DISJOINTED SCIENCE FICTION.

Revisado: 10-30-24

This has been on my "To read" list for years and I was really looking forward to it. What a tremendous disappointment.

I can not imagine how this could have become a "Classic" I kept reading until the end hoping something would come together and make sense. Was Bradbury attempting to illustrate the weakness of the human race? His sci-fi did not even make sense. One pragmatist hides a "Family rocket" that will take him and his family to Mars. Really?
I think folks who rate this high have never read good literature.

My last Daniel Silva novel

Revisado: 08-10-24

I have read most of the Gabriel Allon series and have enjoyed them very much including The Cellist until the somewhat veiled attack on the 45th President of our country. One may use the disclaimer in the authors note for legal reasons but it is glaringly apparent that Silva is a hard line Trump hater. His diatribe after the end is misleading, erroneous, and possibly libelous.
You are a writer of fiction and not a political commentator and you would do well to remember that. In addition, it seems to me, that a fiction writer with your proven ability would be able to conjure up a plot line that did not simply copy the misguided accusations of a biased political party that tried every way in the world to besmirch a great leader and are still at it.
You force me to take my leave of you Daniel Silva.

SAVE YOUR TIME

Revisado: 03-27-24

King has reached a new low. This story is so incredibly ridiculous and below his capability that only his name must be what got this published.
It's enough to make me swear off any future King books.

Good thing I didn't have to pay for this

Revisado: 01-30-24

The premise was not bad but the narrator was like he was reading the phone book. Many parts that did not fit together. The worst of it was that Russ had absolutely no reason to suspect Taylor had anything to do with the murder and abduction but it was like he had an epiphany when he got hit by the car. It was a very long 13 hours.

Save your money

Revisado: 01-05-24

Ridiculous premise, and terrible presentation. The narrators voices were laughable and bush league. I would send this back if it were allowed.

Very hard to follow

Revisado: 01-03-24

The only thing that kept me listening to this was Simon Vance. I have loved the Lizbeth Salender novels from the start but Smirnoff's writing style made this one unbearable. Bouncing from one event or situation to another and or inserting presumably a voice from the past in someone's head with no foreshadowing made this a very unpleasant read.

You get what you pay for

Easy to see why this book was free. I usually enjoy Lackberg , not so much this time. Parts that did not fit together, a faulty premise and much longer than it needed to be.

Typical King

Revisado: 09-26-23

24 hours to tell an 8 hour story. The first third was interesting and promising but the promise was never kept. Nothing fit during the middle and most of the ending thirds. His best work was 11-22-63. Everything else has been disappointing. I’m done with King

Typical

Revisado: 09-14-23

Typical Stephen King, twice as long as needed to tell a very good premise. In addition all the campaigning for covid and smoking did not do anything to enhance the experience.
The sing song presentation of the narrator was irritating.

Not a fan of Abridged

Revisado: 06-27-23

Too many holes in the abridged version to make this enjoyable. I had a huge question regarding the main premise. If the brief was already widely distributed, what was the point of killing all these people. The premise is faulty from the beginning.
