Sliver

De: Ira Levin

Narrado por: Simone Lewis

Kay Norris, a successful single woman of thirty-nine, moves into the posh Carnegie Hill district of Manhattan's Upper East Side, into an apartment in a slender high rise, a ""sliver"" building.

A man watches her. He watches her unpack, watches her make her bed. He owns the building; a shocking secret is concealed within its brick and concrete. Sliver is a hypnotic story of obsession, suspense, and stunning surprises. It is a novel about ultimate power, and the temptations the use of that power brings.

With ice cold precision, Levin, the author of Rosemary's Baby and The Stepford Wives, creates a mesmerizing story that culminates in a scene of electrifying suspense.

A Favorite of Mine

Th classic "what would you do" scenario and a favorite of mine. Ira Levin is so clever with unique circumstances and storylines.

Creepy and thoughtful

Brilliant writing. Good characters. I wish Audible had more of Levin's books. He is the best from his era.

Fantastic

I love Ira Levin. His female main characters are always awesome, and I especially enjoyed this strong main character. The psychological aspect is chilling. Loved it.

Soft-core nonsense?

It was just entertaining and short enough for me to not give up on it. Choppy writing style. Cheesy dialogue. Somewhat interesting story with lackluster execution. The narrator did the best she could with the source material.

Average story from stellar author

I had high hopes based on prior works I've read of his, but this was just meh. The concept didn't really grip me, and it felt rushed overall. It's not awful, but I wouldn't go out of my way to read it again.

The flim is better!

The book , is really dull compared to the flim it's based on you have to go forward during this lisnig to this book it drags ok

Disappointing story line and boring narration

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I had expected a better story line given this book was written by the famous Ira Levin. But the story line is unbelievably predictable and drags on too much. The boring narration does not help either. If you have insomnia, this book is a perfect sleeping pill for you.

Has Sliver turned you off from other books in this genre?

Yes, so far I have read two books by Ira Levin. I will discontinue my interest in his books after this one.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Soneela Nankani?

Either Jeffwoodman or Tom Taylorson or Paul Boehmer would narrate better than Soneela Nankani!

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

None whatsoever!
