Very good narration

Revisado: 08-25-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Fast paced, lots of things going on, lots of action, but I just didn't really enjoy this, I didn’t enjoy the London part so much, the Africa part was much more interesting and engaging, even though I just couldn't get into Sam’s character, but at least he has a sense of humour, or any of the other characters as it so happens.

Written in first person Sam and his thoughts are your thoughts, which were plentiful. Sure the storyline was a little far fetched, but this is a novel, so it really doesn't matter.

The positive parts to the book was the Africa bit, at least once it got going, it was much more interesting, that is, of course if you can actually get that far, and the ending was ok.

The best part of this is the narrator, he has a very nice voice and does the comedy side of the book very well bringing it to life and that is the reason for the 3 stars rather than less. I might have given up with this book if it hadn't been for the narrator.

This book has earned 3 stars.

Good solid thriller

Revisado: 09-15-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

** spoiler alert ** The fourth in a long series featuring Nick Sullivan, in my opinion is not one of the best of those I have read so far, which are Fallout, The Third Wave and Sniper.
I was loving the Uganda part, even the gruesome parts of it, enjoyed the new addition of Tom, Nick’s brother but I didn’t enjoy so much the rest of the book. I am not saying is is bad, it has the same writing style, the same characters, with some new, which are part of this storyline, there is plenty of action, but I found Annalise to be a little annoying, too much nagging and just getting in the way, so if you can get over that bit the book is another good fast paced thiller with Nick getting up to al sorts of dangerous stuff in Uganda and London.

thoughtful subject

Revisado: 06-09-20

A sad and unforgetting story, I wasn't keen on the subject, or the writing style but these subjects are required to help people understand that still still goes on in a modern world. It was written in such a way that I did enjoy that explanations of the meaning of different words.

full of action

Revisado: 05-17-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Nick is back in this new book. This one starts off with a huge bang. very exciting start.

The book feels so much better written, it is much more complex and more exciting, mixing Nick’s personal and work life all in one. Some moments of emotional drama, excitement, a bit of everything.

I felt that this book improved on the other two I have listened to and reviewed, Fallout and The Third Wave with the writing and research being much better. Although I did find Analise to be a little annoying towards the end, but I did understand her point of view.

A very enjoyable fast paced thriller, looking forward to more of Nick Sullivan.

easy, feel good read

Revisado: 05-11-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This is the continuation of The Retail Therapist. which I read and reviewed recently. Here the author continues with the life of GiGi and Ritchie, nicly flowing writing with some new characters added into the business, lifes ups and downs, and in this case very much up, towards the end of the book of course. Great friendship between Ritchie and GiGi, mum of course getting in the way, thinking she knows best. Nice easy feel good read.

short but fun

Revisado: 05-10-20

I have had the privilege of some really good books lately, another book, another 4 stars. This is a short novella quick read/listen, one of those fun books which you can listen to while doing other stuff around the house. It is too short but then again it is a prequel to Blue and Green Should Never Be Seen, and I listened to these books back to back.

Here we are introduced to Gigi, who loves clothes and we learn how she becomes a retail therapist, her background along with a little of Ritchies. Gigi is actually a really fun character, along with other characters in the book, I specially liked Ritchie.

A light hearted, fun, quick book. You might even laugh out loud on occasion.

Such a great cover!!!! Just love it

more twists and turns

Revisado: 05-09-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

So here is my review for the second book in the series. The Third Water, read the review for the first book here. Nick is back, this follows on nicely from the first. I enjoyed this storyline much better than the first, more of a techonothriller, full of action, nicely fast paced with lots going on, so much so Nick is unstoppable. There are more twists and turns. This storyline could be real in this modern world.

I enjoyed that Analise was back for this book, will she be there in the future??? it was an interesting mix with Analise and Bryony.

fast paced

Revisado: 04-30-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

4 Stars – that is pretty good as far as I aom concerned – This is a great book, why didn’t I give it 5 stars? well, I think it needs to be a super book for 5 stars, but this is great, fast paced, well written, easy to follow (I sometimes do other things while listening to an audiobook and if it is tough to follow, I get lost.)

Full of exciting moments, it gets faster paced as the book evolves. Nick is a very interesting character who we learn about as the book goes on. There are good guys, some really bad guys, some people who just got mixed up in the middle… a bit of everything, including romance, but not enough to put your off if you don’t like romance.

Good ending, nice and satisfying

Very funny

Revisado: 04-20-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Just reading the title had me. There was no need to read the blurb to decide if I wanted to listen and review this book. It is a very easy to read, flowing book, with some so very funny parts, specially if you are listening. Very real life, well most of it.
Life at fifty isn't easy, specially when you have been dumped by your husband for another younger man after so many years of being together. Dating in modern times is so different from way back then
Giggles after giggles in this book, nicely written, well paced and some very interesting and unusual characters.
Thanks Tracie for a chance to review your book.

enjoyable

Revisado: 02-05-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Stunning book, beautifully written, such a different storyline about the war with what happened in the UK rather than the typical warfront or POW camp book. There is plenty of emotion, details of the era and location, friendship, loss, love during the Second World War.
