The Next Chapter

This was a great book!The suspense throughout is nerve wracking.A man is in mourning for his wife and daughter who died in an accident.He is an author and after six months,the publisher wants his book as promised.The next day a horrible surprise is left on the authors porch.It will change his life,as well as others. David J Bell is a wonderful narrator.I was given this book free by the author,narrator,or publisher.

The LAST Chapter... for me.

I listened to about 40% of this one and I can't stay awake. I'm not sure if it's the story or the narration, but I have no more time for this one. The idea behind the story seems like it should be interesting, but...

The narrator's character voices are ok, but the rest of the narration is flat (not exactly monotone, but close). The story might be easier to take if there was more character dialogue.

Unique story, lots of twists and turns

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The Next Chapter is a thriller about Sal Russo, a semo-successful writer who receives an odd request to write the next chapter in a kidnapped victim's life, or she might be killled. The story is well written with relvant secondary characters and good details. I gave the story a 4, though, because the story contained too many plot sections stereotypical of a thriller.

Hard one for me to review

I received this book for free for an honest and unbiased review


So I started this book and it felt like the first half drudged on until the good parts came. When the good parts finally came it was nonstop action which I liked. The narration was ok, kinda bland but ok. I don't know if it was the speed of the narration or just bland. A lot of telling and not a lot of dialogue, and I felt there could have been so much more for this book. I would definitely try another book from this author hoping for better results.

Happy Reading/Listening!!!
