best wishes for retirement

Revisado: 11-19-18

I haven't read a lot of the JR series but this book seemed a little slow and hard to stick with but it wasn't a bad book just doesn't live up to all the hype over this series. No offense to Dick Hill but Scott Brick and Jack Reacher are made for each other. I had a hard time picturing Dick Hill's monochromatic voice as Jack Reacher. I have been waiting for a different narrator to listen to the series but I guess I should be careful what I wish for... maybe I'll just read them the old fashion way in print.

not sure why

Revisado: 01-28-18

so it was a great book part of a great series. Not sure why some reviews stated no ending just a stoppage of the story. While not the ending I was hoping for (was wishing for a more painful ending) it ended like most of these stories do. I finished this series and it was close to Cornwell's Last kingdom series but too short. Overall nice addition to the genre and if anyone has any suggestions where to go next it would be greatly appreciated

Great opening to a series

Revisado: 05-22-17

Would you consider the audio edition of The Wolf of the North, Book 1 to be better than the print version?

The print version was good but it is always better to listen so you can get subtle nuances that you can miss when reading the print version. I love print but an really learning to love unabridged audio versions lately.

What other book might you compare The Wolf of the North, Book 1 to and why?

I am just getting into this genre and this 1st book rivals Bernard Cornwell's The Last Kingdom. I have listened to the entire series and it was a great series so Mr. Hamilton is off to a great start.

Have you listened to any of Simon Vance’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I listened to The Millennium Series (Lisbeth Salander) by Stieg Larsson, V for Vendetta by Alan Moore, and Daniel Silva's Portrait of a Spy all of which he was great in.

Any additional comments?

Only comment I would make is I beg please, PLEASE don't make the same mistake so many audible authors make and change the narrator. Simon Vance is a phenomenal narrator and now he is the voice of the series. I know it may seem a small thing but it throws the listener, or at least it does me, off when a different narrator is reading the story.

New Narrator

Revisado: 08-29-14

My first of the series and the story was great but as always a poor narrator makes it hard to get through the book. He made everyone sound old and more like they were going to play bingo rather than being involved in a murder mystery.

Narrator lacks excitement

Revisado: 06-09-14

I gave the 3 stars for his past work because I could not get very far in this book because of his narration. I love the way he writes but he really needs to let someone else narrate. His monotone voice puts me to sleep which is not what I am looking for since I listen during my 1.5 hour commute. Maybe this is his plan because now I have to buy the book to start this new series with the hope that he hires a professional narrator. Scott Brick, George Guidall, Steven Weber, Dick Hill, Jay Snyder, or Rob Shapiro just to name a few. But of course this is just one man's opnion

Great story narrator leaves much to be desired

Revisado: 02-25-14

I love this series but Ken Kilban performance made every character, including Rapp, sound for lack of a better term like a shifty weasel. It was actually hard to get through the book but like I said the series is so good I actually bought the book in paperback just to finish it.

Ending

Revisado: 08-08-13

I have to agree with most on this book... the build up was great but the ending was a huge letdown so... oh well love the John Corey character so it did not spoil the series for me.

Just Great

Revisado: 07-30-13

Nelson DeMille and Scott Brick bring to life the sarcastic, quick witted attitude of NYC Det. John Corey. All this combines to make this an entertaining read/listen (I have it both on audible & Kindle) you just can’t put down.

Hard to listen

Revisado: 03-06-13

The narrator made it very hard to get through this book and I am a big Elvis & Joe fan. He sounded way too young to be believable when speaking I'm sure the story would be one of Crais's usual great reads but the story teller is horrible.
