Great idea, brutal book.

Revisado: 02-02-16

I am so disappointed. This book could have done with some serious editing. I was so bored at points I swear the only thing that held me was the narrator. He did well considering. A waste of a credit and hours I can never get back. If you must indulge, get the abridged, or better yet, read the book summary - that's as good as it gets.

Brilliantly Sick and Twisted

Revisado: 05-08-15

What happens when your marriage is reduced to a game of cat and mouse? We live in a world where reality and fiction are so intertwined that we expect our partners to 'say the right thing and react the right way' because that's what the movies say or our favourite magazine has published. How far would you go to get your spouse to fit the mould?
The ending disturbed me but only because it reeked of reality. Sometimes things stay messy - not every story ends with a kiss and a promise of ever after.
Excellent listen. Another win! Thanks Audible!

Geez, So Disappointing...

Revisado: 05-02-15

I am a huge fan of Mo Hayder and, although I really like the perspective this story is told from, I was left feeling kinda ripped.
Of the two main characters, the Chinese professor was interesting and had a lot of depth. I could empathize with his story.
The young woman in the story had potential that was never realized, and she, along with the rest of the characters, made me just want to yell, "Get to the point already!" They simply bored me.
This one isn't going on my recommend list.

How Far Would You Go?

Revisado: 04-28-15

This third installment was the best yet. I was immediately hooked from the first few words. Joseph O'Loughlin has become one of my favorite characters whom I like to revisit as I listen to this series.
I found myself confronted with the question of how far I would go to save someone I love. And then, would my actions save them anyway?
If you like psychological thrillers, this is a must listen. The narrator is excellent and I can't wait to listen to him again.
Another winner! Thanks Audible!!

Absolutely Incredible . . . That's all I Can Say

Revisado: 04-26-15

I listened to this book while cleaning out my cold room and I say this simply because it had such an impression on me that I will never forget doing that mundane task. I was mesmerized by this story that made me want to cry, to vomit, to scream. It was one of those books where I wanted so badly to interfere and guide the main character in the right direction, but would that be better? Mo Hayder's ability to visit the minds of characters who are abhorrent human beings was astounding. To say I loved this story as much as I was sickened by it seems odd but there is just no other way to put it. This story drove home the point that ignorance is bliss. Damien Goodwin was an outstanding narrator. I still get a cold shiver when I think of this novel.

Is There Ever a Statute of Limitations on Revenge?

Revisado: 04-26-15

There are consequences for actions and the fact that there seems to be no statute of limitations for revenge makes a person wonder if, in fact, we will eventually pay for the mistakes we made as wee children. Mistakes that most of us will never remember since our actions at 5 or 6 years old are often lost to the dull mist of memory. Hmmm.. this could be a scary thought.
Candida Gubbins narrated this story well.

Magic Rings and Sinister Things...

Revisado: 04-26-15

This story was my first introduction to Mitchell Hogan and it did not disappoint. Sorcery and adventure are always fun but only if it is actually believable. When an author does it right, the magic makes sense and the world created does not contradict itself. There are rules and "culture" within which the characters make decisions and choose to act. The world feels real and the characters have substance.
Oliver Wyman as narrator makes the story even better. It was a win! Thanks Audible!!

Kurt Wallender - I like you...

Revisado: 04-20-15

I really enjoyed this story. It was relatable and didn't seem far fetched. The main character Kurt has some depth and although some of his behaviour is questionable (when it comes to the ladies), it doesn't come out of nowhere - he has reasons for his actions that are also relatable.
I will give the next in this series a try for sure.
Thx Audible!
