It's a Home Run!

SONS OF THE FATHER is an exciting story about a beautiful young woman who suddenly finds herself being drawn into a dangerous world that she never expected to enter. The narration is expertly done, bringing the story to life and making the characters seem real.

"From a woman's point of view"

I'd like to be more positive in my review but this is truly a pale comparison to The Godfather. We just don't think the same way men do. The narration was equally pale in comparison. If you're looking for a "chick flick" version, you'll probably like it.

Mills and Boon Type "Thriller".

What would have made Sons of the Father better?

Changing the cringing dialogue for a start; it is like the script of a dreadful 'B' movie. I want realism in a book particularly one based on the Mafia.

What will your next listen be?

I don't know yet. Probably a non fiction account of crime or military experience.

What didn’t you like about Mike Dennis’s performance?

Unfortunately, his English accent is one of the worst I have ever heard. It varies throughout and sometime sounds possibly Scottish; very weird anyway. It would be hard to make anyone sound good with the melodramatic script though.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Sons of the Father?

I would change the narrator for a start and the whole book needs editing to give it more of an edge instead of resembling a soppy soap.

Any additional comments?

I certainly will NOT be buying anything written by this author again.
