Entertaining but Confusing AF

Revisado: 04-09-25

I don’t know if it’ll be better in book form but it was difficult to keep track of this story setting. Rather confusing. I’m a huge fan of this series so I still enjoyed it though.

Graphic description of SA/Rape

Revisado: 08-05-24

Not like his other work but I love his writing so I stuck with it. I got to a graphic SA/rape scene involving pre-teen children and had to stop. Not only was it graphic, the narrator even went as far as to moan/grunt/etc as the rapist as well as speak like children for the boys involved which was disturbing. Had to pass. I know this stuff exists - this isn’t a “head in the sand” reaction. I read/listen to books for enjoyment and this was not enjoyable at all.

Wandering and pointless

Revisado: 05-28-24

The narrator is awful - the valley girl accent of the antagonist was too much for me. I got halfway through and couldn’t stand the exhausted stereotypes along with that accent anymore. It’s aggressively trying to be an anthem for feminism or something about women banding together but it tries too hard. Had high hopes from the beginning. Thoroughly disappointed.

Probably a better read than listen

Revisado: 10-21-23

The narrator’s vocal fry and intonation was distracting and off putting. Felt like I was listening to a very dry news story. Made it difficult to connect emotionally with the characters or to feel drawn into the story. Otherwise, the plot was okay, not what I expected. I liked certain elements.

Very entertaining

Great cast. I love dramatizations and this one was put together nicely. Entertaining, good plot and decent acting. Quick and easy to follow. I listened to it while driving long distance. Highly recommend.

Well done - Informative - Entertaining

Revisado: 09-10-23

I really enjoyed this. A lot of cool details about Agatha Christie and some true crime from the UK. Well researched and formatted in an easy to follow manner. Highly recommend if you like true crime, detective authors, and anything Christie.

Well written but too fantastic

Revisado: 08-02-23

The story and characters are well done but the overall plot is absurd. I rolled my eyes so much listening to this. Very cliche and over-the-top. Annoyed me more than anything. Regret wasting the time on it.

Very uninspired and lackluster

Revisado: 06-01-23

This story leaves much to be desired. Predictable and rather boring. The romance felt very two dimensional and forced. Highly regret wasting the time on this. Assumed it would be more entertaining since they made a movie of it. Disappointed overall.

Great listen

Revisado: 02-20-23

McConaughey has an incredible voice for storytelling but hearing him tell his own story was next level. It gives intimate insight into his thinking and the more vulnerable parts of his life from adolescence to the man we know him to be today. I found myself laughing at times but mostly I took away the heartfelt sincerity of his words. He shares a lot of genuine advice as though from an old friend, versus a celebrity I have never known the acquaintance of. His successes, failures, fuckups, joys, and heartbreaks are all in here. Hearing these words from anyone else would have felt shallow and deceptive. I highly recommend as it is a great listen, great story, and endearing novel. Thank you, Matthew, for sharing this with us.
