Really...?

Revisado: 01-06-20

you are joking right??
Remember how proud you were of your early work before you attained the literary fame you have now? The excitement?

Were you proud and excited sending this one in?

Good Book Bad Book...

Revisado: 10-03-19

I nearly gave up several times on this book when information on the two main characters never continued to evolve with the plot. So their actions often made no sense Although the drama that shaped their character was sketched in just enoug

h to make their inclusion in this story suspenseful, that's as far as it goes. None of the initial questions put forth about who the title
character is- are answered. The remainder of this drama is well written, but doesn't pass the sniff test for a thriller. The side plots are simply dropped to await a sequel.

narrator should read children's books

Revisado: 07-08-19

or tread to people recovering from surgery needing a chipper sweet child's voice. Her inflections and tone are suited better to cartoon characters. I just couldn't get past chapter 2.

I miss you, Lisa Gardner!

Revisado: 05-27-19

I miss the talented author who would never have allowed a lame plot like this to form the basis of one of her books. Listening to this story plod along with it's elementary understanding of technology makes one wonder if her teenager wrote it for English class and Lisa put her name on it.

Hurwitz nailed it!

Revisado: 03-30-18

His protagonist, X, is carefully fleshed out, giving giving the listener moments to see him clearly as human being before he steps back into his survivalism. And he didn't have him do stupid things that are anti common sense! well scripted action scenes were so easy to visualize. Loved it, and sorry it ended.

Speaking Voice Didn't Match Action Scenes

Couldn't get to G. Guidal? Sometimes I dozed through escapes or fights and had to back up.

but for the narrator... trying to sound Basque

Revisado: 06-21-17

the narrator's Le Cagot voice sounded like the voice of that Great Dane cartoon character. Or that of an individual talking with a mouth full of marbles in baby talk. Otherwise a great read.

Stellar!

Revisado: 07-14-16

Most "thrillers" neglect character development in their books, instead substituting detailed descriptions of weapons, repetitive and inane dialogs, gratuitous sex scenes, and other filler. John Hart's characters feel real, and their actions are understandable, if not logical. All the elements of a good thriller, performed so expertly, I was transported into the town and could see it all played out before me. I was sorry it had to end!

A Good Book for Those Tired of The Same Old Plots

Revisado: 04-26-16

This book rates an ok mainly because it didn't follow the tiresome , predictable, and annoying formula that hacks use. Usually they include some trite romance between detectives, FBI agents, or a mix, with some of the most nauseatingly trite and mechanical sex scenes ever written- not to mention the stereotypic hard nosed, but generous lead detective.

This book is refreshing in that the plot spares us of any of that, even though i couldn't empathize with, or care much about the characters.

But the pace was even, and the plot contained a few surprises. All in all, worth the listen.

painfully boring

Revisado: 03-23-16

I promised myself I would find a really good Harlan Coben after this in order to slog thru to the end on this one. It is just too
sweetly read, like one might read to a child in a bit of a monotone. Although, to be fair, the book doesn't give her many exciting moments to share. save your credit, or maybe even revisit a great listen already in your lib.
