A chilling psychological thriller that explores the menacing evil behind the glittering facades of Manhattan's skyscrapers.

Kay Norris, a successful and lovely book editor, moves into the posh Carnegie Hall district of Manhattan, into an apartment in a slender high-rise. A man watches her. He watches her unpack, watches her make her bed. He owns the building: A shocking secret is concealed within its brick and concrete.

Sliver is a sinuous erotic thriller, a hypnotic story of obsession, suspense, and stunning surprises. It is a novel about the ultimate power, and the temptations the use of that power brings.

Brilliant writing. Good characters. I wish Audible had more of Levin's books. He is the best from his era.

I love Ira Levin. His female main characters are always awesome, and I especially enjoyed this strong main character. The psychological aspect is chilling. Loved it.

Fantastic

It was just entertaining and short enough for me to not give up on it. Choppy writing style. Cheesy dialogue. Somewhat interesting story with lackluster execution. The narrator did the best she could with the source material.

Soft-core nonsense?

I had high hopes based on prior works I've read of his, but this was just meh. The concept didn't really grip me, and it felt rushed overall. It's not awful, but I wouldn't go out of my way to read it again.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I had expected a better story line given this book was written by the famous Ira Levin. But the story line is unbelievably predictable and drags on too much. The boring narration does not help either. If you have insomnia, this book is a perfect sleeping pill for you.

Has Sliver turned you off from other books in this genre?

Yes, so far I have read two books by Ira Levin. I will discontinue my interest in his books after this one.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Soneela Nankani?

Either Jeffwoodman or Tom Taylorson or Paul Boehmer would narrate better than Soneela Nankani!

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

None whatsoever!

Disappointing story line and boring narration
