The Brotherhood of the Rose

De: David Morrell

Narrado por: David Morrell, Full Cast

They were orphans, Chris and Saul - raised in a Philadelphia school for boys, bonded by friendship, and devoted to a mysterious man called Eliot.

He visited them and brought them candy.

He treated them like sons.

He trained them to be assassins.

Now he is trying desperately to have them killed.

Spanning the globe, here is an astonishing novel of fierce loyalty and violent betrayal, of murders planned and coolly executed, of revenge bitterly, urgently desired.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Riveting...Crackling...It really moves." ( Washington Post Book World)

Good story line

Good story, looking forward to the next book. Didn’t really care for the narrator though.

wonderfully written.

the narration was enjoyable and clear. the story is timeless and prescient. the concept of the bonds formed in hardship are illustrated well here.

Strong story, a tad long

Worth a credit. Warning: the book is more than 20 years old and feels a bit dated.

I prefer single readers to casts, but the story itself is strong and held my attention most of the way. I did feel, however, that it began to grow a bit predictable and I was ready for the story to wind up about 45 minutes before it actually did.

I did not find the reading too clipped or fast. I'll read more Morrell after this one.

Vaughn Q.

Read this many years ago & seen the movie, always wanted to see of I could get it again. Not disappointed in yhe least...

I read

This several years ago. The reading is terrible. I like one reader, not a full cast. Really messed up my experience..

Story vg narration subpar

This is my 2nd time with this story. I read it and now listened to it. The idea around the book is quite inventive in terms of how characters were recruited and some of the safe havens involved. I'd say more about those but don't want to spoil things.
Unfortunately, the reading of the audiobook is very bad. One of the worst I've ever heard. Buy the book.
I've heard there are some other books including the characters and I may have to look into those.

Performance needs updated

It seems to be a good story but really hard to listen to. I gave up it.

Great book, choppy reading

I'm a big fan or Morrell and I loved this book, but the production on this audio version is pretty sub-par. The narrator's voice goes really fast, as if the speed on the tape was increased. This makes it difficult to understand some of the words and the listener can end up confused on some character and plot points simply because it goes too fast to process.

Poor recording

Choppy audio. The recording was done with different people reading each character but when it’s played it seems like the speed is different for each person. Kinda distracting. Get it from Libby, this recording is not worth a credit.

Interesting premise, poor narration

I liked the story, but due to the poor narration it took many chapters to get into the novel. The narration was too fast at normal speed and felt like someone just reading for time. Enjoyed the thr premise and some of the twists and turns .
