too many loose ends

Revisado: 07-25-18

this book has an amazing narrative drive and the story is incredible, but at the end I was left very unsatisfied. so many loose ends and plot points that didn't quite fit together. listen for a great plot, but don't try to figure out the twists. you'll be disappointed

Don't start this trilogy until you can listen to the whole thing. then listen to the whole thing. It's wonderful

crazy and amazing

I don't know how Richard Kadrey managed to make the protagonist both lovable and am absolute asshole, but he did. This is an amazing book. A foul-mouthed romp through the seediest side of Los Angeles --with lots of very cool magic.

even better then the first two

Myke Cole weaves a complex set of characters into this futuristic clash between worlds. The exciting plot of his previous books is strengthened by back story that gives depth to a fast-paced battle for the future of humanity.

not nearly as compelling as Speaks the Night Bird

Revisado: 06-30-16

i was so impressed with mccammon's earlier work that i was really excited about this. unfortunately, this book is light on mystery and heavy on overly terrible, predictable bad guy. then it ends at a place that feels like the middle. very disappointed.

Terrible writing. Nonsensical plot.

Revisado: 06-22-16

What would have made The Hypnotist better?

I was following along fine, although I never really got into the plot. The writing is wooden, without heart or feeling. Then one character finds out something he has done is the top story on the news: papers, TV, radio, everything. And literally no one has tried to call him. I thought maybe it was a dream or hypnotism, but it just kept on going and getting more ridiculous, but not in a way that made me think there was anything going on but terrible writing. More nonsensical plot followed, badly written, and I just couldn't listen anymore.

I will go back to a book that I've dropped if something about the plot sticks in my mind, if I keep wondering what happened to one of the characters. But I am not curious about anything in this book.

Has The Hypnotist turned you off from other books in this genre?

There are much better mystery and suspense novels out there. Many other authors do unreal well. This author does not.

Did Mark Bramhall do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

The narrator did an admirable job with these uninteresting characters, who are poorly differentiated by the text.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Confusion. Boredom. Bewilderment. Anger that this terrible book got published and somehow became a bestseller.

glad I didn't give up on it

Revisado: 05-15-16

this book starts out with amazing characters,then gets confused. I almost gave up after an overly stereotypical scene between an overworked divorced mom and her spoiled daughter. however, after a lull, the book returned to great characters. even the mom and daughter are crafted with complexity. now I can't wait to read the rest if the series.

A very entertaining look at architecture

I really enjoyed this book, with its stories of master burglars and their cat-and - mouse game with police. So interesting. And very well told.

Couldn't get interested. Weak performance

Revisado: 04-15-16

The narrator's voice is beautiful, but so soft I couldn't hear it over car noise. I was kind of interested in the main character's story, but them she started giving a biography of T. H. White. I could not be convinced to care. Just quit listening.
