Boo..just..Boo!

Revisado: 02-11-19

I am a HUGE Stephen King fan and have been for as long as I can remember. This book truly let me down! It seemed forced, FAR to political, to be honest very pandering. It seemed a lot less like an intriguing and creative story, and a lot more like "See! We hate men too..we're enlightened good guys". I always..always..finish a book that I start. This has been the one exception. I can't help myself. It is both sorely lacking in creativity, character development, and cohesive thought. All that while managing to be far to much in all the wrong ways. A combination not even thought possible, however, this book managed it.

Worth Reading

Revisado: 06-14-17

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Of course. At the end of the day it's Dean Koontz, enough said.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The main characters inner-dialog with herself would be the most interesting. The least interesting were the minor characters. You never got the chance to really invest in them.

Which scene was your favorite?

The ending, by far.

If you could rename The Taking, what would you call it?

The cleanse

Any additional comments?

Not my favorite Koontz book, but worth the read!

What did you like best about Lie to Me? What did you like least?

I did like that it wasn't a carbon copy, cookie-cutter, suspense story. It was creative, thought out, and decently written. The pace was good. You had time to get to know the characters but it didn't drag a whole lot. Jess Ryder did something not easily accomplished. She simultaneously unfolded the past and pushed forth the present. The only regret is that the ending seemed a bit rushed.

What did you like best about this story?

The cast

Was Lie to Me worth the listening time?

It most certainly was.

Any additional comments?

Destined to become a classic?? No, But definitely worth your time.

What did you like best about The Lost Children? What did you like least?

Personally I loved that it wasn't "drawn out" at any point. It was fairly fast moving. However, because of this the characters by the end I didn't feel any connection with

What aspect of Alison Campbell’s performance would you have changed?

Slightly MORE emotion during the distressing and tumultuous parts.

Would you listen to Odd Thomas again? Why?

YES, SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON THAT YOU MAY HAVE MISSED IT THE FIRST TIME.

What did you like best about this story?

THE MAIN CHARACTER, ODD THOMAS. I FIND HIM WITTY, CHARMING, AND BELIEVABLE.

Have you listened to any of David Aaron Baker’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

NO, BUT IT IS NOW ON MY "TO DO" LIST.

If you could take any character from Odd Thomas out to dinner, who would it be and why?

TAKE OUT TO DINNER??? LITTLE OZZIE OF COURSE. HE WOULD KNOW ALL THE BEST PLACES TO EAT AND WHAT TO ORDER!! GIVEN A CHOICE THOUGH, I WOULD JUST RATHER THAT HE, THOMAS AND I AND JUST ALL FIXED A MEAL TOGETHER.

WOW!

Revisado: 04-16-13

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I HAVE RECOMMENDED THIS BOOK TO FRIENDS SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY! IT IS A ENTHRALLING STORY LINE, BEAUTIFULLY DELIVERED, WITH TWISTS AND TURNS THAT LEAVE YOU GUESSING UNTIL THE VERY END! I AM THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO STARTS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE ENDING TO A MYSTERY AFTER THE VERY FIRST WORD. IT'S SOMETHING I CANNOT CONTROL. I WAS LEFT GUESSING BY THE TWISTS AND TURNS TIL THE VERY LAST PAGE! IT WAS GREAT.

What did you like best about this story?

THE WAY THE AUTHOR WAS TO USE EVERY DAY EXPERIENCES AND OTHERWISE NORMAL SITUATIONS TO WEAVE TOGETHER A BRAND NEW WORLD.

Have you listened to any of Natalie Ross and Phil Gigante ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

NOT YET, BUT IT IS ON MY "TO DO" LIST.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES!

Any additional comments?

IF THERE WAS A DETRACTOR IT WAS THAT THE MAIN CHARACTER CONSTANTLY STATES SHE "IS FROM THE SOUTH". BY THE END OF THE BOOK ALL I COULD THINK IS "WE GET IT ALREADY!"

WORK OF ART!

What other book might you compare The Suicide Collectors to and why?
