The Island

This was not an easy book to get into. I think if a better narrator were chosen, it would have been much better. Half the time I could not tell if it was a man or a woman who was supposed to be speaking. I love books about the mob but this one did not live up to my expectations based on the blurb. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Great Story but narrator.....

This was a very interesting story although it is a familiar one. The narrator was not very good and she often distracted from the story. While I like this author’s stories this narrator is enough to give me pause.

Disappointed...

Looked interesting but under preformed.... The storyline in the blurb caught my attention but I actually only made it through a couple chapters. I could be wrong maybe it got better but the dialogue was cringey and the narration was worse. I couldn't tell the difference between the female and male lead, it was in the same voice. Also I dont know if the narrator didn't read the story correctly but several times the grammar was incorrect or they outright used the wrong word... I could guess the word they meant by context but they used a either a made up word or incorrect word that sounded similar. I wonder if this book was ever edited. It by far isn't the worst I've listened to but wasn't good either.
