Studies to keep you awake at night

Revisado: 02-14-19

Just when you though it was safe to get back in bed...
I heard of Matthew Walked on Joe Rogan's Podcast.
He scared me straight then, and he's scared me straight again.

Audio was poor, the content was good/scary

Revisado: 12-14-18

The audio kept slightly changing volume.
The content of the book was good. It's scary really, to know what is actually going on in the Industrial Farming sheds.
I hope more people listen to this and change their habits.

Page Turner, or Commute Lengthener

Revisado: 07-30-18

I loved this murder mystery. It took a little while to get going, but I trusted in the reviews here on Audible and it was worth it.
I wanted to keep listening to the story, even when my commute was over. I gets into a great flow after the janky start.
I'm really happy I seen the cover of this book in the book shop and added it to my Wishlist here.

Best book so far

Revisado: 09-15-17

Best in the series yet. Cliff Hanger ending that built on the previous book's ending. I'm really looking forward to the next one.

TV Show is better

Revisado: 05-04-17

I watched the TV show first and it was better than the book. It's one of the rare cases of the TV show having more lore than the book.

Terrible

Revisado: 01-20-17

I had high hopes for this book. But it was terrible. The frame story had potential, but the resolution to The Skinman Mystery was solved in five minutes. The inner story was completely unrelated to the frame story, despite Rolland saying "this finds me of a story my mother told me".
King was the worst narrator I have ever heard.

Good Villan Guessing

Revisado: 01-22-16

What did you love best about Career of Evil?

I really liked the whole "Who done it?" aspect of the book. The three villans suspects were well fleshed out through Strike's flashbacks. They each had reasons to be the main suspect.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot got better as the book went on. I started lisening slowly, and then for the second half of the book, I was listening to it in my car and while making dinner, to find out what was going on.

Which character – as performed by Robert Glenister – was your favorite?

I have a real soft spot for Shanker. I really liked how his voice was virtually unreckonisable from the other characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

The second half of the book was better than the first half.

Any additional comments?

I'm looking forward to the next book, there's still some unanswered questions about the main characters.

Excellent period book with a well executed plot.

Where does The Count of Monte Cristo rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I loved this book, it ranks up near the top, I'd say about third currently based on my current Audible library.

What did you like best about this story?

My favourite bits of the book were those that revolved around real historical events, such as Napolean's return and the history of the family who hid the treasure.
I love fiction that revolves around real events, such as the Metal Gear Solid franchise.
I really liked how The Count was controlling events.

Which scene was your favorite?

This book had loads of great scenes, but my favourite was where Caderousse tried to break into The Count's house in Paris, he was greated by Abbé Busoni. Then went outside and got stabbed.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It took a while for me to get into this book, but when The Count got to Paris I didn't want to stop listening.

Any additional comments?

I've added Andre's other main books to my wishlist.
John Lee gave a great performance here!

A fantastic crime novel

Revisado: 08-10-12

If you could sum up The Girl Who Played with Fire in three words, what would they be?

Mystery, Crime and Punishment.

What other book might you compare The Girl Who Played with Fire to and why?

It's hard to compare this to other books, I've read, as I've not read a great many books. I'd say it's a lot like the movie Pulp Fiction. Salander goes missing for ages in the middle of the book, the book describes the events happening to the other characters. Then it revisits her actions over the same time period. This happens in the kidknapp/fight scene between Nidermann and Wu/Roberto.
I really can't wait for the Hollywood version of the movie to come out, the Swedish one ruined the fight scene.

Which character – as performed by Saul Reichlin – was your favorite?

Salander, I loved the last words she said, "Kalle Bastard Blomkvist", started laughing like hell.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The same as the book's tag line, "There are no innocents, just different degrees of responsibility".

Any additional comments?

I'm in the process of downloading the third book, can't wait!

Really well written and really well read!

Revisado: 02-23-12

Where does The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

So far I've listened to the five

What did you like best about this story?

I loved how Micheal's back story is told through Lisabeth's report, and how Lisabeth's story is told in her head. I love all the Nazi, family history, religious, crazy, mystery plot and themes in the story.

What does Saul Reichlin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I loved Saul Reichlin's performance here, lots of distinct voices and excellent Swedish pronunciation of the town and character names

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but at 16 hours, I felt that this book was a bit short, as I listen to it at double speed. The other books I listened to were 30-50 hours long. But after seeing the movie, I could pick it up and put it down.

Any additional comments?

Can't wait to listen to the other books in the series and see the other movies.
