Good true story, amateur narration

Revisado: 08-18-16

This is a son's BERNIE memoir of his mother's survival in hiding in Budapest during the war. It's personal, and therefore narrow. That's not bad, it's simply the style. A decent story, but could have benefited from a better narrator. Very stilted delivery but a rather pleasant voice. This book was provided free of charge by audio book boom dot com in exchange for my honest review.

I'm anything but squeamish, but...

Revisado: 07-25-16

While the narrator did his best with this work, it is so grim, so gory, leaving nothing to the readers imagination, and I hope so unrealistic, though I'm sure there's some even worse out in the real world, this book left me bored, somewhat repulsed, and wondering how it got published in the first place. I don't feel it's smart to go into any more detail then the book description. If you're a fan of very explicit child sexual abuse, you just might find some redeeming factors. I'm very hard to make uncomfortable, but this book, I think, was a first. I was given this to evaluate free of charge by audiobookboom dot com

First Jack Olsen fiction for me didn't satisfy

Revisado: 07-15-16

I'm a fan of quality true crime and Jack Olsen fits that bill. I did not realize that this was fiction when I received it. It's not horrible, the female narrator is competent, but the story felt a bit forced and overly long (or perhaps I should say repetitious). If you're a fan of the true crime style, you might enjoy this. I found it competent, but not compelling.

I received this book from audiobookboom dot com at no charge in exchange for my fair and unbiased review.

Great premise, but the narrator ruined it for me

Revisado: 07-12-16

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

The subject matter was very interesting, so in that regard, yes, but I could not get past the very deep voice and slow narration. I did not finish the book.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

A different narrator.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I couldn't focus on WHAT he was saying, only the timbre of his voice. Pleasant voice but not for this purpose.

Do you think Mysterium I: Rome needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I cannot answer this because I did not finish it.

Any additional comments?

I received this book for free from audiobookboom dot com for my unbiased review.
