Not my favorite narrator

Revisado: 10-27-23

The story was good, but I got distracted by the “Lucas” “Virgil” to introduce each speaker. Good readers don’t need that. We already know the characters and can follow conversations. It was like reading a play: announcing each character’s name

Great story if

Revisado: 09-29-23

This book was a great listen if (as you should when reading fiction) you are willing to suspend belief in some parts of the story that seem a bit contrived. I prefer novels where the authors do not try to awake social consciousness; however, the author states that is what she wanted to do. I listen as an escape from the ugliness of parts of society. So I will continue to listen to her books.

Get rid of the music

Revisado: 11-01-22

I have read all of connelly’s books and wait anxiously for a new one. I hated this production. Most avid readers create a movie in their minds while they read. I was lost in the story and the music would start and I be looking around to see what was left on or from where it was coming. When I read an actual book there is no music. What was the point of a soundtrack to a book. It was so distracting. If this becomes a trend, I will cancel my audible ( where I have listened to 325 books since I joined) and will start with library books again.
Sorry, Mr Connelly, but the music was a bad decision.

Not what I expect from Turrow

Revisado: 10-23-22

I was excited when this book was released ; however, it didn’t take long for disappointment to take over. It’s like an average writer tried to imitate Turow’s writing. Cliches and a mediocre story were nothing like the author’s earlier work.

Disappointing

Revisado: 11-05-21

Rather maudlin predicable story. Not what I expected from this author. Ok for historical fiction blended with a modern story but no mystery rather trite ending

A great read

Revisado: 10-06-21

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this. I’m not a fan of early King, but I found Revival to be wonderful and I enjoyed Mr Mercedes. It took a good while for me to enjoy the book about Kennedy. I thought the same about this book, but once I let the story “find me,” I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like this Stephen King. I have always recognized his talent but a wisdom or philosophy that runs through this book was very satisfying. Perhaps because I am older that appealed to me.

Good entertainment

Revisado: 02-28-20

I enjoy Scott Brick’s narration. He doesn’t try to be a different voice for every character. Just a nice, rich voice that lets my imagination create character voices. This was my first book by this author and while it wasn’t Connelly or Child it was a good story

Great story until....

Revisado: 04-30-19

This book held my interest until the last few chapters where it became maudlin and cliched. It’s worth a listen, but be prepared to power through the last few chapters

Greg Iles Best

Revisado: 03-30-19

This was absolutely his best book. The story was great - twist and turns and surprises. I was never bored. However, the writing is excellent. Some beautiful sentences that took my breath away. Once he fell into a cliche but only once. Love and loss and the reality of life. Incredible

Too much thinking

Revisado: 11-15-18

I am a Jack Reacher fan. I have read every book. This one was a little disappointing. The two halves took a long time to intertwine and way too much time was spent in Reacher’s head. It got tedious listening to all the ‘could be this-could be that.’

For another author maybe a great book, for Lee Child a bit disappointing.
