Wow They Really Made a Movie Out of this Book!

Revisado: 01-27-22

The only time I write reviews is when a book either knocks my socks off or is so boring I don't want anyone to waste money/credit on, and this was the latter. I got sucked in thinking it must be great if they made a movie out of it and with Tom Hanks, he isn't going to do anything that is not spectacular. Well, this was the most BORING book I have ever listened to. I felt that going in, but thought it must get better based on the above logic. I started using the book as a "filler" when I had very short trips to the store or similar. I finally got near the end and it never got better. I really don't see how this would keep the interest of a movie viewer, maybe the couple tense scenes where they had to fight their way out, and those were pretty mundane by Hollywood standards. I don't get it, but by the ratings, I must have missed something, or I may not be intelligent enough to see a deeper meaning. The narrator has a great voice and reads the story very well, which is why I gave him high regard in the Performance rating.

Best one of the series

Revisado: 07-31-16

I found the Gray Man series interesting but like most books in this genre was worried it would be the "same as the last book" as far as action scenes, etc. to the point where I was not going to purchase Back Blast. However, I'm glad I did purchase it. It was intense and I didn't want to stop listening when arriving to my destinations and having to turn it off. Greaney managed to not just repeat the same scenes with slightly different antics, the plot was more exciting because more was reveled and after numerous books we finally have Gentry face to face with his real enemy.

Unique story and writing

Revisado: 06-22-16

I liked the writing in this book. Kind of a banter type rhythm that was narrated very well. A different kind of "serial killer" story that doesn't start out with killing being the motive as in most other stories but he finds more of a "need" to kill as he tries to play out some predetermined idea of how his life should play out, that always seems to fail him.

Never made it through to the end

Revisado: 06-20-16

I didn't see the movie and thought I would start with the book because it is always better. I could not make to through to the end. Maybe it would get exciting if could have stuck it out longer but I just couldn't. It is rare when I don't listen to the end of a book and I have no interest in the movie at this point either.

Kept us the suspense through all three books

Revisado: 06-20-16

This was interesting plot and it kept my interest through the books. The end seemed a bit abrupt after all that build up. In my opinion you never had enough info through the books to ever be able to figure out the "who dun it" on your own and then at the end it is kind of vomited out quickly after pages of build up. But a good story and not predictable.

Previous books were better

Revisado: 06-20-16

This book just seemed to keep the same pattern going, no real new scenarios or twists and turns to the plot. It just kept droning on in my opinion.

I liked the book

Revisado: 04-27-13

This started out to be another tired, worn out plot of the Billionaire kinky guy seducing the unlikely out of his league woman, where he will teach her his kink world but then falls in love with her and she becomes more than "property" to him... yawn yawn. However, this book has that underlying premise but then gets a little more creative and thickens the plot a bit more, in a somewhat "Hollywood" fashion. If you like the billionaire type books I describe above, and what a little more action and deeper plot lines, than you will enjoy this book.

Good listen for a 3rd in a seriec

Revisado: 04-27-13

If you listened to the books in sequence, I was surprised that this seemed like a "new book" in a way, since the book deviated from the main character Emma Pierce in the first two books to Reid Alexander and a new "co-star" in book 3. I liked how they closed out the first two books in book 3, but it did take a turn from what I expected. Overall I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it and would look forward to another in the series.

GREAT Listen! Finally a romance/erotica book with

Revisado: 04-27-13

I don’t remember which category romance or erotica this book was classified in, however, you get both and much more with this book. I listen to a lot in the combined category and most of the time it’s full of sex scenes, not well written and typically been there read that! This book is truly refreshing and unique since it has a plot, great writing, romance, passion, hot/erotic scenes with “cliff hanging” anticipations. If that is not enough, the author combines many “non vanilla”, taboo and scenarios that are typically seen as “socially deviant” demonstrating a unique and creative mind that breaks the mold for this category of book. After all how many more stories can we tolerate of a “kinky” billionaire that finds the unexpected ordinary woman outside his wealth and kink experience that is going to turn her to his world and ends up falling in love with her… Boring, please stop writing those. I find it interesting that the author describes the editing process of the book Norah is writing in great depth and how the editor is ripping it apart to make it a better book, It seems they put the same effort into providing us with a great book/listen.

Starting book 2 tomorrow.
