An historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, best-selling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic To Kill a Mockingbird. Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014.

Not a novel -- a sociology textbook
Revisado: 09-04-15
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A story. A plot. Anything tangible.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I can see why this was rewritten to produce Mockingbird. It was only worth the listening time to put that much much better work in context.

A mysterious incident in Russia, a blip buried in the news - it’s the only warning humanity receives that civilization will soon be destroyed by a single, voracious virus that creates monsters of men. A lawyer, still grieving over the death of his young wife, begins to write as a form of therapy. But he never expected that his anonymous blog and journal would ultimately record humanity’s last days. Governments scramble to stop the zombie virus, people panic, so-called Safe Havens are established, the world erupts into chaos; soon it’s every man, woman, and child for themselves.

Some real annoyances, but a decent story
Revisado: 12-12-12
Is there anything you would change about this book?
A little fact checking could have gone a long way....1) SCUBA tanks are filled with compressed air, not oxygen. I thought the narrator was going to assemble a cutting torch when he was just going diving. 2) Those things on a diver's feet are not flippers. They are fins. If we are to believe the narrator was a regular diver before SHTF, this should have been corrected. and 3) The narrator familiarized himself with the basic functions of the Glock, including the trigger and the safety. -- I'm paraphrasing a bit. Glocks do not have an external safety. If the narrator had never fired a gun before, he would certainly not be familiar with the Glock's three passive safety mechanisms.
None of them require the shooter to do anything but pull the trigger for it to go bang. But by far, the biggest annoyance is this. The author has tried to avoid the Z word at all costs. He describes the dead walking slowly around, stumbling, mumbling and pursuing the living. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, call it a duck, dadgummit! He even at one point compares the creatures to those in second rate horror films. Oh, you mean the zombies?
I'm about half way through this book and it's driving me bananas!
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I might get there....
Which scene was your favorite?
I did like his interactions with the hapless neighbor.
Was The Beginning of the End worth the listening time?
meh

No longer willing to wait for the international community to stop its neighboring enemy, Israel launches a creative and daring operation that leaves a radioactive tomb in the middle of Iran's second largest city. An outraged Iranian government publicly blames both Israel and the United States and demands retribution.

Rapp is the MAN!!
Revisado: 02-10-08
This book is great. This type of character can easily be overdone like Roger Moore in the 80's Bond flicks. Flynn is now my favorite author!
Mitch Rapp for President!

Third Flynn book
Revisado: 02-10-08
This was my third Flynn novel. Once again, I was impressed. Rapp is the MAN! Seriously, it's really easy to over-do a character like Rapp. Anyone remember the Roger Moore Bond movies from the 80's? I did find the ending to be a bit of a let down, but it fit with Rapp's motives. I can't wait for the next book!
