This is a long boring book.

Revisado: 11-14-24

I bought this book based on a Stephen King review. I won’t make that mistake again. He described it as “pulsating and riveting.” That was a lie. There are long descriptions and conversations that are painful to listen to. There is not one likable character in this book and the way the narrator describes them makes them even worse. My advice is skip this book.

This book was a total waste of time.

Revisado: 09-19-24

A good book starts at the beginning and tells the story to the end. Jumping back and forth in time and from character to character is distracting and frustrating. It makes the story hard to keep up with instead of engaging. I would not listen to another book by Liz Moore.

Way too long.

Revisado: 07-13-24

I’ve never been a big fan of The Gray Man series and Backblast didn’t do much to change my opinion. Mark Greaney takes 18 hours to tell a story that could have been told in 13. And Jay Snyder has the ability to make every character sound the same. After 18 hours I was really tired of listening to him. I’m a big fan of Mitch Rapp and George Guidall and in my opinion the Gray Man books don’t come close to.

Much too long.

This book would have made a great trilogy. I loved the beginning of this book (the first third - the first generation). After listening for 20 hours I started wishing there were three books instead of one. Phillipus’ story could definitely be a stand alone book. That way the reader could take a break from all the tragedy that takes place all through this book. I gave the narrator three stars not because he does a bad job but because by two thirds of the way through I grew tired of listening to him. I also grew tired of all the tragedy, sadness and Phillipus. Again, if this story was told in three books, the reader could choose when they wanted to read the story of the second and third generations. I would not rate this as one of the best novels ever and I definitely would not say it was hard to put down.

I’m relistening to the Mitch Rapp series. I skip the ones no narrated by George Guidall.
I should have skipped this one.
If you can’t get George back l won’t be buying anymore Mitch Rapp audibles.

Don’t waste your time on this book.

There are just too many things wrong with this story to try and detail them.
I’m pretty sure a police officer who was injured and disabled on the job would have disability and health insurance. She would not be dismissed and destitute.
Maddie is likable enough but the bad guys do things that l don’t believe they would do.

A really enjoyable listen.

Revisado: 02-23-22

After a steady diet of Jack Reacher then Mitch Rapp this book was a welcome thriller without all the fights and killings. The character development was spot on and the mystery, although somewhat obvious, was still captivating. My main complaint is that Lindsey and Teresa spend too much time folding their arms across their chests. I thought the performance was excellent.
I definitely recommend Red Widow.

Hard to stay interested in Sourdough

Revisado: 02-02-22

I almost never give up on a book. I almost quit listening to Sourdough a couple of times but I didn’t. When I finished it I was mad at myself for wasting 9 hours of my time. Sourdough spends way too much time on recipes and formulas. It starts out interesting enough but loses it’s way the when two brothers leave town. My wife’s book club read Sourdough and she agreed with me. I don’t know why anyone would recommend this book.

Way better than the bad reviews.

Revisado: 11-04-21

I don’t understand what the listeners who gave this book such bad reviews want or expect. I agree the plot is a tad far fetched. So are the plots of most Mitch Rapp books. Kyle Mills does a great job of extending the legacy of Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp. And let’s face it, George Guidall is Mitch Rapp. No other narrator does Mitch justice. Although there was lots of action in this book there was less killing and more conspiracy and intrigue than other Mitch Rapp books. As with most Mitch Rapp books, I hated to stop listening and looked forward to getting back to it.
