Actually hearing the stories and voices of the victim's and families and LE who worked the cases.

I didn't like that there wasn't more attention to and research into the background of DeAngelo. Also, they could've tried to more specifically tie the crimes to the background data, such as marriage, firing from job. This was very glossed over, imo.

The wild ways the entity messed with the characters, mentally and physically.

The ending was abrupt and left things rather vague. It seemed like a cop out and a lazy way to end it. The sequence of events that were dire as far as a countdown were silly as they could've just switched off the microwave.

compelling monsters and idea.

The kind of ham-handed actions and relationships of the characters. Things like running into the boys "girlfriend" as a mutated human "randomly". There are parts that are too plot convenient in a sort of very obvious way.

Highly Recommend!

Revisado: 07-30-24

The writing and narration are so good, I can't stop listening! In the same caliber of novels such as In Cold Blood! I am amazed by the detail and dialogue. I normally just put on a book to fall asleep, but this keeps my attention long into the night. I don't even mind the insomnia!

Fitzgerald's perfection made manifest by Gyllenhaal's giving life to those gorgeous words!
Brilliant! Must listen!

The historical equivalent of a great comedian. He could have easily written for today's comics with little updating!

Peek into suprisingly different lives!

Loved the rich tapestry revealed by each sentance of these monolouges. Tiny sparks of recognition noticed in Mr. Bennett's characters, even if by comparison his characters are found more on the extreme side of the personality spectrum to those people we recognize from our lives. Although this distinction may only exist because we aren't privy to the depths of the personalities of those we meet day to day in church or the office or even nextdoor.

The End is Very F ing Nigh

Revisado: 06-10-16

I could not stop listening. Normally I can predict where the story is headed. However, I was disturbed and surprised at the brutality and the humanity of the characters, in a way that challenged my moral understanding of right and wrong. With the recent events around COVID, I thought I knew how the group should react to the problem of the contagion and was horrified when they didn't. Although, I was unnerved that what I thought they needed to do, would've made the thing more unbearable and that it wouldn't have mattered in the end. What I thought the end goal should've been was irrelevant because further isolation would've just destroyed them more psychologically than to try and stay together. I enjoyed the really thoughtful way the author approached the young characters, their back stories, and their interactions when put in unimaginable circumstances with no help from adults. They are complicated characters with attributes we, as adults, can all recognize in ourselves and those around us.

Very engaging & well written! Definitely worth it!

Revisado: 06-08-16

You will enjoy this book. It's detailed enough and written in a way that is easy to engage with. The narrator is AWESOME, he does such a great job portraying the words of the various individuals within the story. It is a sad and frustrating topic but there is a satisfaction in having someone put together the facts of the case. Because woven throughout the sickly dark subject matter, there are threads of gray and light as well. Worth the time and money, especially if you enjoy the True Crime topic!

copyright 1986! crazily relevant & even prescient!

Revisado: 05-30-16

This book was published in 1985? That is crazy especially for how it foreshadowed events to come in history, an example being the impetus for suspending the Constitution, which heralded the creation of Gilead. WOW! I recommend reading and staying with this book. It will make you uncomfortable at first but don't let that dissuade you from continuing the journey. My only let down was the abrupt ending and therefore being left without closure. Not that I can think of a better way to end it. I'm glad of the last chapter as a sort of ending from a future that seems to point to an understanding of Gilead as a social experiment gone mad. The fact that past tense is used at least brings some comfort to the reader that this regime didn't last. But of course it couldn't, or could it? That's the scary part. That and of course more...
