Running Blind
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Lee Child
Narrated By: Johnathan Mcclain
Publisher: Penguin Audio
Date: October 2012
Duration: 13 hours 16 minutes
Summary:
The bestselling novel featuring the “wonderfully epic hero” (People) who inspired the hit film Jack Reacher.
Across the country women are being murdered, victims of a disciplined and clever killer who leaves no trace evidence, no fatal wounds, no signs of struggle, and no clues to an apparent motive. They are, truly, perfect crimes. In fact, there’s only one thing that links one victim to the next. Each of the women knew Jack Reacher. And this time, even he’s running blind.

The Jack Reacher character voice was fine. The woman sound the same- like nasally hags (hard to picture them as beautiful) the men sound all like variations of 1940’s gangster types. So hard to follow the story because of the similarities in voices.

The story is fun and intriguing. The narrator is OK until he gets to the female voices and FBI adversaries. Then his voices are annoying, screetchy and over the top. A little bit of direction toning him down would have been nice. I'd like to have heard it with a more skilled narrator like Scott Brick.

Great book, I've enjoyed all the jack reacher novels I've read so far, with this being my first audiobook, but I did not care for the narrator especially with the female voices.

Good book. Couldn't stop listening. Wanted to know the ending. Will listen again more carefully to pick up on things I didn't catch the first time.

A good listen. Interesting plot. It got a little tedious and predicable at the end. But overall, I recommend this book.

This narrator is so horrible at character voices that I felt like I was listening to a 1950's radio drama of Batman with the comical characters of the Joker, the Riddler,, Penguin and Batgirl. His female voices are all whiney and cackling and annoying, and his male voices are no better. He can read a story I'm sure, but he is over-the-top in his dramatic scenes and he should stick to his natural voice for all. I had a hard time listening -- it was THAT bad. I'm going to have to read this story myself in order to get a true opinion of it. Don't waste your credits on this narration. He needs to change careers.
