The Neighborhood

This was offered as a monthly special so I wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was kept on my toes. The concept was unusual, and the story was well written. The narrator was easy to understand and engaging I loved it!

Well written good descriptions, creates a good picture in your mind.

Between the words that the Author wrote, and the ability of the Narrator to breathe life into the words, the Reader can see and hear and smell this story with vivid clarity! It was engaging and fast paced, from the very start! Highly recommend!

What a fantastic book, starts of with a bang and didn't ever seen to stop! I absolutely loved the narrating as well, perfect voice for this story. I want more!!!

This book would make an exciting movie, with lots of action and good and bad guys. The reason for 4 stars is because the main plot is predictable. The background story of the main character would have made a much more interesting main plot.

I’m surprise that this book had good reviews. The majority of it is pop-culture references and brand name calling, it’s trying way too hard. I don’t need to know what brand of sweatshirt somebody is wearing. It’s cheesy and I can’t get past the first hour.

Excellent read- unique theme

WOW...just finished reading this story. I was blown away. The book is so intelligently written, I have never read this author, but I love the way he tells a story. The narration was prefect, it draws you in and allows you to feel the story. Highly recommend!

Probably the worst book I’ve ever come across. Every other description includes a brand name, and characters are cartoonish at best. Narrator is easy to listen to, but I wish I had stopped listening after the first few minutes. A simply awful book.

Clever story although normally not my genre. Excellent reader. How these voice actors do all those characters accents & gender etc. so effectively I'll never know. But I found the writing a bit tedious at times, and with overuse of adjectives. The author certainly knows his weaponology though.

Ti found it really boring!

The pace of the book was good. The characters were likable. The narrator did a great job of expressing the sarcastic comments. It was a serious book but it made me laugh sometimes. I highly recommend it to anybody who likes this kind of story.

Excellent for folks who like a lot of fighting, bombing, CIA stuff. I am not really into this but I greatly enjoyed most of the book! Really!

Great story with great narration. Really enjoyed it.

The story flowed seamlessly, each chapter propelling the plot forward. The narrator's vivid descriptions brought the characters to life, making them feel real and relatable. It was an engaging and thoroughly enjoyable read, captivating from start to finish.

This was a VIP free book selection and it was a very good choice. I really enjoyed the story and I will definitely try another work by this author.

It certainly is “Die Hard in a gated community” & would make an excellent fast action film. The relentless action is interspersed with flashbacks to Zack’s CIA career giving insights into his character. A highly enjoyable story, the first I’ve read of this author’s work & I will look out for more. The narrator was very good too.

This was not the greatest read from my perspective. For me it was too "Rambo"-like.

At first I found the book confusing but I was soon drawn into the story. The narrator has a wonderful voice and I will be looking for other books he has done.

Great story that moves along at a very good pace. First story I've listened to by this author. Will definitely seek out more.

good storyline narrator was easy to listen to

So bland and boring, no tension or build up. Bad guys come good guy walks all over them without a single worry or concern. The unbearable and imaginary description of any person that’s part of the military or cia as a superhero, infallible and experts in anything, with an absolute desire to do ‘good’ ( besides some bad apples but they too are just over the top superhumans). The protagonist is constantly praised and never in any danger and makes you realise what good storytelling is and what isn’t! Embarrassing to compare this to die hard lol

This book was just ok for me

Good listen! Good story and excellent narration.

I loved this book. It's action-packed and entertaining. I highly recommend it.

Great story and narration.

This was my VIP book for the month and I was very pleased . Often I am not impressed but the story was good as was the narration. It offered lots of interesting details and action.

Great story! Couldn’t stop listening!

Loved this book! The characters, the action; didn’t want to stop listening! The narrator did a wonderful job as well!!

this was fast moving and not predictable

Highly recommend! I wasn’t sure about the book, but super glad I gave it the chance it deserves.

Great book. kept you interested through entire book.

Loved the story, snd reader was awesome!!

I’m his is a very good book! I like that he’s a normal family man with a loving family, and not some angst-ridden, troubled soul looking for redemption. This story unfolds at a fast pace, believable with a satisfactory ending. Might there be a new series in the works? I follow Jack Reacher, James Reese, Joe Pickett, Jake Brigance, and others. I’ll find time for Zach if he has more to his story!

great book !

chapter6 repeats then the narration muffles

Excellent thrill ride. Loved all the details
