Everything She Ever Wanted

De: Ann Rule

Narrado por: Betty Buckley

Pat was a beautiful, willful child whose family belonged to the upper crust of Georgia society. Little Pat's parents adored their daughter and satisfied her every desire. But as Pat grew older, her pampered life took a twisted turn when she found that her beauty and spoiled demands were not enough. Now, to get everything she ever wanted, she would resort to lying, deception, robbery - and worse.

Ann Rule uses her characteristic insight and exclusive access to the facts to create a gripping portrait of that rarity in crime: a female sociopath.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Rule's tautly written study of this diabolical woman constantly fascinates." (Library Journal)
"Betty Buckley uses a gentle Southern accent for a quiet, but compelling delivery." (AudioFile)

The narrator talks way to slow and monotone

I kept having to speed the narration up to get through it. She talked way to slow and drawn out. The story was ok at best. Ann Rule has much better books.

Short but good

As always Ann delivers... She managed to tell a story in great detail in a small amount of time! The narrator was perfect!

The narrtor isn't very good

I have read this before and like it better and the narrator doesn't do this justices.

This is an interesting store jealous can tear families apart and I believe that is why Pat did what she did. She couldn't stand that his parents didn't like her plus she wanted everything. So many lives effect and so much pain from one women, I am so glad her husband didn't take his own life. Pat was a very bad person that didn't get what she needed to. I thought it was written well.

Betty Buckley the narrator I didn't care for at all. She pauses when she should not and doesn't pause when she should. Her character voices aren't very good. There were no repeating of words and no background noise.

Narrated to perfection

Ms. Buckley narrated in such a way that added to the suspense. While interesting, the story was a bit too predictable for me and I was hoping for a major plot twist. Nonetheless, the narration made for a very enjoyable listen.

OK, but not one of Anne Rules best books

This book was fine. But not one of Ms. Rules best. Audible only offers Anne Rules books in the abridged format. So, maybe that is why I was left feeling like the story was wanting.

Female Psychopath perfectly presented

This is a gripping, fast moving story about a female psychopath following her nature by executing elaborate plots to gain material advantages. The story pulls you along down the labyrinth of a psychopathic mind. Deceptions, their playing out over time and their devastating effects are presented in a story that you can't stop reading.

Big disapointment and waste of credit

The reader managed to irritate me (listen to the sample before purchasing, I know I should have). The stories manage somehow to be uninteresting.

Narrator

I absolutely detest the sound of this narrators voice. I couldn’t even finish the book.

So Not Worth It

Any additional comments?

I know it's and abridged version, but I've read the hardcopy and they cut out some of the most interesting things about the case. I can't complain too much, I did know I was getting an abridged version, but yikes, if other abridged books are like this, I'm amazed anyone bothers.

The narrator and I think the actual recording itself are terrible. I can't hear her well at all, no matter how much I turn up the volume, use headphones, etc. Its a very poor recording. The narrator doesn't do anything to help, she's bland and forgettable. Really, its worth just reading the actual book rather than listening to this.

disappointment

not an interesting story. Didn't like the reader's voice. Felt like a waste of time
