silly plot. I wanted to like it, but their actions were just too bizarre and unbelievable.

just ok

Revisado: 04-09-25

The reasons for the police to have him as a suspect, much less in questioning, seemed very flimsy and hard to justify. It's not like they were X-File investigators, they were normal police . Suddenly inserting a BLM lecture felt awkward and out of place for the story.

it was ok

Revisado: 03-07-25

it was just fair. The main character wasn't very likable. She was extremely insecure and wishy washy. The reporter was a shell of a character. Barely any development.

the narrator sounds like a man so it was very hard to get into the story when it was supposed to be a woman

Revisado: 04-12-24

The narrator's Voice ruined the experience of the story for me. I went into it not knowing what to expect because I had heard you could listen to these books and any order a standalone stories. so when the opening scene was being described and they got to the park about wishing to be a mother I was so confused. the narrator 100% sounds like a man and I did not understand they were speaking as a woman

unlikable charachters

Revisado: 02-02-24

I don't understand the rave reviews. it was just an ok story. Manipulated people who aren't very likable so you just really don't care about anyone. The ones who are somewhat ok seem mindless and make illogical decisions. Not much depth or detail, just surface value insights and very little to become invested in. I finished it only because I was driving and had no decent radio signal.

Pastor Alexis is annoying

Revisado: 12-13-23

Pastor Alexis was annoying and her sermons weren't anything special. I don't understand all the gushing over her by the other characters.

The cutting self harm lesbian who only was allowed to borrow her friends card if she "boned" the pastor was a ridiculous running commentary.

Last straw was when Pastor Alexis whined she should get laid and the brotherstopped snoring and puped up and agreed. I was done with this stupid story.

Decent story but with unnecessary sexualization

Revisado: 09-28-23

I liked the overall revenge story despite it being outrageously unbelievable, but the sexual references regarding her lesbian escapades with her best friend (which was initially portrayed as platonic friendship) and allusions to 3 ways felt totally shoehorned into the story. It was like some horny 13 year old boy was fantasizing about slumber party porn plots and slipped the paragraphs into the book unnoticed. Her sexual desires came up at inappropriate and unrealistic times. The descriptions really didn't add anything to the story that wasn't already enough without them. I'm not a prude but at the same time I don't really like when something, in an attempt to be "edgy", is injected for no purpose. These intersections felt forced and inconsistent with the character's actions outside these scenes. It jolts the listener out of the story with its abrupt change in pace and overall tone.

The evil white man

Revisado: 09-18-23

Whoever wrote this story needs therapy to deal with a severe inferiority complex over their skin color. The main characters view everything through a lense of what they must imagine is a world of nothing but racist white people thinking badly about them and plotting how to hold them down 24/7. The constant reminder they were black coupled with every interaction with a white person involved them being guilty of microagressions and prejudices got tedious quickly. Totally over the top. Says more about the author's racist beliefs rather than the other way around. This could have been a good story if it wasn't so blatantly beating the listener over the head with exaggeration.

I rated this 1 star for story and 3 fir performance. 2 overall. The app incorrectly shows 5 stars.

silly

Revisado: 11-11-22

The family secret, the pitchfork mob neighbors, the timing of the revealed secret...in the midst of a criminal investigation, the "twist" villian...it was all just so cheesy. A very bad LMN television plot. I actually was laughing at some points because of the ridiculously outrageous scenarios and actions of the characters. Just plain silliness.

King as a narrator is TORTURE to listen to.

Revisado: 06-11-21

The story was ok. Not one of my favorites...I think the perversion of the husband was a bit overboard, even for King. Norman's internal dialogue is not very realistic. The cursing sounds ridiculously juvenile with the excessive vulgarness. There's no way someone functions in normal society, much less excel as a police officer, with that sort of childish mind.

I almost quit listening due to King's narrating. His nasally voice is just awful. I couldn't take it. I had to fast forward almost half of Norman's parts just to escape the sound of his incessant droning, stuffy nose, echoing speech. I will not buy any other books he narrates. Mystery as to why nobody in his professional or personal inner circle has the guts to tell him how badly he sounds.
