"Weak story line."
This is not up to Silva's usual efforts. It's a very contrived and boring story.
"What happened to Scott Brick?"
I usually very much enjoy Scott Brick's reading. He was perfect in The Lion's Game. But for some reason, he greatly slowed down his naration in The Lion to the point that I hardly recognize him. It is very annoying. Because of the reader, I would not listen to this book.
