absolute trash!

Revisado: 04-18-24

Bought because I love Block Island, and thought this was set there. Nothing Block Island about it, except useing a few street names. it's trying to be a gothic novel, and failing completely! Couldn't even finish, had no interest, nothing about it worth listening to. Sorry I wasted a few hours in the beginning. A trite, shallow, cliche excuse for a book. Do not waste your time. Nothing worth reading or listening to here.

skip this one

One of Hiaasen's worst. Really enjoy many of his, but this is not one! Didn't even finish, did not care what happened in the story or to any of the characters.

ridiculous conspiracy plot

Revisado: 12-02-23

Stepford Wives 3.0. Never read Koontz before, and never will again. Besides being a crazy plot to destroy society, the story does not finish - no resolution just assumed continuation! Do not waste your time!

way too elementary for me

Revisado: 04-19-22

I expected something more technical. Found this boring and pedantic. learned nothing! I would have returned, but paid only $2.99. Full disclosure, I have a masters in environmental horticulture, so maybe I am not intended audience.

Buy the book and read yourself

Revisado: 04-16-22

Author's reading very amateurish, stumbling, disappointing. Good story, needed professional reader! Neatly returned audible to buy and read the book, because her reading spoils it, but unhappily finished listening.

WAY TOO LONG

Revisado: 08-22-19

Good story, but dragged out about 5 hours too long! Reader made some cringe worthy mistakes; such as " Done Jewin" for Don Juan, more than once!

No Ending!

Revisado: 05-02-19

Good story, interesting characters, but the ending is terrible! It basically ends abruptly, without resolving many character's issues. It sort of ties up the wife's story, but leaves the investigator, one of the first introduced, and a major character totally unfinished, ditto the husband. I would not have listened if I realized it would finish this way.

too much sickening violence

Revisado: 03-22-19

The mystery/story could be OK, although unbelievable that a wife of 18 years doesn't even suspect that her husband is a psychopathic kidnapper, torturer and murderer of young girls. But the real disgusting part is the graphic, oft repeated descriptions of torture and worse that goes on and on and on...my advice is give this one a miss.

Reader much too old for part

Revisado: 05-06-18

I liked the story and the reading was done very well, except that the voice does not go with a 30 year old character! Throughout the story I was bothered by the reader sounding like a middle aged man, when the character is supposed to be young - early 30s.

Tedious and depressing

Revisado: 02-23-18

Returned it after 4 chapters. Perhaps it improved further on, but was dredful, and I couldn't take anymore.
