    "A little too much of unrealistic facts"

    An otherwise great story struggles with the need to go over the top with impossible physics, and with too much emotional burden on a father that loses his never met child.

    "I couldn't buy into the story."

    I had a hard time believing the narrator was over 25years old. Never heard of pars course....that was interesting. I can see people doing this. The technology part was not believable to me...Robin Cook writes about things like this and I feel it could be true, but not in this story.

    "Thrilling to the end!"

    I heard about this book on NPR and it sounded good. I was excited to see it available on Audible! I just finished the book and it was thrilling to the end. Great story of international (mostly European) intrigue. The book is written from the viewpoint of Sam, who had seen his wife abducted and thereby looks like a traitor to his employer (CIA). Sam tries to find his wife and winds up in a plot line with not just kidnapping, but weapons, trafficking, more kidnapping, and the list goes on. Very well written and enjoyable to read.
    The narrator does an absolutely wonderful job with many languages and dialects. Exceptionally well done, in my opinion.
    I recommended this book to several folks before I finished it and recommend it highly to anyone who enjoys a strong plot, good story-telling and, for Audible folks - fun dialects as well.

    "Fantastic!"
    Would you consider the audio edition of Adrenaline to be better than the print version?

    Yes.


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    From the very beginning until the end, this was a wild ride that never slowed down.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    The first chapter drew me in to the runaway plot line and I couldn't stop until the conclusion.


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

    Yes.


    Any additional comments?

    Great thriller. The sequel just was released and I can't wait to get it.

    "Entertaining -- like a decent "made for TV movie""

    The audio book was entertaining and engaging. It kept my interest -- and I never felt like it was time to turn it off. But, the story was a bit of a cliche -- and unbelievable at times. In summary... it was a like watching a decent "made for TV movie of the week". Entertaining.. but not literary. Narrator did a fine job.
