Very interesting content - droopy narration

Revisado: 03-13-24

I am a very big Kara Swisher fan. She's a great writer, thoughtful, and a firecracker of a person. "Burn Book" has some great insights into the tech industry, beginning with her time at the Washington Post and continuing to her current state as a podcaster and occasional columnist. Unfortunately, she isn't a great narrator of books, including her own book. There's none of the joy, humor, or outrage you hear on her podcasts. Instead, she reads in a sulky monotone much of the time. Where's the real Kara? Inquiring minds want to know.

Too complicated and the subject matter was tough

Revisado: 10-25-23

I've read all seven of the Cormoran Strike novels. While better than the last one, the subject matter in this book was especially dark. There wasn't much in the way of a breather all the way through, and the book is over 34 hours long. My overall reaction: Too many characters, a very dark plot, very long, and not one bit of comic relief anywhere in the book. Maybe for the next book, "Robert Galbraith" might consider writing something that's a bit lighter and shorter (20 hours?) with just a bit of fun built in.

Week story and overwrought

I’d like to call a booth wears books except for this one. Everything was a catharsis, and the plot moved. Slowly she can do better.

Not as good as the others

Revisado: 04-07-23

Too much repeat text and dialogue. Also very predictable. The narration by Julia Whelan is fantastic.

Nowhere near Robert Ludlum

The are too many plot holes. There’s too much bad writing. Plus, it’s very predictable.

Absolutely ridiculous

Revisado: 04-12-22

There is no chance that anything that happens in this book of any significance would happen in real life. While it’s entertaining in spots, you also have to suffer through some very bad writing and clunky narration.

This is an incredible experience

Revisado: 12-16-21

I own every Paul Simon album. I like or love all of them, and I’ve read many interviews with and been to many concerts by Paul Simon. Still, I learned so many things from this audiobook. Paul was dialed in. Malcolm and his partner did a great job of maximizing what I learned. And, if you thought Paul Simon was retiring, well, apparently not. There is more to come.

Too long - weak writing - wandering story line

Revisado: 12-09-21

The premise of "Never" is good - a warning about the road to Armageddon. The execution is weak. Some storylines are unnecessary.. Follett's writing is lazy and contains many cliches and a lot of repetition. Some of the characters are well developed; others are cartoonish even though their roles are important. At 10 hours, this book might have been worth it. At 22 hours, I couldn't wait for it to end. On a positive note, as always, January LeVoy is fantastic as the narrator.
