Decent story

Revisado: 08-15-21

Not a favorite but no bad either. I think there was some missed opportunity for character development. It really kind of felt like an abridged story.

Perfectly predictable

Revisado: 08-11-18

Entertaining enough but predictable. If you're good at figuring out who the bad guys is, skip this. I had it within the first 4 chapters.

Good but predictable

Great premance, excellent narration. Not as good as I hoped. The story was a little too predictable and PG13 for my taste.

Sweet Surprise

Boobie reads a little too fast and forgets, or ignores, punctuation. Other than that I really enjoyed the story. She shoots straight and pulls back the curtain giving a first hand perspective that is real, and real ain't always pretty.

Wow what a great perspective. The inside of Joe's mind is a fascinating place to be. Creepy and well developed, loved this book.

Would you consider the audio edition of Night Film to be better than the print version?

Good story, get you hooked and holds you there. The ending was lack luster and antic climatic which was a disappointment.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A different book altogether or a more captivating main character..he just came across as shallow and mucky.

Would you ever listen to anything by C. J. Roberts again?

Probably not

Would you be willing to try another one of Emily Durante’s performances?

Nope...too little inflection in her tone and no emotion....flat

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Captive in the Dark?

Not sure, couldn't stay awake or focused long enough to absorb anything I can recall...period

Any additional comments?

Very shallow characters, bland interactions from what I can remember....just seemed tawdry and thin....Mind you I like tawdry but not, what is in my opinion, boring tawdry.

Whittier; can't tell too much but because he is a classically corrupt, twisted, fiendish type of dude.

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Hmm, can't say...a voice

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes and No....sometimes you just need to process what you just heard for a minute....chew on it ((wink))

Any additional comments?

If you like dark, dirty, twisted and taboo this book is sooo for you!
