On the Edge of my Seat

Revisado: 03-26-14

What made the experience of listening to King and Maxwell the most enjoyable?

Not really knowing what was going to happen even though I thought (hoped) the main characters would be okay by the book's end.

Have you listened to any of Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, Baldacci's The Innocent. Just as good.

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

When it appeared that both the POTUS and Maxwell could be doomed.

Any additional comments?

I really got into the story. I'm amazed at the lengths someone would go to for revenge. Or, would that be the depths they'd go to? Who cares who gets hurt if in his sick mind, he gets the revenge he seeks. Excellent. I don't doubt there are those who are this determined. Not sure how much of the events/activities are realistic but I was concerned about both King and Maxwell. Yeah, I know ... most authors don't kill off main characters but it has happened!

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I'm not sure who might enjoy it. I certainly did not. Don't like the character and certainly not her cousin

What do you think your next listen will be?

Dana Stabenow - Bad Blood

What three words best describe Ann Marie Lee’s voice?

Okay, nothing too exciting.

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

Not any that I know of. Could barely make it through the last hour of the story. Just wanted it finished and over with.

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

I'm not familiar with the author so I cannot compare the audio book to the print version.

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

This is the first book by Jo Nesbo I've listened to or read.

Which character – as performed by Sean Barrett – was your favorite?

I suppose the main character, Harry Hole. Tho' I like Andrew a lot, too. He was the more complex of the 2 characters.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Not a club.

Any additional comments?

This is my first book by Jo Nesbo with Harry Hole as the main character. I'm uncertain whether I want to try additional books by this author. I might just to see if I don't like the character or whether it might just be this book.

It was okay but ....

Revisado: 10-29-12

What would have made Wicked Autumn better?

A more interesting story.

What was most disappointing about G. M. Malliet’s story?

Teh entire book. I expected more from a former spy, I guess.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The narration was okay but not exciting.

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

Not especially. I really was disappointed in the book.

Any additional comments?

I'm not sure why I choose this book. I had not read any reviews (that I can recall). Since the main character was a former spy and now a minister, I just thought it would have more to it. It's not even what I'd call a cozy English mystery; perhaps it had pretensions to that but it fell far short.

I did read (listen) to the end. Perhaps that was stubborness on my part as I will not always finish a book if I'm not enjoying it.
