This Man - Book One in The This Man Trilogy

He is very tall. His white shirt is casually rolled at the sleeves, but he still wears a black tie, loosely knotted and hanging down the front of a broad chest."

"His dirty blonde hair looks like he's half attempted to get it into some semblance of a style but given up. His eyes are sludgy green, but bright and way too intense, and the stubble covering his square jaw does nothing to conceal the handsome features beneath it. He's lightly tanned and just... Oh God, He's devastating."

Love! Love! Love! this series.

If you could sum up This Man in three words, what would they be?

Crazy Mad God

Who was your favorite character and why?

Both Jesse and Ava - Maybe Jesse just that little bit more. He is so passionate, sexy and just so unrelenting countdowns and all. 3 2 1 0

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

I have seen her in many television programs. This is my first Audio book with her narration and I thought she was bloody brilliant. "MOUTH" Ava ...hahahah....

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

I wish I could have but I never would have that sort of time.

Any additional comments?

I have read this series 3 times before and have been waiting for a long while for its release down here in Australia. I must have missed it when it was first released and found it by accident so I purchased all 3. Jodie is a great author and hopefully her next series will be just as good if not better!. Jesse will always rate in my top 5. <3 <3 <3

No. Best for Insomniacs

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

A better narrator and oh, a better story.

What was most disappointing about Jodi Ellen Malpas’s story?

It was boring. How it goes for 17 hours is completely beyond me as I didn't get past the 8th. I do hope another reviewer who liked this book can tell me what happened at the end.

What character would you cut from This Man?

The Man.

Any additional comments?

I know its different strokes for different folks (pun intended). But this seemed like a poor and very tired persons version of the SOG trilogy.
