rather formulaic fantasy: always a new "ancient" magic being touted as explanation for a plot twist.

Revisado: 05-02-25

love scenes unrealistic. sex over the top wonderful. rather plastic and phony sounding. plot involved but again dependent on "magic" to explain variations and difficulties. became boring. listened just to get to the end. didnt want to waste my money but alas i did!

Endless descriptions of sexual abuse of young boys

Revisado: 08-17-19

Finally had enough. The sexual predator just wasn't believable. I did start to become interested in the characters but not enough to stomach the rest. Beware.

The worst listen in a long time

Revisado: 09-07-18

Can't believe anyone could waste their time listening to this. No depth to the characters; very predictable story. Not at all realistic. Is is because of the Christian theme? Absolute drivel. The only person who could enjoy this is a brainwashed far right christian. Is this really how they see the world? War is glorified; never questioned; Sadam Hussein did not cause 9-11; that was known. Never did any character question the gung ho war attitude; it was glorified. And the most annoying thing is that the main character consistently valued herself based on her acceptance by men! Her goal in life was to marry well! We are not in 1950. Finally she could be with the man of her choice once his appearance was damaged; as if only then the relationship would be acceptable to the weird reality posited in this book. There are many options open to women; especially regarding pregnancy. The only reason I kept listening was hoping it would improve; it did not. Left me feeling slimy.

Not very good

Revisado: 05-01-18

Terrible sound. Its as though sections were recorded separately. When they were put together you could hear sudden changes in pitch. Disconcerting. Story line predictable. Kept reinforcing rape and sodomy. Same with many other gory descriptions. Seemed like for the shock value. Then sudden bursts of music! What was that about! The female narrator made every person sound the same. Overall poorly done. Not well written. Not sure why I listened to the end. Likely just to get rid of it! That said, it did draw the listener in to some extent. Not a total waste of time but close!

Well worth the read

Revisado: 11-13-17

Lee Child has such a way with a story! Very violent but funny too; and Reacher is soo tough but so compassionate; he's like a therapist with a punch! Great story, this one. I love how Lee Child goes into such detail; he really gets it. The narrator; he is very good but I have to agree with another reviewer; he sounds like he is 80! Voice sometimes loses a syllable as happens with older folks. But I can handle that because he is a good narrator; the different accents; you are never at a loss who is speaking. Highly recommended.

amazing

I have never listened to nor read a zombie book; never thought I would but this caught me; just enough science to interest; kept me involved and intersted in the characters; highly recommended

Waste of time.

Revisado: 05-01-12

Very annoying voices from the narrator. Stupid plot; not at all believable. And a lot of behind the scenes political views being voiced. Can't believe these novels are popular. Is it just because this takes place in California? Yuch!!
