obligatory...

Revisado: 08-30-21

....as a Pendergast fan. Story-meh. The 'hook' that leads to next book-OK/promising(ish). When Rene A. died, I knew that perfect Pendergast voice, as well as his interpretation of all the characters, was over. The Constance 'old woman' voice interpretation was the hardest to listen to, but I can't imagine it is easy to voice act a beloved group of characters that fans already have a set idea of. Maybe the most recent storyline can be used as a way to kind of mentally let go of the Rene vibe, as it were. Some sort of hidden/subtle/mysterious event/scenario where Pendergast is effected or changed in some way so all us diehard fans can acknowledge and make sense of the "change".

Pretty Good

Revisado: 01-27-21

Pretty good. I am a fan of the Pendergast series, so am obliged. The Nora series is OK, The brief Pendergast appearance at the end seems kid of lame and forced in both editions. I know all the fans of the Pendergast series, like me, are sad about the loss of Rene Auberjonois but this narrator's interpretation makes me think they were told nothing about his character.......just a peek at the wiki page: "raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Pendergast retains his Southern manners and mellifluous Deep Southern accent." Why is it read as 'pompus britsh dude'?

I am!

Practical and funny advice anyone could easily apply to their life. My hope has always been to fake-it-to-make-it AND coast. I feel I'm going to be able to call on many of these useful techniques to bring this plan to fruition. (to be read with an escalating level of intensity/insanity)

Is rivetless a word?

Revisado: 09-20-20

After I read all the 'edge of my seat' type reviews I got the series. I'm calling it quits at 5 hours into it and I'm super sad I wasted three credits.

My total listening time is 1 month, 9 days, 16hrs and 53 minutes...... this is the only book I've ever aborted and written off.

OK

Revisado: 02-15-20

It is not as interesting and clever as some of the other novels in the series, but it was pretty good. I, of course, repeatedly thought of how I miss Rene as Pendergast, but J.Mays did a good job with his interpretation.

Pendergast adjacent

Revisado: 02-15-20

This was a nice between Pendergast novels filler. It was an interesting story with good characters. BUT-what was with the narrator's interpretation of Pendergast in the cameo? I can't imagine she knew anything about Pendergast to whip out that Boss Hog southern accent.

Fifty shades of Deadly Fear

Revisado: 10-13-13

Any additional comments?

The thriller aspect of the book was good-nice plot. It really should be categorized as a romantic/erotic thriller. The amount of sex was kind of silly and comprised 50% of the narrative. I found the numerous descriptors of male genitalia entertaining, especially compared to the fact only one was used for it's female counterpart(her "sex").
And really....erotic thriller? To each their own I guess.

Any additional comments?

Interesting take on time travel. Good story. I can see how people think the end is rushed, but the resolution is sufficient. Very long, but I enjoyed it.
