This is the best story and outstanding narration combination I have enjoyed for a long time. For my money bad narration lessens the impact of the best narrative but outstanding narration lifts even an average story into a five star category. I wish I could give Victor Methos and Steve Carlson six stars in all categories. Terrific!

Vince Flynn at his absolute best. Gripping plot, plausible characters, and plenty of action. Recommended.

OUTSTANDING

Revisado: 01-02-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book was hugely enjoyable. The characters were credible, the plot was gripping, and the inter-familial relationships realistic and touching. I would definitely recommend this book and will listen to more of Tami Hoags books.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The 9th Girl?

The sadly flawed relationship between mother and daughter - Penny and Julia. Tragic.

Have you listened to any of David Colacci’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No - but I thought David Colacci's narration was outstanding. I tend to be very critical of narration since it can easily ruin the listening experience - but this guy is marvelous. Speed, characterization, and appropriate emphasis, etc. were spot on

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

Would you consider the audio edition of The Boys in the Boat to be better than the print version?

I listened rapt to the story and do not own the printed version. The writing is first class and the historical detail fascinating.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The story focusses on Joe's experience as he battles to raise enough money to pay for his college career at Washington University and for ultimate fitness and skill in the racing eight.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

My response to the book was one of admiration for all those who took their rowing to the pinnacle of success - their guts and determination at a time in American history when life was difficult and unrewarding.

Any additional comments?

Very, very enjoyable - highly recommended.

This is vintage Crais so if you have enjoyed his earlier books you will enjoy this. Pike is his silent, effective self and the plot is engaging. Excellent narration.

" "Faithful Place" is wrenching to a degree that detective fiction rarely achieves."(Laura Miller). Beautifully written, wonderfully intelligent and an extraordinary deconstruction of the ultimately dysfunctional family. The prose is clever and the observation detailed and perceptive. Running throughout is a vein of kindness and acceptance of human nature and the forces that move us. Tana French is absolutely brilliant as she brings us into more intimate contact with the texture and pathos of life in a poor Irish family than anything I have ever read. Tim Gerard Reynolds' narration is masterly and this is very likely a book that makes a better listen than a read.

Unexciting

Revisado: 03-23-10

Found this book dull. For me a book comes alive as the author builds credible characters who carry forward the action in a way that grabs and holds one's attention and, sometimes, one's emotion.. In The Motive this just doesn't happen. Narration was fine - did not interpose itself between the book and the listener in a distracting way - but could not rescue the essential tedium of the book.

Not To Be Missed

Could not turn this off. One cold winter's night 7-year old Libby's mother and two sisters ae murdered. Her brother is convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Twemty years later Libby begins to look into the circumstances surrounding the tragedy, unravelling a complex history woven by a mixed cast of dysfunctional characters. The narration is excellent. As the story is told first by Libby and then by the men and other women involved in the action, male and female narrators provide their voices. It is immensely effective.

This contribution by Tony Parks is an outstanding listen. The plot is intriguing, the characters human and engaging, and the descriptions of Africa are spell binding. I enjoyed this book from first to last and recommend it to other listeners who are looking for a good thriller. It was hard to put my iPod down.
