Brilliant once again

I have read the book but due to cancer in the lungs I have to go hospital a lot I have cannulas in both hands depending on what drugs I am to be given. I get really fed up with them coming and keep checking. So I purchased the audible version of this book because I was desperate to read. Well I wish I hadn’t I started to listen to it after a couple of minutes I turned it off and went back to reading the book, while they kept messing about with the cannulas I just put my kindle to one side and used the kindle app I have on my phone thought it might be easier. I don’t think I will be purchasing any more audible books well not until I am almost blind anyhow. That’s if I live that long. The voice grated on my nerves, and I felt he could not get the truth emotionally content of the fear factors. I am sorry but it just felt I was back at school and the teacher was telling us stories. I wasn’t interested them. So it’s no wonder I am not interested now. Seriously just lacked the fear factor. Also when the wolf told him why he was doing it and what had happened to his friends it just didn’t carry the emotions that reading it yourself did. Not for me I am afraid 5 stars for the book itself

Very Good

The extremely rare case of the personal tragedy of an exceptional author who wrote this novel around the death of his partner and included and added dark, meta horror to the usual serial killer setting.

How the ending and especially the motivation of the antagonist in his monologue are described is how reality functions, how humankind rolls, what is several times happening right at this moment. (view spoiler) not to forget the, for the work irrelevant, secret prisons, NSA surveillance stuff, Orwellian tendencies, etc. There is money to make, cash is king, and it´s a buyer´s market. So better give black Friday special offers, why not (view spoiler)

What is even more disturbing is that, with such a setting, nobody is safe anymore. Before, it were certain main target audiences that got the most attention and deadly love by serial killers, but by imagining such a scenario, everyone could be a coincidental kill. Hope that the voices don´t have too specific wishes.

And that´s just the industrial world, imagine what must go in in the Southern hemisphere or in the areas of Europe and North America that are under control by organized crime. If one single person with special skills, talent, and motivation could do it, what could the criminal franchise equivalent of a megacorporation conglomerate do, let´s say a cooperation of Asian, Russian, and European crime syndicates that don´t fight, but work together and help each other?

An easy listen, thank you.

Poor storyline

Having read and enjoyed all the previous ones, this was just a bit predictable and annoying. Couldn’t wait to finish it, for all the wrong reasons

This story needs editing

A good idea spoilt by over description which slows the pace Could be two hours shorter and tauter.
