OK but not one of Baldacci's better books ...
Narrator's voice was harsh to my ears. Storyline dragged on a bit - not my most favourite of DB's novels. Overall, would rate it OK but I did not engage fully with the storyline as I have with his other books, and it therefore felt a bit like hard work at times.

confusing!
Far too many characters in closing chapters, many not heard of since begining, confusing, could hardly wait to finish!

What A Plodder! Not The Author's Fault
I'm sure this is a really good story. Sadly, I never got to find out. I had to stop listening part way through, as the narration was utterly appalling. Not in the least bit engaging and so monotonous. PLEASE do not let this man anywhere near any future David Baldacci narrations.
I would suggest you buy this book to read, not listen to. It will increase your chances of enjoying it tremendously.

Shame About The Newsreader
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Generally, yes. Baldacci is a good story-teller.
Would you be willing to try another one of Jonathan Marosz’s performances?
No. He read it like a newsreader and made it very difficult to get into the pace of the narrative, as it just plodded on and on. Surely his producer/director should have corrected this.

Not bad but I hope his later women are less stupid
Sydney Archer was deliberately written as ridiculously dumb and that annoyed me. This story was good, if dated, but it did convey a period not so long ago when the world of cyberspace was very different and the aspirations of those in at the beginning were naive at best.
It definitely reflects a world where men were men and women dumb.
