What a difference a narrator makes
- De Richard en 08-03-11
Terrible narrator
Revisado: 12-23-17
The story is intriguing but difficult to listen to because of the narrator. He has a flat affect and often misses completely the intonation necessary to convey the characters’ emotions.

John Puller's mother disappeared nearly 30 years ago. Despite an intensive search and investigation, she was never seen again. But new allegations have come to light suggesting that Puller's father - now suffering from dementia and living in a VA hospital - may have murdered his wife. Puller is officially barred from working on the case and faces a potential court-martial if he disobeys the order, but he knows he can't sit this investigation out.

Unbelievable-not in a good way
Revisado: 03-02-17
Not a fan of supermen characters. This was more like bad sci-fi than suspense. Either way, it was wasted time, in my opinion.

It was January 2021, and Rick Deckard had a license to kill. Somewhere among the hordes of humans out there lurked several rogue androids. Deckard's assignment: find them and then..."retire" them. Trouble was, the androids all looked exactly like humans, and they didn't want to be found!

not quite like the movie, a great read nevertheless. Therefore I wonder why the original title is not used.

Poor Choice
Revisado: 05-01-15
I couldn't wait to get to the dismal ending of this one. The narration is in the voice of a little/young girl and it became very tedious. Many parts drag on and on to no benefit of the storyline. In one section the characters go kiting and eventually it flies off and away, like this book should do.

If Ridley Jones had slept 10 minutes later or had taken the subway instead of waiting for a cab, she would still be living the beautiful lie she used to call her life. She would still be the privileged daughter of a doting father and a loving mother. Her life would still be perfect, with only the tiny cracks of an angry junkie for a brother and a charming drunk with shady underworld connections for an uncle to mar the otherwise flawless whole.

Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is 12, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.

Completely Engaging
Revisado: 10-03-14
This is one of my best listens of the year. The storyline begins in the years before WWII and ends long after the end of that horrible period of history. l found the major characters to be people that you understand and relate to even if their allegiance and motivation in the story is an aberration to our senses. The plots move right along and the narrative was easy to follow despite changing locations and time frames. The last two or three hours were riveting and before I finished it, all my predictions on how it would end proved to be erroneous. The actual ending was pretty perfect.

boilerplate DeMille
Revisado: 08-28-11
Spencerville has all the familiar literary conventions of author Nelson DeMille. There is the strong, smart hero, the beautiful love interest and of course the despicable powerful bad guy. A true DeMille fan will love this epic. Unfortunately it is formula-like in predictability for someone who has listened to many others in his body of works. When I finally got to the end it was certainly satisfying but also a relief to finish it. I need a break from this author for a while but will return for more eventually. I'll be looking for a next book that isn't so formula driven.

Excellent Listen

Very enjoyable to listen to. The narration is top notch and the story, although familiar because of the screenplay, remains very suspenseful. Highly recommended.

Ruby Lennox was conceived grudgingly by Bunty and born while her father, George, was in the Dog and Hare in Doncaster. Bunty had never wanted to marry George, but he was all that was left. She really wanted to be Vivien Leigh, swept off to America by a romantic hero. But here she was, stuck in a flat above the pet shop beneath York Minster, with sensible Patricia, aged five, greedy Gillian who refused to be ignored, and Ruby, who tells the memorable, witty, and eventful story of The Family.

Didn't like it
Revisado: 08-28-11
I read the glowing reviews for this book and just don't get it. I loved Started Early, Took The Dog and that's why I selected this to read. The endless character studies of Ruby's long dead relatives that lead nowhere finally wore me down and I stopped listening. It's funny and smart in some places but not nearly enough to hold my interest for 12 hours. There is a story in there according to other reviews but I couldn't find a thread of it for as long as I listened. I dislike giving up on books so will probably return and begin it all over the next time I need a change of pace listen. If my opinion changes when I get through it all, I promise to amend my remarks.
