"Exciting"
I would recommend This book it was very exciting.
The story line was fantastice the charaters were very realistice and the book brought their human vulnerabilities
I loved the character Benton
Neither
I can't wait to read the next book. I just started reading her books and each one I read I have a new appreaciation for her writing and the characters in the book.
"Quick ending"
Slow start, fast finish. Characters lack development to make them real or at least so we imagine
"Narrater is bit slow, but the story is good"
It was somewhere in the middle. It was a good story, but the narrator and end/beginning of chapters editing drove me nuts! the breathing of the narrator was obnoxious and the chapter would end and you would here a snippet of the next one before they would edit in a (way to long) pause, then start the next chapter. Many times I thought my ipod had turned off.
The suspense and the forensics were interesting and the only thing that got me through this horrible performance. I will probably read the other books in this series rather than listen because of the narrator.
Not if I can help it. It was horrible and they obviously had not done any research into how the names of machines and procedures were said and pronounced. AFIS was not said as a word, but rather constantly spelled out and even just watching one episode of CSI would have told the narrator that it is never said as that way. The breathing and slow reading was really disinteresting and as a result I found myself zoning out instead of listening to the story in my ear.
Yes, Annoyance.
Don't bother with the audio book of this. Read the hard copy or skip this series because of the narrator. I wish I could get my money back for this one.
