Excellent!

My favorite narrator did such a good job on this book. She had an exciting story to work with- lots of twists, turns, and suspense. I loved it!

Can’t give this a good review

Revisado: 10-01-22

I love Adam Neville books, usually…but this one was just off. Why an American narrator when the story is set in England. That makes no sense. And for me, it just made it really hard to get into this story. The narrator sets the whole scene for the book, and from the beginning, it was just all wrong. I would love to listen again with a narrator with a British accent. It was very disappointing.

Couldn’t finish

Revisado: 11-18-20

I wish I could say I enjoyed this book, but I couldn’t get past the narrator’s habit of taking enormous, gulping breaths between each paragraph. She spoke so fast, and instead of pausing a little between sentences to take normal breaths, she would wait until the end of a paragraph and then take a huge breath. I listened about an hour. I gave it that much, hoping it would get better but it didn’t, and it got to where I didn’t even know what was going on with the story, because that’s all I could hear. It might not bother someone else, but for me, it was like nails on a chalkboard.

Different

Revisado: 08-17-16

I really enjoyed this book. It was so different than the formulaic mystery/thrillers out there these days. The characters are interesting, frustrating, likable, even lovable at times. And the narrator did an excellent job with the nuances of Patrick's condition. It was an excellent listen.

Oh well...

Revisado: 08-10-16

I had high hopes for this book, but sadly, it did not live up to them. The story was pretty good, but it was a little immature in places, mainly in character development. The narrators were terrible. Their French accents were painful, and they really detracted from the story. I was really disappointed in this one, to my dismay.

Disappointed.

Revisado: 07-27-16

I have listened to other Asa Larsson books and really enjoyed them, but I was really disappointed by this one. The story was interesting, but the narration ruined it for me. The story was obviously translated by a Brit, based on the language and dialect used, but the narrator was about as American as they come, and used an almost southern accent at times for these Scandinavian characters. It sounded ridiculous, and detracted from the typical darkness that this genre usually conveys. I noticed that the narrator is also the producer of this audio book, so I'm assuming she made the decision to narrate herself, and it was not a good one.

Creepy, weird, and really good.

Revisado: 09-25-15

I loved this book. It was very unique. The story was weird and creepy, and like nothing I've ever read before. The narrator was excellent. She added to creep factor of this book. Her voice changes were not forced. They seemed natural, and made the other characters (other than the main character) come to life. I will listen to other books she narrates, and other books by this author.

Difficult to get through.

Revisado: 09-12-15

I was very disappointed in this audio book. I thought the story was interesting, and I wanted to listen, but for me, the narrator was just not right. He is definitely more suited to a period novel. And he was too British sounding. I felt like I was listening to a story taking place in the east end of London. It was very distracting, and made this a difficult listen for me, and I really wanted to like it.

It was just ok.

Revisado: 08-23-15

I was not impressed with the narrator. Her "male voices" were very annoying. The story was pretty contrived, as well. It wasn't bad enough to stop listening, but it wasn't a book that I was excited to get back to. I was happy when it was over.

Ugh.

Revisado: 07-19-15

A colossal waste of time and money. The story line was poor. There were too many things going on that didn't all jive. A ton of linguistic errors that were not part of the nuances of a character. It was just bad.
