The Anderson Tapes

I really enjoyed this book.The format of telling the story from from surveillance tape transcripts was an interesting twist.I also liked the variety of narrators. All The narration was excellent. I really liked Billy and Gerry Bingham Jr.. I also liked the guy with the Irish accent,he seemed so authentic-was he really Irish?. John Anderson was also very good! The story and plot kept me guessing. I would highly recommend this book for those who enjoy crime or suspense books.

THE TAPES

Although I saw this film several years ago, the story was just as exciting. Anyone who likes puzzles will truly love the way this story comes together.Sometimes a little too erotic for the sqeemish, but I think it was necessary to bring out the true character of the main character. I highly recommend this one for those who enjoy, 'page-turners.'

best narration wver

This is a very good and intelligent book but the narrations by the cast was, to be honest, the best I ever listened too.
Lawrence Sanders was a great writer.

Disappointing after:

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

After listening to the 1st and 2nd "Deadly Sin" it was like, this book was not as well written or organized. It was not terrible, just not as good as the "Deadly Sins" books. It was as if this was the first book Sanders had published.

Would you be willing to try another book from Lawrence Sanders? Why or why not?

Yes, as I said, I read this out of order. I will listen to the "Deadly Sins" series.

Underwhelmed...

I enjoy many books by Lawrence Sanders, but this was not one of them. It’s possible I’d have preferred the actual book to the audio version, as one of my issues was the narration. This story has a full cast, which I found distracting. Some of the narrators were great, others ok, and some annoying and fake sounding.
The concept of telling the story through surveillance tapes was interesting, but inconsistent. Overall I found that distracting as well, I couldn’t lose myself in the story or characters.
