Disappointed

Revisado: 07-06-24

It was boring and would not fast-forward - and yet I could not return it.

Couldn’t even finish this

Revisado: 06-18-23

I was very disappointed. They seem to write this from a different point of view then Jack reacher‘s. But I buy the book for Jack reacher. So the uniqueness wasn’t there for me. And I love Jack reacher books.

May be a good story but difficult to tell with a droning near raider

Revisado: 08-12-19

Pay the money and get a really good storyteller. It would make such a huge difference. The writing is pretty good, but it’s difficult to see that with this narrator. It sounds a bit like a dry documentary.

Best Koontz Book Ever

Revisado: 02-11-19

If you’re an animal lover you’ll love this book. The golden retriever takes center stage throughout the whole story. A very special golden retriever. Read this book.

Another Great Bosch (& Ballard) Book

Revisado: 12-08-18

The title says it all.

Bosch is changing and evolving, but this time another detective - Ballard Dash is an integral part of the story.

LOVED this book!

What a talented writer. I hope he writes a few more--a series. The female character was believable.

Boring -- Offensive

Revisado: 03-09-17

Unbelievable characters and an offensive plot that has our former President dropping any EMP on the country. Vile.

One of the best narrations I've ever heard--nice job Sullivan

Revisado: 12-09-16

Good plot and subplot. I enjoyed learning about the main character and the performance was excellent. I would buy another book by this author or narrator.

McLeod Andrews should have been the narrator

Revisado: 07-17-16

What would have made The Last Refuge better?

More show--less tell

What was most disappointing about Bobby Adair and T.W. Piperbrook ’s story?

The way women are treated throughout the whole story is so negative and moronic.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I know Sean Runette has narrated a lot of books. However even though he is always prepared, I don't care for his voice. I go out of my way avoiding books that he narrates. McLeod Andrews can make any book good.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Throughout all of the books I wanted to hear more about the ancient city and Ivory and his teacher. There was a lightness to that part of the story that was refreshing.

Any additional comments?

I wanted to like the books--and I listened to them. I just wish there wasn't this overall pious tone throughout them, especially regarding women. That was tiresome. The whole story line could've been magical: wonderful. Meaning – it had potential.

Low Opinion of Women

Revisado: 07-12-16

The story had potential. Unfortunately EVERY woman was a dithering, damsel in distress. That singularbviewpoint of women made the story feel very flat.

Where as more seasoned writers could have given/provided greater depth by portraying women in a variety of ways regardless of how broken down the civilization was.

Even in our most repressed cultures in our world today, there are strong women who emerge, showing their strength and bravery in little ways – day-to-day ways – and big ways. I guess I look for that depth and richness in a good story.
