The writing!

Revisado: 11-25-23

Love this author! Especially novels that feature Bosh and LL together… and a little uncomfortably allied .

Clear, powerful

Revisado: 11-06-23

This should be read by every American of every age. HCR is a rare treasure, as she tells our story with clarity and compassion

This one's different

Revisado: 07-11-22

Miller is honest. He's also funny, smart, culpable and angry, but most of all he's honest. Why We Did It isn't an effort to belatedly assign nobility and selflessness to perfidy. There are plenty of those books. This one is different. This one is better.

Good first half

Revisado: 08-26-14

I really loved the first half, even the first two thirds of the book. Then it kind of jumped the rails. The magic turned bitter and the story became confused. Maybe I just missed the point. If there was one, but it seemed to me that in the last part the author
was struggling to finish and be done with it.

Superb storytelling

Revisado: 02-19-14

I can't add much to all of the reviews here, except to say a heartfelt thank you to Mr. Johnson and Mr. Guidall for a truly enjoyable experience. I've read many of the Walt Longmire mysteries and have enjoyed them all, but this one was somehow darn near perfect in my opinion.

Engrossing, Unusual, and well written

Revisado: 11-28-12

This was a "wild card" download for me. The title has been languishing in my wish list for some time and the premise looked interesting. I found the story,( which is really a collection of stories woven together), fascinating and frequently very moving. I appreciated the different messages- of tolerance, redemption, human fraility, loyalty, forgiveness but the deeper themes don't detract from an all around good read. If you are looking for something completely different, here's your book.

Aww, Really?

Revisado: 06-01-12

I was flowing along, listening to the story, the jungle, the "mission". The narration was fine. The set up looked promising... Slow, but promising. Then, well, somebody might have snacked on the mushrooms! This just got silly I tried to stay connected with the story and the author. Searching for the "Wonder", I found not much more than: "Huh"?
I don't regret listening to this. I do wish I had that credit back though.

Big Rock Family Saga

Revisado: 05-17-12

I enjoyed this book a lot. For some reson it reminded me of The Great Santini, which I read years ago and loved. I found the precarious balance between the mother and father facinating and all too common. However, It was easy to care about all these people. The story provided an interesting view of another time , and kept me engaged and entertaind for, um, how many hours was that?

hyperbolic criticism?

Revisado: 05-17-12

I'm a Nesbo fan. Have been from the first. I also think Robin Sachs is a great narrator. I am often guided by my fellow listener's reviews, and therefore didn't download Nemesis after reading...."tragic" "worst narrator in all of audible" and a number of equally heated condemnations of Thor Knai"s efforts for many months.
But now, having listened to it, I wonder if these reviews were written by Mr. Sach's kids? Whatever happened to "I prefer Mr. Sach's narration, but Mr. Knai is good also"? I suspect that Knai may have pronounced the unfamiliar words more accurately. But I could deal with that.
I loved the book. The story rules, as always, Mr. Nesbo. You are inventive, suprising and a heck of a lot of fun to listen to.

lackluster

Revisado: 03-05-12

I honestly don't know if I'm just tired of him, or if he's tired of us. I've read nearly all of the AD stories, usually enjoyed them, but Victims seemed unfocused and predictable to me. Rich woman calls about kitty up a tree? Come on! I like these characters but would like them to "grow" a little. Robyn keeps cutting the same piece of Rosewood, Milo eats junk food....I didn't understand the apparent shame at the ending either. Why not gratitude? Guess I'll take a break for a while.
