Disappointed in Grisham’s latest storylines

Revisado: 12-29-18

I’ve listened to nearly every book John Grisham has written. I rarely submit a negative review, however the last few books of JG has been disappointing. The storyline is like balloon slowing losing air. You keep waiting for that burst of adventure that makes you glad you bought the book. Nope, the air continues to slowly seep away to nothing but disappointment.

Where does The Life We Bury rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The Life We Bury ranks right up at the top of my list of favorite audiobooks.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Choosing a favorite character for this book is a challenge. Each character brings their own multidimensional personalities to the story. I really like Carl. He's had time to figure out what really matters in life and I like his perspective. I liked how Joe was just going about his own life and yet the series of events prompts him to choose his actions, thus revealing his true character. Last, but not least, I ADORED Jeremy.

What does Zach Villa bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Zach Villa pulls you in with his enticing tones and filled with emotion.

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

This book kept me hooked constantly. Just when you think you have the storyline figured out, the author catapults you into a totally different direction. It made me smile, frown, laugh AND cry.

Any additional comments?

Needless to say, I highly recommend this book. It has everything a perfect book requires. I was totally fascinated from beginning to end.

Great Story

Would you consider the audio edition of The Survivor to be better than the print version?

No. Jackie Schlicher seemed to have too much of a monotone. She was reading words, not telling the story. Failed at bringing the story to life.
