 | Audiobook review - Story weak; Narrator worse Sep 10, 2009 |
I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks over the last ten years and this was probably the worst I ever endured. I did listen to the entire book, but only because I thought that the authors' reputations merited me at least giving it a chance to get moving as I listened further. But instead I found myself far more frustrated than entertained. First of all the reader, Kevin King, was horrible. The characters, despite being from Alabama, had no accents. They could just as well have been from Columbus, Ohio. But that was only minor compared to the way he read the story. Good readers can, and should, make an audiobook seem like you are listening to a "performance", and their talents add to the mood of a story. This reader, despite his acting credentials listed on the cover notes, sounded like he was simply reading a book to a grade school audience. As a result, it came out sounding more like a Scooby-Doo episode than a horror novel. Very disappointing, and I'd give him less than one "*" on this effort.
As for the story itself, it was very hard to follow and quite monotonous. It seemed like a never-ending game of the "good guys" and "bad guys" taking the weapons from each other. And perhaps it was because of the reader, but I had absolutely no feel for the emotions of any characters, thus no empathy for any of them. I really just wanted the book to end, and that is NOT a good endorsement of any mode of entertainment.
Perhaps a different reader could have made it more enjoyable, but in a nutshell, Stay away from this House! | | |  | Almost great. Almost ruined by the preaching. Nov 9, 2008 |
A very entertaining and imaginative horror novel with some great twists in the story and some good suspense. By about 300 pages in though, the novel becomes overtly Christian and starts to preach, a lot.
Without the cringe iducing final 50 or so pages I would have given this 5 stars. It gets 4 because it was excellent up until then. | | | | Didn't really care which one of four would be terminated in the book Nov 3, 2008 |
I have read several books from both authors. Because of this my expectations are high. Dekker is normally a master of plot twists and clearly presenting good vs.evil. Dekker sometimes struggles with full character development. The plot twists were lost on me because the character development was so poor. I was hoping that the serial killer would win in this book so that the whining of multiple characters would end and the book would end. I didn't appreciate a single character.
Jack and Stephanie are husband and wife and no reason for either of them to be hero's in this book. Because they lost a child, we as readers are supposed to see them as potential heros??? Jack spends most of the book looking at the other woman. Stephanie should have stayed locked in the closet in this book. Randy is not staged correctly to poise him as a tool for evil later on in the book.
The person that seems to be the most repentant for their own situation, dies first. So much for redemption.
Actually liked the evil tin man for a while until he started pouting and throwing a tantrum in one of the closing chapters. I would say more, yet would give away too much of the book.
Go read these authors' other books!(Thr3e, Adam, Visitation, A child called Blessed, A man called blessed, obsessed, blink, showdown)
There is some hope for the movie coming out because the visuals could be interesting. Debating if I am going to see the movie.
| | | | House - audiobook version review Oct 14, 2008 |
| For me, House was strange, repetitive, and disappointing. The same scenes seem to happen over and over, and the action is difficult to follow. The narrator did a good job, but there were a few editing mistakes. I didn't finish the story - and don't need to find out how it ends. Try some other works by these authors - they can both write a great book, but this work does not reflect their talent. | | |  | Intriguing Oct 14, 2008 |
This was a page turner. They did a good job with the description, some parts are really creepy.
The ending, however, wasn't too good. | | | | Extremely Dissapointed Oct 9, 2008 |
| I like to find Christian authors for enlightenment combined with entertainment. I have not read any of Ted Dekker other books; however, I have read almost all of Peretti and was disappointed from this book to the point where I would actually write a review. Finished the book like a bad movie just to get it over with. | | | Write your own review about House
