    "Always the Greatest!"
    If you could sum up The Forgotten in three words, what would they be?

    Outstanding Action Serial


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    John Puller - The type of person you can always count on. He knows how to work with all the rules, and how to use them most effectively for the greatest good for all.


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

    John Puller followed closely by the General!


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    No extreme reaction except I kept looking for excuses to get into my car so I could listen to more of the story.


    Any additional comments?

    Baldacci is a most spectacular and accomplished writer. His work is perfection in audible books.

    Would you listen to The Forgotten again? Why?

    Kudos to David Baldacci, his books get better and better. Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy make a great team. I have read all of Baldacci's books and they seem to get better with time.


    Have you listened to any of Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I like the familiarity of having the same readers for each book within a series.


    Any additional comments?

    "Another good Baldacci read"

    The premise of this book is a serious problem that has gotten nearly no widespread media coverage. Having it put in a novel of this quality will at least get those who follow Baldacci informed and perhaps that can make all of us more aware.

    It was frightening to hear the thought that there was no problem getting more of this "product" as there would always be a glut of the poor.

    Aside from that, this was a well written book with a plot that kept me wanting to continue reading.

    The Story and plot lines


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    I'm starting to like the Female General


    What about Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s performance did you like?

    They played off each other, Orlagh used the same voice as the WV story, she should consider changing it a little


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    No, but as usual a great story line from Baldacci

    "What happened to a good story?"
    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    This book started out as a teriffic book in part one. When part two rolled around it introduced useless characters who brought such an unrealistic story line I wanted to stop listening. I like the main character but Baldacci needs to work on a more believeable plot for him.


    What could David Baldacci have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    Cut the One Star General character. That story line is totally unbelieveable. No one with one minute of Military Service would believe this story line. This character along with the Columbian police lady totally ruined the story for me. Puller should be investigating military crimes not civilian crimes where he has no jurisdiction.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Puller rescue of the girl and her brothers from the 4 attackers.


    Was The Forgotten worth the listening time?

    Only the first half. Had I not invested so much time I would have stopped listening after the introduction of the General into the story. What a farce!

    "Orlagh Cassidy"
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    The book was great and Ron McLarty is the reason why.

    Orlagh Cassidy SUCKS as a narrator. She takes a great book and makes it a so so book.

    Baldacci uses her in most of his books and she SUCKS in all of them. She makes it a painfull listen.


    What other book might you compare The Forgotten to and why?

    All of the Balacci books are entertainning but Orlagh Cassidy performance make them medicore.


    What three words best describe Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s voice?

    Mc Larty, Great, Orlagh Cassidy,painful


    Do you think The Forgotten needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    no
