Publisher's summary

Dividers is a stand-alone novel that pays homage to stories told by Stanley Kubrick. Billionaire Jacob Calbraw has just started a relationship with famed singer Celeste Marie. Their forbidden love affair has stirred the wrath of Jacob's father, Earl Calbraw. Since the two billionaires have been at war for years, and Earl still has Celeste under contract, the situation comes to a head in rapid fashion.

To further complicate things, Jacob awakens frequently in odd places, having lost several hours from his memory. He finds himself in a filthy Brooklyn, New York, bar bathroom and notices that his body is badly beaten. After a bit of reflection, he recalls kidnapping a little girl and locking her away somewhere...though he cannot put together all of the details.

As the story churns forward at a breakneck pace, Jacob begins to learn that things should not be taken at face value. It seems that something dark has overtaken his mind, and the source isn't clear. Has he been possessed by some malignant force, or succumbed to madness from 12 years of grieving for his missing mother? With each passing day, the young man must question whether events are taking place in the real world, or if he is just riding the demon. Is he experiencing these incredible things, or is someone systematically hijacking his mind?

Powerful and Emotional Ride

What made the experience of listening to Dividers the most enjoyable?

I was really swept away into the world created by the novel. It is an intense story and being able to listen to it, especially with headphones, made the experience much deeper than just reading the book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dividers?

Without giving away a key plot scene, after several confrontations and constant disregard for human life, tensions build and something dark starts to take hold of one of the characters. What happens next really took a twist that I had not expected and suprised me in a very positive way. Also, one of the character's efforts to save his son is very powerful and emotional. It is a scene that I will long remember.

His performance is spot on. Not only does he narrate the book, but he acts it out most of the times, providing us with vivid images of the story.

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

Yes, it was, but although the novel was captivating and emotionally powerful, I listened to it over the course of 4 days, as I didn't have the time to do it in one sitting in a single day.

Any additional comments?

I was thrilled by the book and the narration. Whether you love or loathe the characters for what they are, the one thing that is sure is that you will feel deeply for them. It is indeed a rollercoaster emotional ride from start to finish.
