"All right, all ready"

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

It just went on and on. It was just slow...

Would you ever listen to anything by Keith Lee Johnson again?

I would hope so. Faster paced please.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Beresford Bennett?

No.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

It started out well and the characters were interesting.

Any additional comments?

Good luck, I am looking for another good read; hope it's yours.

Narrator smacking

I'm not sure but I sounded as I'd the narrator was drinking water and smacking. It was so distracting. And why the graphic sex? Can we suggest it instead of going into detail?

If you want porn this is your kind of book

The narrators did a good job for such a x rated book. I think the story could have been good but there was so much explicit sex that much of I had to fast forward through because it bored me or I had to laugh because it was so stupidly explained. It was a waste of what could have been a good story line.

little porn lost

little porn lost is a more appropriate title for this book, the author seems much more interested in having the reader purchase the follow-up book than anything thing else.
the story itself held my attention, with the ending being an insult to my intelligence, I rated it 4 stars as a mistake, perhaps 2-3 stars would have been more appropriate

No Thank you !

I dislike most of this book ... The Narrator was not good . The characters were not good . I did not like anything about this book . I listen in hopes, it would get better because the story had potential... it never did.

Little Black Girl Lost

Awful. Really the entire book amounted to graphic child pornography. I would like to delete it from my audible library. I have deleted it from ITunes library and my ipod.

Step it up

I felt this book had a decent story line that with effort could have been a good read. Most of the plot was unrealistic to me, characters superficial and the books value was diminished with uneccessary sex scenes. I think the author should "step it up" on all levels of this one. My advice is to skip this one.
