Reseñas de la Crítica

"Holter Graham's use of a wide range of voices and emotions can't help but draw listeners in from the very first words. There's a sense of doom and foreboding, of expectation and terror as we try to distinguish the heroes from the villains, with the true motivations of all not revealed until the end." (AudioFile)

lots of characters

lots of characters.... you might need a map. or do like I do.... listen to it a second time

Power

It shows just how a lot of power can change a person life not always for the best

warning- n-word used multiple times

DID NOT like the use of the n-word!!! thought it unnecessary but this one was surprisingly good and layered.

Drawn out story

The story is too drawn out and way too hard to follow in my opinion. It was just not interesting enough. It got boring and I just couldn’t finish it.

Could. To get into

I tried but it just was not holding my interest. Narrator was very good but story line or something we missing for me

good job writing this book

this book was very easy to listen to. had great punchlines all throughout and especially at the end very well written

confusing

there are so many characters and stories I found it difficult to keep them straight.

amazing

wow, what an imagination. this author has...
kept me interested for sure. good job stephen

Wanted it to keep going

Kept me guessing, and I like that! The narrator was excellent with a clear, easy to understand voice. The different voices he used worked well, and made sense. The story was intriguing and interesting, especially since now we have had an African American president.

Entertaining

I enjoyed listening to this story, though it has so many characters and took really long to connect them. I'm looking forward to the next book, the successor to see where it goes from here.

As for the narrator, he was good, but sometimes he didn't give proper distinction to the characters, so they sounded similar to other characters.
Overall, great story!
