Buy it if it's on sale.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No. The story was actually quite boring and the ending was as very disappointing.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

You could sleep through it and not miss much.

Would you be willing to try another one of Steven Cooper’s performances?

Probably not: especially if he uses the same narrator.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No

Any additional comments?

The narration sounded so mechanical compared to others. Also, the corny accents were comical. This one's a $5 book at best. Sorry.

Not worth my monthly credit

Revisado: 02-17-14

Would you try another book from Blake Crouch and/or Phil Gigante?

I doubt it.

What was most disappointing about Blake Crouch’s story?

Unless I slept through it, which is entirely possible, there was no story. It starts with people getting killed for no apparent reason, so a family runs. Their trip is painfully long and I learned the Northern Lights don't show in Canada, since that was unaffected.

Have you listened to any of Phil Gigante’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

What character would you cut from Run?

N/A

Any additional comments?

There was a point in the first couple hours that I wanted to kill the good guys because of the constant complaining. Sorry, but this one was painful to get through but my rule is if I buy it, I listen to it.

Quite Possibly the Worst Book I've Ever Purchased!

Revisado: 06-28-13

Would you try another book from Ashley & Jaquavis and/or Cary Hite?

Absolutely not.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Dan Brown

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

It was obnoxious to listen to the entire 10 hours.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Cartel?

The ending was as poorly thought out as one could imagine.

Any additional comments?

I've only purchased 40 books from Audible, but this one was easily the worst. It was a super crappy story line with obnoxious accents for the different characters and lousy/cheesy sound effects. I think the thing that drove me the most nuts was the gratuitous use of the "N" word throughout the book. The book is about Black thugs and couldn't cast a worse shadow on Black people. Unless you like hearing lots of racial epithets and bad stereotypes, you should avoid this one.
