Good story with a different viewpoint
What did you love best about The Silver Bear?
I wasn't familiar with Derek Haas, but I'm a big fan of Greg Bell and his Old-time radio channel on SiriusXM. When I heard that he narrated this book, I had to check it out. I wasn't disappointed and will definitely check out more of Haas' work.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Columbus, this was the most interested take on the role of a hitman that I have ever read. I liked the depth & conflict that he portrayed.
What does Greg Bell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His natural style really drew me in & made me think about what was going on.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
