I was not one of the first to jump on the Obama wagon, automatically prejudiced by his name and unsure about his religious beliefs (not that I am religious myself), but when it was between him and McCain I started to listen and notice and believe that he would be a great leader and someone who could change the course of history. I downloaded this book around election time to see if there was anything in here to change my mind. The book itself was mediocre - the man is not. I appreciated learning his true background in a book written many years before his presidential campaign, which is quite different from what the McCain/Palin thumpers and those who fear change are trying to sell. It was honest and showed me that this is a real person who has achieved so much in his 40+ years and will go one to achieve so much more. I recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about our current President Elect. What a special time we are living.

The book was so far fetched and went against the grain of belief. The narrator was not very good either. She had two voices, high excitable and monotone. These two did not blend well with the story. Don, who is dying of cancer, always sounds like a young kid about to go to Disneyland. The mad, sad, introspective dialog all sounded this way. Terrible, no wonder it was free. I could only get through half of the book because it was just that bad.

Need something more exciting.

Another narrator, but the story was so bad it might not have helped.

The whole thing went down hill so fast, I would not have published it at all.

Like all the other stories, I love the way Jack Reacher follows his own code. He risks his career in this one and loses, but he stays on his moral ground and solves a mystery that needed solving and executes the punishment.

This story was OK. I did like the references to the dogs, however the narrator was a little difficult to listen to. She has several voices that she used, but a lisp that is a little like nails on a chalk board. It is an OK listen. I am a big fan of Rizolli and Isles, so it is a pity because the same narrator does that series.

The lisp is a bit annoying to listen to for that many hours.

I love the charactors and the plots. Very simple, easy to follow and I like the moral John with his side kick Danny. I also like the setting in a beach town that has tourist seasons and otherwise a quiet small town atmosphere.

Definately. If you like murder mystery but do not like all the gore of some of the crime stories out there. These stories would be appropriate for even a younger audiance (teens) who like mysteries.

This narrator is AWSOME! So many voices, he is easy to follow when he changes charactors - a lot of diversity without any fake sounding (cartoon-like) voices.

About 1/2 way through the book, when they introduced Duncan, I was totally bored out of my wits and wondered why I downloaded this story... so I went back to Audible and read the reviews. Most listeners liked the book and I read about the ending so I decided to stick it out. The book was OK, but a real snore. I was happy that Jade got her revenge at the end, but it was a long and boring trip for the listener to get there...

Probably not

Narrator was good. No complaints.

No

I like action and thriller or detective stories. This book was more of a romance novel - close to a harlequin type story. Not my cup of tea...

The series and characters are interesting and the narrator has a wide range of voices and accents to pull from, however I didn't like that this series is taking place in the future and some of the references are weird. Not much for sci-fi, and a mixture of sci-fi detective was not to my liking.

I loved this series and can't wait for the movies in English to come out! Kept my attention, fast paced, it has everything! The only issue I had with this series is the names were difficult to keep straight. Some sounded very similar to me. Once I got past that, I fell in love! Too bad we won't hear more from Mr. Larsson (RIP).

Read these books in order - it is a serial and you won't be able to follow as well if you did not finish the other books.

From the opening line to the end of the book I was on the edge of my seat!
