What i know- This was a weak ending.

Revisado: 12-10-15

Gilly Macmillan seems to have the ability to write. I would definitely read another one of her novels in hopes she gains some experience on how to finish. This novel is well structured, but the key element of whodunit lacks any satisfaction. I won't spoil it for you, as i do think its worth the read, but it could have been loads better. The narrators are exceptional. Possibly the best tandem i have heard. All in all, despite the let down, worth the credit. If for nothing else, hearing a Jason Statham sound-alike.

I'M ALIVE..

Revisado: 12-04-15

A story that does not get enough attention is what '438 Days' is. A story of adversity and resilience that will make you feel good to be alive. There is a slight disconnect between the author and the subject and you feel plenty is lost in translation. But envisioning what happened in those 438 days is the real star of the story. "what would i do" and "would i be able to do that" will often pop into your head.George Newbern brilliant as always. Great read and well worth the credit.

Unbelievable...Literally.

Revisado: 10-27-15

Sadly, this book left me angry. Angry that it was building up to a fantastic climax, yet dropped like a 2 tonne stone on my brain. The surprise twist is both unbelievable and less than satisfying. The author does write well, and clearly is versed in legal matters. And George Newbern does a fantastic job as usual. However, neither is enough to make up for the let down it inevitably is.. Not worth the credit.

Armageddon Redux

Revisado: 09-27-15

Fantastic introduction to author's Platt and Truant. Reasonably fast paced and well laid out "Alien Invasion" story. If you liked the movie Armageddon, you will love this book. My only issue with it is that book 2 is not available yet..... Ray Porter does a fantastic job with the narration. Very well done and worth the credit.

Excellent follow-up to Mr.Mercedes

Stephen King can just plain write. Pick a genre, he masters. Worth the credit and looking forward to finale.

Bleh. Hard time finishing.

Revisado: 05-12-15

First, I would like to point out,this is not a stand alone novel. In fact, its 4th in the series. Would have been nice for Audible to indicate this. I have no intention of listening to the others. The book never picked up pace. The narration was ok, but voice didn't seem to suit the characters. In the end, i cannot put my finger on it, but the story just seemed bland....and ridiculous. Not worth the credit.

Good. if you can get by the burping

Revisado: 05-12-15

This is my first Dan Brown novel. Obviously, not his most popular, but that's ok. I was rather impressed at how Dan Brown is able to keep you turning the pages. Not the best story, but still a page turner. He writes it like tv serial that has a cliffhanger every week. It just reaches out and turns the page for you(er. um, hits the play button). On the downside, the audio is disturbing. I recommend having some white noise in your environment whilst listening. Or using the worst headphones you have. The mic picked up everything on this recording. swallowing, lip smacking, even burping. Richard Poe is a very good narrator, but boy, they need to maybe edit this a tad. Overall, a good book and worth the credit.

Good character, bad plot, worse narration

Revisado: 04-23-15

This is my first David Baldacci, and probably would download another of his. The protagonist is an affable savant who we will most likely see many more times. I won't get into the plot, but it goes beyond the need of suspension of disbelief. I will leave it at that. What makes this listen below average is the monotone narration of Ron Mclarty, and the sometimes annoying Orlagh Cassidy( who i normally find very very good). Mclarty is unable to do proper multiple character voices. All this i could tolerate, but the final edit has, what i believe to be Mclarty, interjecting with lines in a completely different voice. As a narrator and not a character. This is just horrendous editing that should never have made it to the final product. Despite the low rating, i would still say its probably worth the credit.....But barely.

Good analysis, but maybe a little far fetched

Revisado: 04-21-15

Errol Morris should have made this a documentary. He admits that he tried, but was turned down. After listening to this, i believe i can see why. Although he did his homework, a lot of the book is rehashing Fatal Vision, and explaining the 'double cross' that was perpetrated by the author. Rightfully so. But in the end, i have a hard time believing his theory based on the credibility of the 'witnesses'. Sadly, i do think this case was botched by the military police, but i do believe the conclusion would inevitably be the same. Regardless, it is still worth the credit.

Decent story, but no closure(not authors fault)

Revisado: 04-21-15

Well written, and researched story. primarily of the victims. But seeing as the LISK has not been apprehended, there is no closure. I didn't expect it going in, but i did expect more. Probably worth the credit.
