| I really enjoyed this story, more than I thought I would. I haven't read (or listened to) any other story like it. The plot is pretty unique and the and narrator, Ron Livingston, was fun to listen for most of the characters. If you watch my video, you'll find out what my main issue is with one particular character and the narration of that character. But don't worry, as you can tell by rating, the issues that I had were small and didn't effect my overall feelings on the book. Have you read Keep Quiet or anything else by Scottoline? If you enjoyed it please let me know and feel free to recommend other books by Scottoline. Happy Reading & Listening, ~Tamara On a mobile device? Watch the coordinating video here! | |
