Not a fan of the music

The story was great but the music during the beginning and end of each chapter is horrible

What did you like best about this story?

charactera

What does James Naughton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

he was much better than the previous reader

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Any additional comments?

too much of the book is given to setting what happened in previous books, I would concider at least half the book was a re-hash. the parts that were not a re-hash were vary good

NOT YOUR VINTAGE GRIFFIN

The addition of mood music is distracting and detracts from the flow of the story.

Ruined book

Bad sound effects and over loud music essentially ruined the book! The first W.E.B Griffin book I didn’t enjoy.

Disappointing Abridgement

I thought: "Well, even an abriged WEB is better than none." After listening, I'm not so sure. There are gaping holes in the plot, and I'd like to have found out how the final chapter of the adventure came out.

Also, there were some surprising research errors (like having a character carrying a .357 revolver--I believe this pistol was a creature of the '50s and not a WW II weapon).

The loud music overlaid upon the narration at the beginning of many chapters drove me nuts. I had to turn my car stereo up to "boom box" levels to hear the narration over the music and road noise.

Still . . . It was a W E B Griffin (& Son) novel, and that can't be all bad.
