Great book , great reading

Love this story and love the delivery by Scott Brick , at this point I just look for books read by him !

Excellent entertainment

I read this book as a hardcover when it originally came out in 1995 and loved it. Now I had the pleasure of revisiting it in its audiobook version and was even more enthralled with it. As always with works by Nelson DeMill a well written novel, and a great reading performance by veteran DeMille narrator Scott Brick.

This is a timeless, classic story of a three-way love affair, a thrilling novel that has aged well over the years. When an Ex-Vietnam vet and recently unemployed Government specialist returns to his rural hometown in the Midwest to meet again with his long-lost love of 25 years ago his mission becomes to rescue her from her abusing husband, who happens to also be the almighty town's sheriff. It may be heavy on stereotyping here and there, but it is a thrill to listen to - a somewhat unsual Nelson DeMille novel, but why should they always follow the same formula? Don't miss it!

Vulgar

I love Nelson DeMille's books but this was so vulgar with language and graphic sex that it may be my last. Too bad audible won't rate books before you buy them.

Just What A Summer Audio Should Be - ENJOYABLE

Would you consider the audio edition of Spencerville to be better than the print version?

I have read several DeMille books but not the written version of Spencerville. The audio version was very good.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Spencerville?

I honestly enjoyed the whole book and didn't have any specific memorable moments.

What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

Scott Brick did a wonderful job reading this book. Very pleasant voice. I would definitely listen to other books read by him.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I absolutely wanted to keep listening to this book. I looked forward to having the opportunity to tune back in every free moment.

Great Listen

Great listen

Not DeMille's best..but very good. A little dark, and sometimes a little long winded but definitely worth the listen.

Best book in my opinion

best book in my opinion i read this book several times in the county jail I loved this book because it reminded me of a lover I once had it brought those beautiful memories back to mind alot I felt as if I almost relived those moments in my mind and with my feelings ive read it several times and made my time pass by fast and i escaped the jail in my mind until ofcourse it was time to put my shoes on and have to discipline someone for breaking the rules in there anyways .and here I am listening to it now again greak book (5out of 5)

Not his best, but still good

Seemed to be longer than it needed to be. The smart guy, Keith, kept getting outsmarted by the stupid guy which didn’t make a lot of sense.

Very good with some nice twists.

At first I thought this was going to be your average boy meets girl, falls in love, breaks up, gets back together. I was right and wrong. This was not average in any sense of the word. Things you knew were going to be in the plot were there, but with so many twists and turns. The author's style and imagination is amazing. I use audio and could not stop listening. The performance was outstanding. Overall, I would give this a six if there was another star available.

Gggg

Hhhhhh jhhhhh hghjjvbnn high ggjj fvbnj Viv f th h Gigi foggy hjjg this fjh hurt

Way tooo looong!

Very good story and premise, but seriously Nelson - you could have accomplished the the same level of hatred for Cliff Baxter in 50% less words. It’s worth the listen, but be prepared for a marathon.

Expertly narrated by one of the best, Scott Brick.
