.

LOVE this character!

Revisado: 03-28-21

I just love this irreverent self (& everyone else)-deprecating character. His is a unique find for me. That combo, in play with his intelligence & dry wit, is the stuff that makes one spray whatever they're sipping without notice. He's one who can blatantly insult another in fine detail & leave them wondering what he just said & how they should take it... if it doesn't go completely over their head. Add the dichotomy of the coward thrilled by danger and interactions with those at their wit's end with his aloof impertinence.... What an incredible find for me!
