Love the setting and era

Revisado: 09-19-22

Narrator was a bit flat but the novel and story were great. Would be a really good summer read.

Just a well written book

Revisado: 09-18-22

This was the simplest of stories. But such well-developed characters. Nice to read/listen for the pleasure of the novel. Well-developed characters and good job by the narrator.

Super Good for what it is!!

Revisado: 11-12-19

Wow ! Imagine my surprise at downloading the monthly FREE book and getting a really well made “podcast type” book of true crime. It was a really interesting “documentary” that kept me engaged and looking for more with each chapter I listened to. The production was well done and the material unique and fresh. Not sure if it’s a first publication for this author but I’ll definitely look for more!

Top Audible Book of all time ? Possibly yes!

Revisado: 11-08-19

Now this is how an audible experience is supposed to be. Superb writing with unparalleled audio by Tom Hanks. I would have loved reading this book but am so glad that I listened instead. There are just so many GREAT expressions and Mr Hanks voice inflections highlights each of these giving them even more meaning. Truly music to the ears and words on the heart. I loved this entire performance from start to finish. The characters were so well-developed and I was sad when it ended. I WANT MORE !! Or at least more Audible experiences like this one. Thank you Ms Patchett and Mr Hanks for this brilliant partnership.

Good story for a free download

I thought this was a good book for a free download. I enjoyed doing one afternoons chores while listening. Thanks Audible.

Great (but sad) book. Annoying narrator

Revisado: 10-26-19

The narrators methodical monotone delivery almost ruined the whole audio book. But I hung in because this story was just so gripping. I’m not sure the author laid it out as another better crime writer would have but it was compelling. Probably the most cringe worthy audio was his pronunciation of the sorority “Alpha Delta Pi” that sonehow he kept saying “pee” ?? Who gets that from Pi (pie).
The worst however was his narration of closing articles in which he felt compelled to give Sound/accent effects to the quotes but change back to the monotone voice for the non quoted parts. For example, “accent accent accent” then “he said” (in monotone). This was a distraction as it was a conversation switching with every sentence from BAD Southern accent to monotone to accent to monotone. !! Ugh.

I finally turned it off and downloaded Written book and read the ending.

You will understand this when you download the book although it’s probably best read instead of audible.

Too preachy ??

Revisado: 08-30-19

Just having finished might not be the best time to review this book as I can find myself rethinking many of the topics this book contained. Sometimes I REALLY liked the way Russo worded various passages. Other times I thought “only a guy could like this book” or “I can totally see dumb guys doing this”. So I’m not sure. I think I liked it, but I did feel that some of the character developments went on for too long. However I very much liked how this story ended,in fact it was my favorite part of the book. So for now my numbers stand bit as time goes on, I reserve the right to change them.

A good summer read

Revisado: 07-14-19

I thought the characters were well
Developed and the plot gained at a good speed before it was all explained. It was not easily guessed until the last chapter or two. I t was a quick listen and kept me entertained appropriately for a basic type book

Free book a real winner

Revisado: 07-10-19

This was a really great book that I thoroughly enjoyed listening to. It would not have been the same in print because of the great audio clips that carried the story. I felt like I was listening to further explanation of the Apollo 11 movie. Can’t beat the price!!

Unexpectedly good

Revisado: 05-03-19

I wasn’t expecting to be such a good story, but it was really intriguing and the narrator was super as well.
