Silent Mercy

by Linda Fairstein
- Rated 2 stars
“Despite a talented performance by the narrator, this story couldn't keep my attention. I listened to 5 of 9 discs, expecting it to get better, but just didn't have enough interest to keep going. Too bad.”

Dragon Sea: A True Tale of Treasure, Archeology, and Greed off the Coast of Vietnam

by Frank Pope
- Rated 2 stars
“I admit I was distracted when I listened to this, but still, I found the story very slow and lacking in anything interesting - except for the brief discussion on decompression vs saturation diving. Until the last CD, I don't know why I listened to the whole thing.”

Bloodfever

by Karen Marie Moning
- Rated 3 stars
“3.5 stars. This was my 1st Moning book. I guess I'll need to get the next one to find out what happens. I liked the story, but didn't care for the cliffhanger ending. I wasn't aware this was a series. The attractive blonde girl in a bikini battling vampires and other creatures was quirky, and more sensual than Buffy the Vampire slayer.”

The Best of Me

by Nicholas Sparks
- Rated 3 stars
“I really was enjoying this story and wanted to give it 4 stars, but the ending was predictable and unorigina. Therefore, with disappointment, I dropped the rating to only 3. Knowing Sparks' tendency, I didn't really expect a happy ending, but, come on, man.”

The Romanov Prophecy

by Steve Berry
- Rated 3 stars
“2.75 Stars. I thnk this was abridged - maybe I would have enjoyed it more if it not been abridged. I didn't care for the main character. Names were tough to keep straight, and I couldn't get a good picture of the leading lady (short, stocky, but pretty?, gymnast with big feet? and can't remember her name).

Also - everyone one in the story is a traitor - really, enough with everyone being a turncoat.”

The Last Kingdom

by Bernard Cornwell
- Rated 4 stars
