If you liked the movie "Mother"...

Revisado: 12-21-17

This book is like listening to slam poetry. The plots, if there are actual plots, have been shuffled and diced until all that is left is a fragmented mosaic of prose. Maybe that's the point. It makes no sense and feels like it's trying to hard to be abstract art. If you liked the movie "Mother", this book might be for you.

Spoken Anime

Revisado: 05-21-16

Hearing this book is like mixing the first time you see high definition on your television wih the drama of a telenovela. There is a LOT of crying, gasping, grunting, and over-obvious internal dialogue, which is necessarily spoken. Once you adjust, you can appreciate the plot. As other reviewers have mentioned, the child character is particularly grating. As somone who appreciates graphic novels, I stuck with it and it was all worth it in the end. Also, pretty sure there was a walk-on cameo by Stephen King. Pretty cool.

Couldn't Force Myself to Finish

Revisado: 09-02-15

Another story about a smart male detective trying to teach the ignorant petulant new female member of the team who is eager to please and dumb as a box of rocks. Maybe the woman prevails; I'll never know. After hours of listening, the misogyny was too much and I gave up.

A struggle to get through

Revisado: 08-14-15

The main character is a squeamish, sensitive man and the storyline drags. I had to force myself to finish the book.

Couldn't Finish it...

Revisado: 08-11-15

What disappointed you about Forsaken: Book One of the Shadow Cove Saga?

The narration ruined this book for me.
The narrator uses a breathless stage whisper that evokes images of 1950's radio saga or ghost tales told by a camp fire- and not in a good way. Paired with the flowery knuckle-biting prose, "...that cursed journal...." I couldn't get images of a Marlene Detrich with her hand pasted to her forehead out of my head.It was all too much. The narration was made more grating as the speaker continuously takes short, sharp intakes of breath often paired with a growly vocal fry that accentuates her overly-theatrical style. I wanted to love the book. I really did. I could not get through it.

Gripping story

Revisado: 08-09-15

This is the first audio book that I've binge-listened to in a very long lime. Excellent plot and stunning insight into the mind of a stalker psychopath. I can't wait to listen to the next book from this author. The narration added to the experience and I'll be looking for more titles with this narrator.

Good Story, Luke Warm Narration

Revisado: 01-20-15

Any additional comments?

Good story, engaging plot, but... the narrator sounds like Carl Kasell alternately impersonating John Wayne and a six year - old girl. It's not a deal breaker but significantly detracts from enjoyment of the plot.

Vibrant imagery brought to live in silken tones

Revisado: 10-24-11

Although I'm not an ardent fan of fantasy, this story pulled me in with its grounding in reality and human emotion. The touches of fantasy provide an interesting subtext to a rich experience of inner sight and sound. I found the story to be a vicarious adventure of the "what if" variety - having myself, never quite fit into the banal real world. I would rank this story easily within the category of soon-to-be classics.

Agonizing, painful voice talent...

Revisado: 08-02-11

I love this author and will suffer through lousy voice talent for a great story. I'm sorry to say that after listening to literally hundreds of audio books, I only made it through 15 minutes of this book. I don't wish to be rude, but to be honest, I'm blown away that the author would choose to have the book performed by someone with a lisp. I'm hearing impaired, the sounds of "s" & "th" are particularly difficult to hear. Despite this challenge I experienced every one of his maddeningly wet sepentine embellishments until I felt like he'd given me a wet willy. Don't waste your money.
