14

De: Peter Clines

Narrado por: Ray Porter

Audie Award Nominee, Science Fiction, 2013

Padlocked doors. Strange light fixtures. Mutant cockroaches.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s. Because every room in this old Los Angeles brownstone has a mystery or two. Mysteries that stretch back over a hundred years. Some of them are in plain sight. Some are behind locked doors. And all together these mysteries could mean the end of Nate and his friends. Or the end of everything....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A riveting apocalyptic mystery in the style of LOST." (Craig DiLouie, author of The Infection and The Killing Floor)

"A wholly original story that weaves together mystery and the apocalypse like a finely tuned band." (Evan Roy, Bricks of the Dead)

Great Narration....Lousy story!!

This book at first had lots of promise to be great, but the second half of book was downright silly! The narrator was the only bright spot about this book!

Boring

What did you like best about 14? What did you like least?

The story line was leading and somewhat interesting. This was far from scary and a little silly. There was no connection with the characters. When someone died I felt nothing.

If you’ve listened to books by Peter Clines before, how does this one compare?

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Maybe

Drags on...

This was my first Peter Clines' book to listen to.

I have become a fan of his Zombies/Super Heroes series, but this book is not part of the series.

14 started out interesting enough, but took too long to get to the meat of the story. Then it just got too "out there" at the end.

It was just okay.

too long, too boring

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No, because it's too long and too boring.

Would you be willing to try another book from Peter Clines? Why or why not?

Doubt it, I didn't really like this one.

What three words best describe Ray Porter’s voice?

Good.

Was 14 worth the listening time?

No

Any additional comments?

Nope

HOW STRANGE!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Initially I was really into the story line of this book, then it just turned strange. I was so upset that I'd spent hours waiting for THAT! Not to give anything away but the author took something so promising and just made it weird.

What could Peter Clines have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

The premise of the book was good up until the left turn, then it was just BAD.

What aspect of Ray Porter’s performance would you have changed?

The reader did a good job.

Could you see 14 being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes with a different ending.

Any additional comments?

I read the reviews and trusted the other listeners. I even recommended the book to my husband who now thinks I'm a certified fruit loop. I'm not allowed to recommend anything to him until I've finished listening first.
