The Labyrinth of Osiris

De: Paul Sussman

Narrado por: Gordon Griffin

Much has changed since Yusuf Khalifa of the Luxor Police and hard-nosed Jerusalem detective Arieh Ben-Roi last met. Ben-Roi is about to become a father, and Khalifa is struggling with personal tragedies. But as they each work on their own - seemingly isolated - cases, the two investigations begin to entwine. They soon find themselves drawn into a sinister web of violence, abuse, corporate malpractice and anti-capitalist terrorism. And at the heart of the web lies the Labyrinth...

Another dead author

What made the experience of listening to The Labyrinth of Osiris the most enjoyable?

I keep finding great authors who have died. Paul Sussman is recently deceased, and now I discover him - same thing happened with Stieg Larssen, whose 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' hooked me. I'll read all of Sussman's books, and mourn when I've read the last of them.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

There's lots of detail of an historical nature, which I find enjoyable. The characters are compelling.

The Best Book I've Received

What does Gordon Griffin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Accents and emotions

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both

Any additional comments?

Read it! .. or Listen to it! ............. its good

Level of detail, while peripheral, made it a worthwhile listen.

Seemed to go on and on and on, much longer than my usual audiobooks. In the end, though, I appreciated it.

Suprise

I had never heard of tis book or Paul Sussman. The book was fast-paced, suprising, interesting, and entertaining. I know Israel and Israeli's fairly well and could recognize man of these characters. The narrator occasionally stumbles over Hebrew words, but this does not detract (especially since most will not know or care). I was somewhat put off at the climax, but enjoyed the entire novel so well, I rate it a 5

Great story .

only reason I didn't give it five stars was the language. I really don't like books and movies that can't tell a story without using foul language. makes me not want to finish it. didn't grow up with that language, and our family doesn't use it.
