    "Good Entertainment"

    When a book holds your interest by getting you to avoid attending to other pressing issues, you have to give credit to the writer. It's not a literary work for the ages. It's like attending a movie you found enjoyable.

    "The sound effects suck."
    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    No stupid sound effects, there should be a warning label. Why do you need a woman to do the women's voice. I would have preferred a woman reading the entire book rather than having a women's voice pop up out of nowhere. It's not a movie or even a radio show. It's one person reading a book out loud as best they can. Made it very hard to loose myself in the story.

    "One of Baldacci"s Best"
    What did you love best about The Forgotten?

    This was an excellent read and follow-up to the first Puller book. If you like Baldacci, you'll really like this book.

    It is a pleasure to see that at least this Tier 1 author continues to write his own novels rather than get others to do them under his name and just editing their basic work.


    Which character – as performed by Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy – was your favorite?

    Mecko


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

    Yes.

    Story
    "Skip it unless ...."
    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    Unless you're a Baldacci fan, skip this one. The story is predictable, the characters right off the shelf of action stories. Not much original. Read a David Baldacci that I liked a long time ago. Tried him again and swore off. Then I made the mistake of looking at the four star rating while looking for a page turner. Very disappointed. Looking for action? Try Lee Child's stuff.


    Has The Forgotten turned you off from other books in this genre?

    Turned me off from David Baldacci.


    Which character – as performed by Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy – was your favorite?

    McLarty was good. The story had to rely on sound effects to enhance it. Didn't help, though.


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    Disappointment.

    Story
    "Let us not be "Forgotten""
    Where does The Forgotten rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Baldacci has another great book on his hands... it is a great pleasure reading an action packed book without being filled with foul language and sexual exploits! Only a talented writer can accomplish that and they are fewer and fewer of these types of writers.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Puller was my favorite character because he didn't go with the flow, and he respected his elders.


    What does Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Character!


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

    It was... but because of a busy lifestyle I was not able to do so.


    Any additional comments?

    Well worth the listen!
