Guilty Wives

What is James Patterson thinking?...Is he even reading what this co-author wrote.....Drivel, is a word that comes to mind! I have always been a big fan of Patterson's entertaining, fast paced novels, now I will be more careful. Why do some top authors seem to sell out and release inferior work after the first three or four hits?

I have listened to Guilty wives at least 20 time... January LaVoy was great at reading and depicting the cruel Lucy and Sabin.... her french accent was spot on.... I love how she depicted Abbey as a strong, highly moraled woman trying to keep her sanity together.

Abbie Elliot was my favorite because she was depicted as a strong and clever woman... she never gave up hope and was never bullied. I like Lucy and Sabin as well they were depicted as ugly, corrupt and just plain nasty people. Lynnette depicted as the helpful sweet co-prisoner of Abbey and had helped Abbey through her ordeal while in prison.

This is the first time I have heard January Lavoy and as of right now I am trying to find books that she has performed on. The one reason I love this book was her performance... the way she depicted Abbie's strength; quick wit or quick witted remarks towards the villains was at times hilarious and I found myself clapping and crying at the same time. I hope she reads more for James Patterson ... As a matter of fact i have just finished the 11th Hour by James Patterson and I loved her performance there as well...

There were two events: the death of Lynette and the Wendie as well as when Abbie finally was able to escape prison... I was on pin and needles listening to her when Abbie was on the last gate and the guard asked her about her bandage. (thinking it was the evil Lucy)...

Yes as I have said earlier I hope January LaVoy will read more of the James Patterson books (Women's murder club; etc) because I just love listening to her....

I would highly recommend this book to everyone .... it has drama, sexiness and hopefully they make this into a movie would love how Abbie and Ingersoll have a series like Alex Cross and the Bennett series.

The story was really good. Even though you could guess "who done it" you weren't sure why or how. The narrator's accents were amusing.

I don't want to spoil it with my favorite part.

The voices and accents of the different characters!

Being a mom the children killed me.

I listen to books for amusement when I am driving or getting ready for work. I am busy and don't have a lot of time to read(even though I love to read.) I could not stop listening to this book. Anytime any of my family members heard parts of this book they wanted to know what was happening. It pulled them all in.

Shorten the part between the trial and the escape. Create a new plot. Housewives killing the President of France...seriously?

Ok. So discouraged with the plot didn't pay attention to narrator

Dissappointment

Consistancy would have been nice. It was so all over the place and ridiculous I found myself wishing I could go back to the previous chapter to make sure I was even on the same path as where it seemed to be going.

Absolutely everything about this story was a snore. Too much french, too many choppy chapters and jumping all over to the point where i no longer even cared and stopped listening.

She was great. Excellent french and inflection

Anger at the waste of my credit. This is garbage

save yourself and grab a $0.25 copy at a garage sale

Yes, just to get more of those details, you know?

The prison

Not sure, they were all good.

Well, it made me want to keep on til I was finished.

I wonder if the French are aware of how poorly their justice system is depicted. They should be protesting. The book made me laugh out loud at the incredulity of it all. If you need a good chuckle, waste your money on this excuse of a book.

Everything and anything

The out come is obvious before the first chapter ends. The process of the trial is obvious when the women are being interrigated. I probably will not even finish this books the story is slow boring and no suspense involved. The death of the women in prision is forshadowed to be obvious, the treatment is obvious once we know who was killed. the rest is just so far beneath Patterson that it is hard to put into words.

all the french words Her voice is hard to listen to when she is trying to be a man and when she is speaking french.

none so far. I am on chapter 40 or so and so far nothing has perked my interest or given me a reason to continue other than I paid too much for the book.

I am finding the last several books written with other people are getting harder and harder to listen to or to read. The old Patterson seems to be gone and the new one is not nearly as good and does not live up to expections.

This story was just so absurd and so painfully ridiculous, I couldn't stand listening to it! The characters are just as stupid...sooo unrealistic!

I'm giving up on James Patterson...he's a total sell-out.

Only read this book if you want to be frustrated, bored and depressed!

The narrator did a good job. However, in a word, this book was ridiculous. I had to stop listening after about 2 hours. The plot was ridiculous, the characters were ridiculous. I could go into a lot of detail with examples of its ridiculousness but I've already wasted 2 hours on this book and I don't want to waste anymore. I never miss an Alex Cross novel and am a big fan of those....surely the guy who wrote this must be a different James Patterson.
