13

By: Julie Elizabeth Powell

Narrated by: Don Warrick

Length: 2 hrs and 51 mins

Publisher's Summary

What is found within the depths of the human soul? Does wickedness linger, as if the Devil's thumb is ready to pluck the strings of certain choices? And with the strumming, just how far will Evil spread?

13 is the story of random souls pitted against the tragedy of the modern world. What is their connection, if any? Nameless; are these merely humans whose weaknesses force them to commit heinous crimes, or demons under the skin, aware of their sins yet indifferent to the outcome?

Will they decipher the unknown and make it out alive?

So great I listened to it twice.

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

Yes, I would recommend this book to a to a friend or anyone who loves a great complex woven tale of mystery and murder.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved that it was so detailed and complex all packed into such a short time frame, not an easy thing to do.

Have you listened to any of Don Warrick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've never heard any of his work before but I thought his voice was very fitting for the book.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Mystery and Murder

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book. I was surprised at how detailed and complex the story was. The story was packed with so much in such a short period of time. It was so well written and I enjoyed every part of it. You don't often find short stories to have such great plots as this book does. Usually there's not enough time to fit it all in, in a short read but somehow Julie Elizabeth Powell made it work. A great enjoyable mini read. I felt like you really got to know the characters. When the book was done I came away feeling like it was so good it deserved another read. I did actually reread it this morning in case I had missed something since it was so packed full of stuff and I'm glad I did. I did miss something in the very beginning and the book was good enough for a second read anyway. I'm looking forward to reading more of her books.

Weird!

I'm giving this a 3 because it's not really my thing. I didn't really like the first 13 chapters, especially chapter 6. I pretty much hated chapter 6. I don't enjoy reading sexually violent stories. Now, while chapter 6 wasn't very descriptive about the events, there was enough insinuation to throw me off. The best, and almost only chapter that I enjoyed, was the last one, chapter 14. I thought the author did a good job creating the plot of and reason behind Fool's game. Other than that, I didn't really enjoy this story. I will more than likely not be reading/listening to this one again.
