Body Count

Awesome book and series. Gabriel is trying to get back to his son and nothing is going to stop him or get in his way. Hope someday there will be a 4th book to this series. Definitely 5 stars and recommend this book in any format.

hoping for another book!

I'm going there will be another book and that we aren't left hanging as to what happens after this! Great book and narration!

Evans and Salzman does it again!

This story is intense. I like the characters, they are well developed and personable. Salzman did another homerun narration.

This book is supposed to be #3 in a series. I am guessing you probably need to listen to the first two for this to make sense. There is a lot of action, and suspense.

The narration was well done. The characters were excellently portrayed.

Adventurous Tale

Good to read did not have to struggle the narrator was nice to listen to a lot of action pack moments. Was not disappointed.

This book is #3 in a series. I need to listen to the first two for this to make sense and would have understand and grasp the flow of the story. There is a lot of action, and suspense.

Great story, but...

The first Mike Evans book I listened to was "The Orphans: Origins, Volume 1." If you go check out my review of that book, you can see that I really loved it and I even personally sent Mike Evans a note saying how great I thought his book turned out.

However, I'm having a hard time believing that this book, "Body Count: Gabriel, Book 3" was written by the same author.

Good stuff first.

I loved the story and the way it evolved. I greatly appreciate the imagination and actually enjoyed the book as the telling of an overall story. I'll be the first to say that I wouldn't be able to write a book about anything. The characters were great, the interactions were believable, and the pace was very quick with a lot of action. There were a lot of bad guys suffering horrible injuries and quick deaths.

Now the not so good stuff.

Between the narrator and the author, the grammar and dialogue was atrocious. I can't believe an editor let this book go through to publishing without some serious scrubbing. The words and thoughts didn't have any kind of flow to them. Repetitive words, thoughts and phrases were abundant throughout the book. For example, (paraphrasing the several times it was used) "I don't make threats, I make promises."

Repetition of the same words in back to back thoughts or sentences happened on many occasions. It sounded as though a child was speaking instead of a trained and educated CIA killer, or any of the other characters for that matter. My high school English teachers would have failed me for turning in a paper with this kind of grammar.

The narration certainly didn't help. S.W. Salzman has what I believe to be a great voice for doing audio narration, but this wasn't his finest work. I'm not sure though whether it was so choppy and tough to listen to because of the way the thoughts and words were arranged or because he was having an off day. Either way, it was tough to listen to at times.

Overall, I really loved the idea of the story and wouldn't change anything about it. I would however, do some serious proofreading, and send back for many edits of the grammar and dialogue. If I had known everything I know now, I still would have listened to the book. The story and ideas were great. Just very lacking in execution.

I received a free copy of this audio book for an honest review.

Gabriel is at it again

What did you love best about Body Count?

The literal boy count of enemies in Gabriels way.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Body Count?

Every time the other characters or Gabriel will explain that he doesn't deliver threats but promises and when they persist they see the the devil come for them. He goes after them so good.

Which scene was your favorite?

The escape after he beats up and kills the wife and child beater.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not necessarily an extreme reaction but I did love the revenge aspect of why he does the things he does.

Any additional comments?

This was a great and engaging book. The author Mike Evans did a very good job with the violence content and the feel for the characters. Salzman did an amazing job narrating the story and the different voices was an extra nice touch.

Awesome Duo

Everything was finally right for Gabriel, until those few seconds that changed everything, everything for so many because of one stupid decision. One that will need to be repaid.

This was a exciting book so much action and of course you are always rooting for Gabriel and his friends, and the suspense, sometimes I think I could have used a knife on it. This is a wonderful book and if you are lucky enough to have the audio narrated by Mr. Salzman than you are really in for a treat as he seems to transform you right into the story where you can watch it all happen right up front, Mr. Salzman and Mr. Evans make a awesome team and I am glad they have teamed up in this series, it make for a great experience for us the reader/listener.
