Mixed feelings

This book started out good and the story line was good too. But it went on way to long and described so much that really had no purpose.
That being said, I think if they a had a better narrator, that would have helped the story a lot (I mean A LOT)too.

Poor narration

Great story, excitement from every page. What almost
made me stop listening was the monotone narration. The excitement & suspense was muted by the boring voice of the narrator. No character voice distinction, excitement, fear or enthusiasm ever came thru on the audible version of this heart pounding adventure.

So disappointed.

Tedious story. Why a male reader when the story is told from perspective of a female? Had trouble completing.

Surprised I hung in

More like a fantasy than a plain novel. What next, flying monkeys? Too far fetched that two mds would not recognize rabies. One physician kept asking how you feeling? That is not how a physician thinks. Then as I mentally predicted very happy ending.

loved it!

I enjoyed everything about this book. I couldn't stop listening. Interesting till the end.

Sailing into tedium

Boring, tedious and slow moving. Author kept repeating the same information over and over. Other times gave just plain unnecessary and boring information for lack of anything better to add to the storyline. Narrator used same voice for male and female and there were times at the beginning of the story that I wasn't sure who it was that said what (him or her). Further into the story, he was overly dramatic (sickenly so). I wouldn't recommend the book and had an hour left of it when I'd had enough! Just couldn't stand and could care less about finishing it. I'm asking for my credit back.

Great read!!!

After more than 30 years of marriage, my wife and I finally have agreed on a great read!
Furious kept us both on the edge of our seat. It was both entertaining and exciting! Jeffrey Higgins is a gifted author. I can’t wait till his next book.

Narrator ruins it

female protagonist but horrid male voice. waste of credit. depressing and hard to listen to

Who picked the narrator?

Hated the male narrator. Voice was deep, sometimes low and often hard to understand his voice was so low. Why didn’t they use a woman?

Cujo on a sailboat.

I listened to the entire book despite being uninspired by both the story and the narrator. I found the plot to border on preposterous and the last third of the story (monster chases damsel in close quarters) to be wholly unoriginal.
