Thank you very much to Audible and Jefferson Mays for letting us still “hear” the Pendergast we’ve come to know and love. Jefferson does a fantastic job picking up where the great Rene Auberjonois left off. His accent rarely falters.
The story is also back to the fun and macabre style of true Pendergast novels. And Constance rocks!

We all know that narration can make or break it. Kobna’s narration makes it! He is so authentic you really feel you are there. I don’t get why someone would kvetch about an inhale etc in the narration; that’s what makes it real and believable! Aside from the excellent performance by Kobna, the book itself is very enjoyable. Looking forward to the next in the series.

I really don’t understand what all the hype about. This is not a great work of literature. The prose was about as good as the script for a B-movie. It was downright inane in some sections when Kathryn and Henry were speaking to each other. If you want real literature, listen to Colum McCann, Salman Rushdie, Amitav Gosh or any of the other more recent greats.

Take out the math and it is still a great story. It has humor and emotion we can all relate to. Add the math and you really get to think about the “how”. Great book.

Written by another author, this could just be a very strange story. But Murakami spins a masterful and captivating tale that makes you route for the main characters and leaves you wanting more.

I finished this recently yet can barely remember the ending. Fun while it lasted, but not memorable.

Sometimes Deaver needs to dispense with the minutia of the investigative process and just tell us a good story. This is one of those times. The details of the investigator's personal life were an unnecessary distraction; abridging them would help maintain a more suspenseful story. The CI101 is also far too detailed. It sometimes felt like we left a novel and entered a textbook. The strung out ending just made me want to say "enough". Not one of Deaver's best efforts.

Really makes you think about the many ways that big brother, or in this case the "brethren", are watching. But the story doesn't rely on your paranoia to be very entertaining. Fascinating and fast-paced tale with interesting characters. Can't wait for the sequel.
