Unabridged Audiobook
Let's start with the narration - if you speed it up to like 1.3x it's actually perfect. If not it's wayyyy to slow and the weird pauses and emphasizing certain words was just strange... but again at 1.3x this is not a problem and the narration is great. As far as the story goes - not my favorite book from Grady - I have read 4 of his books so far (We Sold Our Souls, My Best Friend's Exorcism, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires - being the other 3). This one might be my least favorite - it's not bad, the mystery of it all was actually pretty fun. But it lacks any fantastical/supernatural elements like his other books - without spoiling anything there is a TOUCH of something supernatural but it is only mentioned in a sentence or two and never explained or elaborated on and is not really relevant to the main story. Maybe the author could dive into that in a sequel. Because it lacks those supernatural elements it makes some of the events that occur a bit "too real" basically mass shooting type stuff - and though that didn't offend me, it's just not what I expect from this author who usually combines something real, with something supernatural. Also, the very ending, I didn't care for it and just didn't make sense as far as what I thought the characters should have done.
I had a hard time keeping up with all of the characters and the hints to movies.
I listened to book more out of the need to finish what I started rather than real interest. Definitely tedious toward the end.
It was pretty bad
Fun premise, became super predictable and tedious. Unlikeable protagonist had me rooting for the baddies.
Sorry…..I found this book slow and redundant. Maybe it was just me, but the best thing about this book was the end!!! The narrator was easy to understand.
