About this listen
CompWare is in serious trouble after a promised merger falls through, so they do what other businesses have done to bolster their public image: They hire a consulting firm to review and streamline their business practices.
But there's something strange about the firm they hire - more specifically, the quirky gentleman who arrives to supervise the project: Mr. Patoff, tall and thin, wearing a bow tie, and with an odd smile that never quite reaches his eyes.
In his first interactions, the consultant asks inappropriate questions and generally seems a nuisance. Over time Patoff gains power to the point where he seems to be running the whole company. He enacts arbitrary and invasive changes to office protocol; he places cameras all over the building, causing paranoia among the workers; he calls employees at all hours of the night; and he visits some of their homes and menaces their families. People who defy the consultant get fired...or worse. The employees of CompWare soon realize they're not just fighting for their jobs: They're fighting for their lives.
The Consultant is a biting workplace satire with the horrific touches only Bentley Little could provide.

Story
In the small town of Montgomery, Arizona, Kyle Decker's book shop is barely breaking even. When a bank opens in the empty storefront next door, he hopes the new establishment will bring in more foot traffic. Trouble is, nobody has ever heard of the First People's Bank, and the local branch has appeared mysteriously overnight. Their incentives for new customers seem reasonable...at first. But is it a coincidence when Kyle's wife has her identity stolen and his son receives emails that seem to know his private thoughts? Or when the manager of a competing bank dies a gruesome death?

Story
The formerly laid-back principal has become unusually strict. And with her toadying secretary, she seems to be running the show. That isn’t all. The janitors no longer work nights because of what they hear. The students are frightened by what they see. And things are happening on school grounds that defy rational explanation. But there is an explanation. It’s just not anything that anyone can begin to believe — or hope to survive.

Fear has made Sue Wing run from the darkened school and into night, a fear so powerful she can only name it using the Cantonese myths of her grandmother: Cup-hu-girngsi, the corspe who drinks blood. Reporters like Rich Carter don't believe in the supernatural, but all the signs are pointing to the same conclusion: a vampire is stalking the streets of Rio Verde. No, Rich Carter doesn't believe in such things. Not yet.

Story
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

Springerville is famous for the legend of the Mongolian Monster. Of course nobody really believes it. It’s just a good campfire story, something to attract gullible tourists until an excavation team unearths the figurine of a screaming woman, the jawbone of a deformed animal, and a child’s toy. How odd that they were buried together. Odd, too, is the foul odor lingering in the air, the strange noises at night, and the man’s face found hanging from a tree. Now the locals are locking their doors. Because after sundown, campfire stories can seem very, very real.

I LIKE TO CALL GOD RALPH, DEAR RALPH
ICKY, WAS THE PERFECT WORD TO DESCRIBE THE CONSULTANT
When this book came out, Audible put it in the top 20 of the Horror Category. I believe their was a movie or a series coming out about it at the time. Audible than made it a daily deal on April 16th, 2016. The top reviewer for the book at that time was a very trusted Horror reviewer at the time. She was ranked 2nd behind the untouchable AudiblebookReviewer, King of the I got it for free, check my blog reviewer. She gave it four stars and said it was the best Little had ever written. The rating at the time was around 3.9. A lot of people took advantage of the daily deal, including me, sending the book to number one in Horror. I was going to listen to the book, but noticed the ratings were dropping dramatically. The reviews were not good. Today the rating for the book is 3.0. This book was a massive failure, but I paid for it, so this week I finally took it on.
FAVORITE POSITION, MISSIONARY
AS anyone who reads my reviews knows, I either love a book or hate it and I often will not finish a book, I am not enjoying. It is against my religion. I got through five hours, but did not think the book awful. I quit because it was taking too long to come together and I was not invested in the characters. At first I was intrigued, as someone who has worked for Aholes. I even worked for a guy back in the 80's, who was screwing half the office girls and doing what he could to get involved in everyone's sex life. You could do that in the 80's, matter of fact it was kind of expected. This book has an 80's feel to it. At that time, there were a lot of so called motivational guru's who were being employed by companies to motivate their employees. I know one girl back then, who worked for a company, where they all brought pillows to work and spent time in a dark room together. It was fairly common. HBO had a movie that played a lot at the time, that was very similar to this book. It was a sort of horror.
G STANDS FOR GENERATION
In the first five hours, the book had some sex and some gore and it was obvious that it was building up to something probably scary. I was too impatient to listen for another seven hours and maybe, be disappointed in the end. Those people with more patience, might enjoy this. I especially think older people who worked in the eighties and whose company was involved in these silly antics will enjoy it.
DAILY DEAL
I am still following and still respect the now third place, (behind me) reviewer. Nobody agrees with anybody 100% of the time. I don't follow the number one guy anymore, simply because he keeps blowing up my e-mail with his multiple reviews a day, (kinda like I am doing to you today, sorry, I got an unexpected day off and I need to catch up.) I promise after today, I will not do more than two a day.

EGREGIOUSLY POORLY WRITTEN!!!
Interesting premise, that became so disgusting and exploitive, I returned it.
Although well performed this book is simply dreadful. Trust me this author is a vain and a poor facsimile of Brett Easton Ellis.

This was a letdown.
The book started off pretty good and built up towards what should have been an interesting ending. Sadly in the end nothing was closed satisfactorily. Not a cliffhanger but just really left me feeling like I wasted time on this book.

No point
I really wanted to like this. It is a bazaar story, and I was willing to "suspend reality" during the story. But in the end, nothing makes any sense. We are left with more questions than answers. And in the end I found the motivations of the Consultant to be utterly preposterous. When reading a book like this I will often ask myself, "what would I do in this situation?" Most of the time I found the actions of the main character so stupid as to render him just a means to an end. The author simply made him dumb enough to keep his story moving in the direction he wanted.
This could have been good, the potential was there.

Intrigued, then board and let down.
This book started off great, could not put it down. Then it just kept running in circles.
Could have been great, but the ending left me angry I spent the time.

Let's make this into a movie!
This audiobook had me from the first chapter. I could see this made into a movie (you heard it from me first). Ramiz Monsef did an excellent job narrating.
This book can get a quite a bit raw and graphic so be warned.
My only thing was I would have preferred a better ending. But the book is still very much worth the read or should I say listen.

What was that
Ok it makes zero sense the cops were not involved from the beginning. And zero sense that Craig was trying to keep everyone’s jobs and saying to get back to work, after walking through a hallway of blood. Stupid ending to a weird story.

So disappointed
I chose to read this book because I really enjoyed the Prime Video series and I wanted to understand more about the story and characters. What a mistake and waste of 12 hours. This story has moments when it is promising, but then it veers off into completely ludicrous directions. The graphic descriptions of SA were unnecessary and detracted from the story. The narrator did a good job for the male characters, but became distracting as the female and children.
