I Am Not a Serial Killer

John Cleaver, Book 1

De: Dan Wells

Narrado por: Kirby Heyborne

Dan Wells's debut audiobook, I Am Not a Serial Killer, is the first installment in a trilogy that will keep you awake and then haunt your dreams.

John Wayne Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it.

He's spent his life doing his best not to live up to his potential.

He's obsessed with serial killers, but really doesn't want to become one. So for his own sake, and the safety of those around him, he lives by rigid rules he's written for himself, practicing normal life as if it were a private religion that could save him from damnation.

Dead bodies are normal to John. He likes them, actually. They don't demand or expect the empathy he's unable to offer. Perhaps that's what gives him the objectivity to recognize that there's something different about the body the police have just found behind the Wash-n-Dry Laundromat - and to appreciate what that difference means.

Now, for the first time, John has to confront a danger outside himself, a threat he can't control, a menace to everything and everyone he would love, if only he could.

"The beauty of the prose, mixed with the depth of characterization, gives the haunting, first-person narrative a human touch. regardless of your age or your genre preferences, you will find this story both profound and enthralling.” (Brandon Sanderson, New York Times best-selling author)

“Brilliant! full of unforgettable characters, creepy thrills, and dangerous twists you won’t see coming.” (Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author)

Not for me, but not awful

I don't know how to review this in a clear way. I liked it well enough, but the main character was unlikeable. I think that was intended, but I can't say I enjoyed the book and I wouldn't read a second one.

There was too much self pity for me.

One of the best books I’ve ever read

It had suspense and was well written I recommend this book to anyone who like a good thriller

very well played

a good book. Worth your time. unlike a lot of books this one is actually interesting

Gripping story

I enjoyed the first person account of the character and the book was very difficult to “put down” once I started.

Scary kid vs scary monsters!

I have read this book several times and even listened to the original audiobook years ago before Kirby took over. He is an amazing narrator, and Dan is an amazing author! Spectacular combo!

exciting and suspenseful

Brilliant story! Fascinating, exciting, suspenseful, and scary. This story kept me on the edge of my seat. The narrator is fantastic!

Fun and Entertaining

I enjoyed the performance and the story held together pretty well. I recommend the listen.

Not what you expect!

Loved the twists and turns in this book. I devoured it in one day! Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Great insight

I think the author did a lot of great research on how a sociopath thinks. This was a great listen and I am interested in the rest of the series.

the kid is so worried about being a bad guy, it proves he's not a bad guy.

i only wish they'd dove deeper into crowly's relationship to Kay, but, loved it.
