Finally!!!

Revisado: 01-28-21

This was *so* good! I am often disappointed by this author because the plots are well conceived but there are procedural errors that I find frustrating (where’s the editor???).

The protagonist in this case isn’t law enforcement so she’s less constrained in that regard. The narrator was excellent. Highly recommend.

Where is Sullivan Jones???

Revisado: 05-20-20

Here’s the thing - by the fourth book in a series with the same narrator, the narrator and the character become so intertwined that any other voice makes you feel that the character is a stranger. Zeno Robinson isn’t bad, and I’ll look for something else he’s narrated to give him a fairer chance. The change in the voice made the book grate for me - couldn’t find my listening groove and so kept losing the details of the plot.

Regrettable switch.

Poor Narration Choice

Revisado: 12-11-18

I never ever give negative reviews but in this case I think a heads up is in order. There are two narrators - Ms Pressley narrates female dialogue and all descriptive text, and Mr Brewer narrates male dialog. The result is disjointed and jarring. Either one of the narrators would have done a fine job on their own but the combination, especially with Ms Pressley narrating all the he saids and he replieds makes for an awkward listen. In addition, it sounds as if Me Brewer’s dialog was recorded separately and edited in - it’s slightly louder and he sounds more like he’s acting his dialog rather than narrating.

The book is great - read it rather than listen.

Beyond creepy dystopia

Revisado: 05-03-15

Starts off vaguely reminiscent of Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go and then veers off in a completely different direction. Could not put it down. Beautifully read.

A well-researched story of resistance

Revisado: 04-28-15

Everyone (one would hope) knows of Auschwitz and of the horrors inflicted there, largely because there were survivors to tell the story. Less is known of the death camps - Majdanek, Belzec and Sobibor. We need to know the stories of these camps, we need to know of the brave resistance efforts and we need to share these stories with our children.
