Pretentious Prattle

Revisado: 12-05-24

So, there is a shallow writers market for Hampshire-College-like graduates? This thing is challenging, well enough, to have me hang on sufficiently to have a review accepted. It is the Well-Turned-Phrase-Burying-Ground. If it is, or was, the author’s intent to prove that vapid education should come with a warning sign, well SUCCESS! What’s next? Word salad chef for Kamala Harris? Ugh! There is a skull and cross bones on The Sign On Sidney Brustein’s Window.

Is this where I came into this movie?

Revisado: 07-06-24

Getting derivative of David’s past books in this series (I’ve read or listened to each - many twice). In fact, at one point I looked at ‘details’ to check if this was indeed new. Love Andy and his gang, but sadly fear the author’s tiring and ‘save the world’ plots are an overreach. Fear next plot will send Tara to Saturn 😵‍💫

Astonishing craft of David Rosenfelt!

Revisado: 02-19-24

This my TWENTY SECOND Rosenfelt original listen PLUS I’ve relistened to the first twelve novels TWICE!! Andy Carpenter and Grover Gardner’s characterization are… are.. wonder filled. No other media can do what this team does. Congrats Audible for this marriage.

Narrative abrasive

Revisado: 12-06-23

Characters unintentionally (?) abrasive? Not one with which to identify. Interest collapsed 1/3 in. Felt driven away by writer(s).

A Zillion Doors To Boredom

Revisado: 08-18-23

Intriguing premise for what should have been a novella or, better yet, sudden fiction. “Will this never end”, I wondered. “How to escape the author’s wandering wonderings? “Ah-Hah! The Forward Arrow! The Chapters section! I can seek some sense of an ending!” So I pressed, then rattled my thumb on the FF like a drummer on a roll. And finally I broke away from this lesson in insanity - no longer repeating in hope of a different conclusion. This book is a well written trip through terminal boredom. Ugh!

Like bad Peter Lorrie 40s B flick

Revisado: 07-10-23

No cliche left un-squirmed. Ugh! Like a pot boiler stew crammed with over seasoned veggies past their buy time.

ZZZZZ

Revisado: 05-30-23

The writers technical craft mastery pulled me to an ending more convoluted than a lesson on quantum mechanics. Don’t if I’ll again read another Horowitz. Zzzzzzzzz!

Tried too hard

Revisado: 11-26-22

Every good author gets a dud. This one’s Chris’s. Too many characters for an audiobook which makes easy review of cast difficult. Who are all of these people? How’d they fit in again? Probably, if I lacked a life with time to listen (and study) this plot w/out interruption, I might have cared enough to keep the storyline unsnarled. Too much responsibility, I expect the author of recreational fiction to do that for me. The reader didn’t help with insufficient definition in character voices. Good luck next time.

Tediously Dull

Revisado: 11-19-22

Poorly identified characters appear then are discarded with the rapidity and disdain of Kleenex in the flu. The reader’s British accent wafts a cloud of tedious condescension over this heap of minutiae. Were there no editors available to this author? This is a 1930s textbook, an exercise in stimulating sleep. Ugh.
