Good short story

It was a lot better than I thought it would be. I will read more and would recommend this to anyone.

ANTHONY STONE>>>

Good story and the reader is really good but if I had a buck for every time the reader said "Anthony Stone" instead of just "Stone" or "Anthony" I would never have to pay for audible again,. Honestly it really took me out of it.

I liked it!!!!

I'm never over judgmental with any of the auto-books. I just chill and listen while at work or doing chores at home. I really liked this and didn't mind hearing his full name, over and over and over and over. I loved the story line and I loved the action. It reminded me of a Die Hard knock-off.

Bought for the narrator

I absolutely love this narrator, Sullivan Jones. What a wonderful, velvety voice. He infuses his voice with fun and drama without being excessively emotional. He puts me at the scene seeing everything in the story.
The story was action mayhem fun. I winced a few times at flagrant grammatical errors, because I'm a bit of a grammarian, but they did not detract from the action and bullet-filled fun.
The plot had a few holes, and a few situations that were incomprehensible (SWAT killing hostages?) but for a light, quick burst of action-filled fun, this was delightful.

Story had so much potential

It was very difficult to listen to this story. The repetition of the name and surname of the main character was very distracting and irritating.
Narration was okay.

Pronouns, use them

I think this book wins the award for repeating the main character’s name the most times. Honestly, he’s Anthony Stone. Let’s move on

No thanks

Terrible ! Is there really a reason to say characters names, full name, over and over?
