I want my time and my credit back. True drivel. Even without knowing the author’s current … pivot?… the books screams “self-important man who still has a lot to learn.”

Overall was not very good. Super predictable and far-fetched. The narration was good and I was able to get through the entire book but the book got worse as the story progressed. I would pass on this one.

I am not ashamed to admit that the HBO series is what prompted me to order this book (I much prefer reading the book before watching any screen adaptation). I knew nothing else about the book or the story but I'm glad I decided to read/listen. The story was compelling (and dark), the narration was perfect, and even when I thought I knew what was going on, I really didn't. Definitely worth a listen!

First, the narrator (Lucy Price-Lewis) is amazing. I have listened to a few books she’s done and I always love her narration. Second, the story was gripping and engaging. I finished quickly because I really enjoyed the listen. It wasn’t the best story ever - the ending fell a little flat - but overall totally worth it.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a great story, the mystery kept my interest, the storyline seemed very well mapped out (sometimes I find that endings seem forced and the reveal is too ridiculous to believe but not here). The narration was a little slow for me so I increased the speed to x1.25 and that did the trick. Definitely recommend this book!

I really enjoyed this book (and the narration) and never wanted to stop listening. I happened to have guessed some of the “twists” but the predictability didn’t detract from the story at all and would definitely recommend!

... this story was just painfully predictable and downright bad. I'm not entirely sure how or why I made it through to the end but I'd be glad for those hours of my life back.

Yes, the plot got a little crazy and difficult to believe but despite a few "eye rolls" it still held my interest. Relatively quick, fun read that was enjoyable and easy to get through.

The story was incredibly engaging and the narrator's performance was excellent! I was actually frightened at points during the story but still couldn't turn it off. Storyline is somewhat hard to buy but just suspend disbelief and go along for the ride.
