Audio Dave

Seriously?

Revisado: 03-10-25

What the heck? I expected so much more from these authors. These short stories sound like something that a second year college creative writing student might produce. Did Stephen King listen to his son's first story before he allowed him to release it? I listened to only one and a half of the stories before I asked to return this audio book. C'mon authors.... I realize that there is a ton of money to be made by taking these old short stories out of the trash and dumping them on your loyal readers, but I think this will not pay off in the long run.

Interesting at first….

Revisado: 03-04-25

Tried to listen, but I gave up and couldn’t struggle through this audio book. I had the feeling that it could have been a pretty good book/Audible book with a few changes. I was happy that I didn’t have to use an Audible credit.

Struggled to finish

Revisado: 10-12-24

This was a fairly good story narrated by my favorite, Scott Brick. I buy almost every book narrated by Scott. The story was interesting at first, but there was so much infighting that I almost stopped half way through. With the fate of the world in the balance, would the people likely able to save the world engage in so many battles about whose in charge and how to proceed? Much too much "Mine is bigger than yours" to suit me. However, I kept listening and enjoyed most of the remainder of the story.

Hurwitz and Brick: Perfect!

Revisado: 07-14-23

This book was actually on sale at Audible. What a bargain! Books written by Gregg Hurwitz and performed by Scott Brick are always a pleasure for me. I usually buy every book that they write and perform, but somehow I had missed this one. What a pleasant surprise it was to find it on Audible's discount page, and then to enjoy it so much.

Love Bosch Audiobooks

This was good, but not the best Bosch…..
I will look forward to more Bosch audiobooks.

Don’t do it!

Joe is capable of so much more. I struggled through 70% of this, and then fast-forwarded through most of the rest. Joe needs to have Stephen review his work.

Way Too Long

Revisado: 09-13-22

Normally, I really enjoy Lee Child’s Jack Reacher audio books. Not this one!
Far too long, but likely to make a 1-1/2 hour TV movie that might be good….. Wish I had stopped around six or seven hours. Too long!!!

Returned This Title

Revisado: 06-23-22

Based on reviews, I thought I would enjoy this audio book quite a bit. Unfortunately, I kept losing interest and/or dosing off while listening, and replaying long segments. I finally returned the audio book when I realized that I would never finish listening. I don't like bashing writers, based on my preferences, but I can't really say much good about the story. The narrator did a respectable job. Please note that I love audio books and usually have trouble pausing at the end of a drive, or for other commitments.

Returned This Title

Revisado: 05-23-22

I purchase all Baldacci books without reading reviews or listening to samples, but I really have to stop doing that. I got through a chapter or two, and just couldn't listen to Brittany Pressley any more. In any fairness, I didn't give the story much of a chance because of the narration. I have been an Audible member for over a decade, and this is only the second book that I have returned. Please listen to the sample before buying.

King and Sparks at Their Best!

Revisado: 03-26-22

I've been reading or listening to Stephen King's books for decades. However, it had been a few years since I listened to one of his books, and I was not familiar with narrator Paul Sparks. In fact, I rarely stray from narrators with whom I am familiar. I have to say that, to me, "Billy Summers" was King at his very best, and Paul Sparks did an excellent job. If you love King's audio books, I think you will enjoy this one very much.
Update: I just read a bunch of the reviews of "Billy Summers". I was amazed at how many people gave the story and the performance really bad reviews because of the references to '45'!! Good grief, guys and girls, this is still America, and Mr. King can have an opinion about '45', just as you can. Please... Get over it.
