Unabridged Audiobook
It takes quite awhile to even begin to get going. chapter 22 is where you may begin to enjoy the book. If I figured out if I could and how I could return this book before I reached chapter 22 I would have stopped listening and returned it. Unfortunately the narrators are the worst part of this audiobook. The woman sounds too glib and I don't know annoying. The so called Killer sounds like a cross between the actor Nathan Lane and a homicidal Frasier Crane. I am not a homophobe but unless Patterson wanted the killer to be a flamboyant gay man, the wrong voice actor was chosen. Personally I'd rather of had one main narrator who didn't try to affect too much of any type of personality. I have no idea how they choose the narrators but they should really try harder. My criticism of the narration is not the only thing I have a problem with. The writing in the majority of the first 21 chapters is mediocre and somewhat ham-handed!! If you can wait it out it gets better. It is a cool enough concept and hopefully that is enough!
Like other reviews of this book, it starts very slow and you must stick with it thru several chapters.
I am 2 hours into the book and it's boring. I feel like nothing has happened. I wouldn't waist a credit on it if I were you. The ending might be good but I feel like I'm waisting my time with the beginning.
My parents were listening to this on a recent road trip. Normally I just tune out their audiobooks, but this one got my attention. Firstly, b/c I found the protagonist annoying haha (as others have said). But even though she was pretty annoying throughout, at least she was consistent, so I just learned to think "that's just her personality." For the content of the story, I thought it was interesting and grabs your attention. There were some plot holes, but nothing too glaring. It kept me guessing throughout most. I agree with others though that the gruesome details were not necessary. I just tuned out during those segments. I wish they'd explained better the ending. It needed at least 1 or 2 more chapters. As for the audiobook quality, I thought the production value was good. Some say the music is too loud, but I didn't notice it. The voice actors did a great job. Something about the voice acting gave away the ending too early though. Anyways, I found the Graham session part the most interesting. I think if the protagonist had been more likable, I would've liked those segments as well. Overall though, it was entertaining, and that's what a book's all about anyway, right?
great book. really enjoyed gram sessions
Great book! Starts off slow but a book like this HAS to... to build up the characters’ and get a feel for them and how they think. The ending had a great twist and I’m on to the second book!!!
Great! Really enjoyed it and great twist at the end!
Great story as Patterson and Ellis always give, Suspense right to the end.
Always admired reading JP books, this is definitely not a disappointment.
Best book so far! Couldn't stop reading! Bravo!!!!!
Can't stop listening . Keeps you entertained for hours.
Sad to have it end looking forward to Pattersons next
James has out done himself! This was suspense to the end and the killer narrations gave me chills.
Very good and well narrated . Keeps you listening hoping it will last longer.
