Average story with below average performance

Revisado: 02-02-18

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

For me, the narrator lacked emotion and dramatic performance. The story was average with an unrealistic, all too neat ending, but could have been made better by a different narrator.

Would you recommend All Lies to your friends? Why or why not?

Would not recommend except perhaps as a printed read. The story is too clean, too tied up. The ending was just too unrealistic. Would be OK as a quick mindless read, but not worth listening too for hours.

What didn’t you like about Greg Hernandez’s performance?

Totally lacked emotion. I felt like I was listening to a high school student being forced to read a story in front of class. No inflection, no dramatic emphasis, no differentiation between characters. Every word was enunciated perfectly, but that’s not how real people talk. He has substituted a perfect reading for what should have been a dramatic performance. I will avoid other works narrated by him.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Very little reaction because of the flat narration.

Well titled

What made the experience of listening to Torture Man the most enjoyable?

The performance by Shawn Saavedra was excellent. The story was a nice blend of the implications of morality balanced against practicality. Thought provoking while providing a pulse-quickening storyline.

What did you like best about this story?

Classic tug-of-war between morality and practicality.

What does Shawn Saavedra bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Good pacing and inflections.

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

Never ask for a favor without knowing the consequences.
