Very random, difficult to follow.

I received this audiobook for free from the author / narrator / publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.

Looks like the author wanted to mash multiple genres in this book and as a result, created a confusing mess of a story. It proved very difficult to get into and I couldn't understand what was really going on or where it was all headed. I had to abandon the after a point.

The narration too was pretty bland.

this book was decent entrainment. not horrible and not great. hard to follow at first for me

Random Bullet

This audiobook is very enjoyable not the usual crime thriller I listen but it was easy to get into plus held my attention from beginning to the end several stories mingling into one a bit raunchy in places and a bloodbath at the end

Dark but not in a good way.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This book may be enjoyed by someone with a different tolerance for fringe behaviors and thicker skin, I was turned off at every turn.

Has Random Bullets turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, I will pay closer attention to the overall storytelling though, not at all my taste.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator didn't match the vocal inflection to the story, the highs and lows in volume and timbre were very distracting in being overdone in simple conversation and almost missing when needed to sell the story. A bit to Monte Python, over the top for me.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Not really, fat shaming, victimizing young girls, etc. Not my kind of mystery.

Any additional comments?

The overall writing style and pace was well done but the sensationalism was overkill, just present the story simply and give us the needed details, there really is no need to waste a whole chapter on why someone is overweight, sum it up and move on, we get it.

There was really no way to follow the book with this narrator, he was all over the place in his infliction and didn't even bother to change his voice or even the pace of his narration with different characters. His rather cheery voice saying "And he shot him in the back of the head." was so distracting and out of place, I had to take a month long break from this book.

What just happened?

I’m not sure what is going on in this book. I couldn’t get into it or see the point in finishing it. It’s very choppy and the narration is not great. I received a review copy at my request and voluntarily reviewed.
