    What made the experience of listening to The Forgotten the most enjoyable?

    This is a slower paced book by Baldacci. The story was interesting, enjoyable, and had some fun plot twists...but its pace was slow and the story didn't really hit its stride until late in the book.

    A thick lawn, running water, and a tree to sit under. That's close to heaven!

    "Not as good as usual"

    Perhaps this deserves more than two stars for the story but --well, it's just a little over the top. I think the author got a little carried away. Even so, it was fun to listen to.

    I'll buy a David Baldacci book without listening to the sample. The Forgotten was enjoyable and I had difficulty putting it down. If you enjoy Baldacci, you'll enjoy this story as well.

    Story
    "Solid Baldacci"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes... Why? It is another great story by Baldacci.


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

    The plot was pretty straightforward with only a few twists. It was the action that moved the story forward.


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

    These two are so good that to pick a favorite is impossible they were all good.


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

    No


    Any additional comments?

    A great book, a great story and great performances by McLarty and Cassidy!! The only thing that disturbed me and maybe it is just me, were the "sound effects" edited in to the narration. A goodly portion of the first chapter is immersed in some funky, quasi music (?) and then throughout there are annoying sound effects at the end of some chapters and even during the chapters. They were not bad enough to degrade the performance, again which was exceptional, but it was unnecessary. NOTE TO PRODUCER: Stop it already.

    Story
    "McLarty and Cassidy shine"

    I am a big fan of Baldacci, and McLarty and Cassidy add great voices to this latest John Puller book. Puller is a typical Baldacci hero; strong, unbreakable, agile, smart and all-powerful. He is no nonsense and quick on his feet. Cassidy has plenty to do in this book, with two main female characters, both of whom are a match for John Puller. The story is action packed, complete with interesting and varied characters, and I am happy to plug in a Baldacci book and go along for the ride.

    What made the experience of listening to The Forgotten the most enjoyable?

    This is a great follow up to Zero Day. It will start fast and take you on a roller coaster ride with lots of curves and screams.
