Plot twists I never saw coming

Revisado: 12-10-24

I'm pretty good at guessing plot twists, but this book makes me doubt my abilities. I loved being taken by surprise. Also, the narration in this audiobook is excellent.

Best in the two part series

Revisado: 11-23-24

The characters in this 2nd book of the series have more depth. Every character has an interesting story. The story in book two is also much more immersive than the first book.

Wonderful audiobook, but I kept getting distracted

Revisado: 10-17-24

The audiobook's narrator, Fiona Shaw, did a masterful job. She used her acting skills to portray each character (and their accents). Her delivery is emotional, defiant, sorrowful, and whimsical - so much so that I was completely immersed to the point of distraction from the actual story. I replayed chapters so that I could focus on the story, but that's completely fine by me! The story is very well-written, making this audiobook one of the favorites in my library.

Unexpected story from Robert Dugoni

Revisado: 08-24-24

This audiobook really surprised me. It's a great departure from Dugoni's usual stories of intrigue and murder mystery. But it's more than that. This book is a unique coming of age story with a diverse cast of characters - some of whom have unexpected arcs, while others you might think are ready to redeem themselves, only to find out that they're still frozen in the past. Robert Dugoni narrated this audiobook, which made me believe this story might be a personal one in many ways. I loved this story and how it was told.

A joyride of a story

Revisado: 08-11-24

A witty, sharp, hilarious story narrated by actors
Wil Wheaton and Ron Perlman. It's short and it goes by fast.

Great performances and captivating story

Revisado: 06-21-24

I've gotten tired of many performed podcasts because they use too many distracting sound effects. This one, however, strikes a perfect balance - the story is enhanced by the sound effects. The acting is very good as well.

Hilarious!

Revisado: 10-27-22

I've always known Zachary Quinto as a serious actor who plays villains. I'm so pleased to hear him do comedy - and he's hilarious! The whole cast is funny and the writing is so good.

Story is predictable and weak

Revisado: 10-23-22

The only reason I didn't give this one star is because Zachary Quinto is so good despite the material. The sophomoric story and two dimensional characters had me quit the story about three quarters through. The investigator and ex law-enforcement characters are just so unbelievably stupid (you seriously needed to see a sketch to figure that out)? The "method" instructor is so cartoonish, he could have been the bowling instructor on the Simpsons (feel the floor underneath your feet, Marge).

Anni Taylor is never predictable

Revisado: 10-06-22

I'm usually good at figuring out perpetrators. This is the second book I've listened to by Anni Taylor, and I've gotten it wrong both times. Her books are addictive, because the twists are so unexpected. In this book, I could relate to the main character, with her insecurities about motherhood and her sense of self.

I'll be listening again and again

Revisado: 02-25-22

This is such a beautiful tribute to Paul Simon. The conversations with him and many others who were moved by his music made me go back to every song and listen to its entirety. Roseanne Cash's recollection of playing the song, The Only Living Boy in New York, to her two year old son brought me to tears.
