Juliet Marillier is my favorite author. I own all of her books and I respect her immensely. I felt like this book just didn't do her justice. I understand its an expanded short story, but it felt kind of disjointed and I think that it needed more time to sizzle. Some of the things that occurred seemed to happen out of nowhere.

This book is, by far, the best in the series so far. Holy crap. The ending was so good.

I started this book after hearing a lot of hype about Brandon Sanderson in the Wheel of Time community. I already know the narrators and I have appreciated them on the Wheel of Time series. So, I figured it had to be mostly decent and I needed a break from The Wheel of Time series anyway. I didn't want to burn out.

At first, the story was slow. I couldn't figure out the connections between all the stories and I was easily annoyed by the narrators pronouncing names differently.

But wow, once you get past the character/world building mundaneness, the story really takes off. The characters are loveable and I find myself very loyal to them. The climax was intense. I'm excited to listen to the rest of the series.

So my suggestion to you, push past the boring parts because the last 9 hours (or so) are worth it.

This book was recommended to me by friend and coworker. It has a "Harry Potter" kind of feel to it, but a little more grown up. There is some really great humor that actually made me laugh out loud.

If I had to describe this book to someone, I would say that it's about a powerful kid who is too cocky for his own good and puts himself into some sticky situations while trying to find out more information about the murder of his parents.

Initially, I wasn't excited about Nick Podehl as the narrator of this novel. I'm in the middle of listening to The Wheel of Time and I have certain voice expectations of my high-fantasy, however, after the first couple chapters, I was fully sold with the narration. Podehl did a great job.

I enjoyed my time listening to this book. The storyline seems pretty straightforward as you go along. There’s some twists, but they’re not very shocking, almost anticipated. The narration is well done for the character they’re portraying, however, when they try to do each other’s voices, it’s pretty silly. Overall, a good listen.

Terrifying - In The Classic Sense

Revisado: 11-13-17

Classic horror novels always make me laugh a little because I'm entirely desensitized to this kind of a "terror". However, I can always appreciate how a novel would have been received when it was first published, and let me tell you... Dracula probably scared the knickers off of a lot of people.

First thing you should know is that the cast and narration are amazing. So many big names: Alan Cumming, Tim Curry, and Simon Vance? Come on, how great is that? At the same time though, I lost track of which character was speaking at times. Since everything is done in first person, you have to work by process of elimination.

Overall, I enjoyed listening to this novel. The narration was fantastic and the story is classic. Don't expect to be scared, but do expect to be entertained.

I don't know. I guess I didn't hate my time listening to this novel. I can't imagine ever recommending it to someone else to read/listen to.

It's sad and heartfelt but also predictable and uneventful. This may make a great short Facebook video.

The narrator was pretty decent, although a lot of the book is monotonous.

My mom recommends books to me all the time. It’s not that I don’t trust her judgement, it’s that she’s a little bit more of a hippie than I am. So I’m normally hesitant to listen to her suggestions.

I’m glad I went against that impulse this time. This book is short, but full of inspiring ideas about creativity and how to welcome it into your life.

I was also happy that the author didn’t butcher the narration; which seems to happen whenever an author narrates their own book.

I’ve already suggested this book to an artistic friend.

So, sure... there was action in the other novels... but it really takes shape in this aptly named book. There is a lot of conflict; both internal and external. This has to have been my favorite book in the series to date. On to the next one!

I've always been intrigued by serial killers and this book has no shortage of them. It's a healthy mix of serial killers and normal day-to-day FBI jazz. I found it extremely interesting and it kept my attention the whole way through.

And now... it's a show on Netflix! Yay! Mind Hunter is based on this book.
