RE-treaded and unimaginative

Revisado: 02-19-25

The characters are cliched. And the tone is often overly woke. The most politically correct and sensitive cops ever written. With a completely unlikable central character who goes around harassing people under the guise of criminal investigation. The plot is simplistic and dull.

A story about Nothing

Revisado: 09-14-24

Nothing happens. Referencing the previous book, which was merely mediocre, as if it were a classic, is ludicrous.
Trying to tell a murder mystery from an alternate point of view, good idea perhaps, but the execution fails miserably. You’re just left with a narrator who talks about the past “previous “ story which is dramatically not interesting. Very few things happen in the present that are of interest and the things that do happen are repetitive and predictable and don’t drive the story forward interestingly. All very tepid and lackluster.
Also, the narrator’s vocal cadence doesn’t help build any tension or suspense.

CONFEDERATE SYMPATHIES

Revisado: 03-28-24

First and foremost, this book is not scary. It should not be in the ‘horror’ category. It pretends to be, unfortunately it is a poorly veiled attempt at the genre by a confederate sympathizer. I wish i had been warned and am disgusted and disappointed that Audible has this book on offer.

ABSOLUTELY DULL

Revisado: 03-04-22

This book is categorized under Mystery, Thriller & Suspense……. Unfortunately, it’s none of those things. I kept waiting for the story those qualities to kick in but they never do. There’s zero dramatic tension or conflict. The whole story seems to be prologue and never kicks off.
Performance was very well done.
I just kept waiting for something interesting to happen but it truly never does.

Distracting performance

Revisado: 05-05-20

The accents used were bizarrely executed to the point of distraction.

Also there were several mispronounced words.

DULL

Revisado: 01-16-20

The Audible description on the website is much more entertaining and interesting than the actual book.

Embarrassing

Revisado: 01-06-20

If you’re producing a book that contains numerous phrases in a foreign language, make sure the actor is able to speak that language or have someone teach the performer proper pronunciations. It is NOT THAT DIFFICULT. This, however, was shameful and completely unacceptable. It ruins the atmosphere the author has created. This author and novel are one of the 20th century’s greatest and this performance has dishonored and spat upon it.
Come on guys, take some pride in what you do.

Do not purchase

What would have made Touch Me Gently better?

ONe of the worst books i've ever read (or listened to. Over simplistic and juvenile depiction of a shattered, abused soul. Feels as though the author has no insight into people at all, except what she may have deduced from watching daytime television. No insight into the male psyche at all. Or the gay male as well. It's actually insulting. She trivializes the people she attempted to created. It was painful to listen to, predictable beyond belief, and a complete waste of time.

Has Touch Me Gently turned you off from other books in this genre?

Almost

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