1st of all - Incredible performance by Edoardo Ballerini! Perfection!!
What a great book! I cannot believe I had never read it. It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. It was equally heartwarming. The end had me crying and holding my chest. SO SO GOOD!! Excuse me while I go binge more Dean Koontz books!

I just finished and I'm in tears. What an absolutely phenomenal book. I'm an emotional mess!! So so so good!!! It kept me interested from start to finish! It's going to be one of those books that stays with me forever. Heard it's being made into a movie and I can't wait!!! 😭 Great performance by Ray Porter.

This book is perfect.

First of all, an absolutely phenomenal performance by Michael C Hall! I left this movie growing up! And I just never got around to reading the book regrettably. I love the fact that I listened to Michael reading it for me!
The story. Man. this book popped up when I googled the question of creepiest books and I immediately put it on my list to read. Wow, definitely way creepier than the movie! And now one of my favorite Stephen King books. Honestly gave me the willies a few times. *SHIVER*

The Locked Door Audiobook By Freida McFadden cover art

I'm glad I didn't pay for this or I'd ask for a refund. I still think I deserve compensation. I'm trying not to be mean but man the narrator was not it. She read it in a monotone, over excited, screechy, high pitched, grating voice. Uuf. I usually love Freida books for their easy reads and entertaining story but I had to read this one on 2.0x speed just to get it over with. You may be better off just reading it in text. Skip the audiobook. Sorry narrator, listen to other Freida books where the narrator gives a low mysterious and suspenseful performance.

I'm not usually into fiction books but I loved this story. Very interesting to learn about sociopathy and Dr. Gagne's life growing up. Very intriguing life! Great memoir!

Amazing story. So intriguing! Kept me interested the entire time. Blake Crouch is up there on my favorite authors! The ending had me literally screaming.

Honestly, the huge majority of it felt like a typical Hallmark movie. City girl meets country boy. I expected a thriller, and it was only somewhat thrilling in the last 30 minutes. at the end, I was just like "oh, OK."

What an absolutely heart wrenching intricate story. The story of the characters friendships over the years. Jude. My god. My heart. I wanted to read a book that destroys me and this one did. 10/10 if you enjoy beautiful albeit gut wrenching stories. Narrator did a phenomenal job too!!!

Penelope deserves better than a lil b*tch Colin

What a frustrating book. Penelope is my favorite character and deserves way better than an immature and abusive Colin. In previous books he was just kinda of the jerky brother but the way he's always treated beautiful Penelope is just abusive. He's controlling and has a horrible temper. He has very few redeeming qualities.
So frustrating as Penelope should be protected at all costs.
A-hole!
