The readers were flawless. I thought I was watching a play. Of course, I read this book many years ago and I was frightened then but I was interested in listening in the context of the political climate in this country now.

One star since I couldn't get past the first hour. Seemed bound to use Steinbeck's East of Eden as a recipe. Slow and boring.
I'll continue to look forward to Grisham's future work, but in his own style of well-developed characters; ones that inspire empathy. I just could not slog through it.

I don't know how I finished this read . . . I hated the characters: they were whiney, psychologically unattractive, unauthentic, etc.
For instance, their child was kidnapped and possibly dead. How, then, is it even possible that there was the time to engage in silly sex?? not to mention the improbability of any reasonable character going on with their lives in such a circumstance. Enough said, although not an exhaustive litany of the wrongness of the book. Sorry.

When I started listening to this book, I considered chucking it. But I hung in there mainly because I didn't have access to the internet. So I persisted. I came to really love the characters. Well done. I would have given it 5 stars but for the somewhat unsatisfying conclusion. Nevertheless, I did enjoy the book.

Enjoyed this book. A little predictable, but . . .good characters and great narrator. Good enough to listen to the next book in series.

I will return this book. This book title does not hint that this is a book about snuff films. It is pornographic and horrifing, I could not finish (I gave it a good try). I could not stand the graphic descriptions about killing and sexually torturing the women. It is not a good book to listen if the listener is looking for a good read. I do NOT get the rating.

Excellent book. A must read recommended by a hard nosed and demanding reader. For some reason I avoided listening??? But was immediately drawn in and there I was!
