The Fort

De: Aric Davis

Narrado por: Nick Podehl

With the boys' new fort finally finished, everything that summer was going great. And then the killer showed up.

During the summer of 1987, from their tree house fort in the woods, neighborhood boys Tim, Scott, and Luke spot a man holding a gun to missing 16-year-old Molly Peterson's back. The problem is, nobody believes their story, not even the police. As search efforts to find Molly dwindle, the boys know that she, and the man with the gun, are nearby - and that they must now find and save Molly themselves. A growing sense of honor and urgency forces the boys to take action - to find Molly, to protect themselves, and to stand guard for the last long days of summer.

A good listen

I enjoyed this book. The narrator did a good job and was easy to listen to. It kept my interest for the whole story.

I enjoyed it. held my interest. I would recommend it to anyone enjoying mysteries.

Great listen

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and looked forward to the listen on my ride in and out of work each day. The narrator did a great job as well.

Non-eventful

From other reviews, I expected more. Some parts of the story was disturbing, which I didn't realize in advance and didn't expect, but overall the story was non-eventful. I'm neutral on this book. I'm not overly fond of it, nor am I'm able to recommend it. I never felt compelled to rush back to complete it; which I do when a book has hooked me. For me, it was only a "filler" book to occupy my long commute to work. The story where every adult (parents and police) accuse the children in the story of fabricating a lie isn't believable. Maybe not improbable, but not truly believable either.

Good but nothing spectacular

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Nothing about this book grabbed me and pulled me in. It was a nice easy read/listen there was nothing wrong with it, but there was nothing outstanding about it either.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Deeper character developement

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Not sure

Do you think The Fort needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, it just did not grab me enough to read a second book.
