not that thrilling for. Thriller

I think my suspension of disbelief was strained beyond what I could handle. Scientific experiments on children based on no evidence? Familiarization of kids with death with no suggestion of why it was necessary, except to creat a creepy vibe? I have been a research scientist in my day, and this didn't work for me. The villains were obvious and there was nothing really unexpected that happened, except weird stuff that didn't make sense to me. if you can get engrossed in the characters, that might carry you through, but this wasn't my cup of tea. nNo shade on the performances though! Those were professional and enjoyable.

Good performance, okay story.

The performance of the story was great. I am a big fan of multiple voice casts. However, the story itself left something to be desired. I found much of the plot hard to believe, and even though there can be charm in not having all the answers, it felt as though many narrative decisions were made for effect and not for legitimate plot purposes. There aren’t many surprising twists to this story (you see them coming and wonder why the characters don’t) but I must admit I did listen to the end to see where the story went.

Unusual yet gripping

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was an unusual storyline, and, grasping, for the memories Was most intriguing. It certainly kept me listening to the end.

Different

I'm not sure how I feel about this book. I know it isn't a thriller. The story is definitely very different. Unique characters and story line though. It was easy to follow but quite slow at times.

Intriguing Story Presented Exceptionally Well

Carter Wilson fashions what should be a strikingly implausible scenario involving suppressed memories and human experimentation.. but he somehow makes it easy for readers to set aside reservations. The plotting, pacing, character development, description, and dialogue are far from perfect - Wilson isn't going to win any writing awards - but I found myself captivated by this twisty-turny tale. Even the cartoonish bad guys & gunfights unaccountably fit.

As to delivery: I only have two concerns with the otherwise unimpeachable performance: all three narrators read slightly too slowly (this book is best consumed at 1.15X), and Jennifer O'Donnell - reading the 'Clara Stowe' parts - inspires loudly between sentences (avoid earbuds).
Michael Braun & Jonathan Todd Ross - handling the 'Jake Buchanan', 'Landis Mueller', 'Alexander Eaton', and Third-Person Perspective segments - are nearly flawless.. and Recorded Books sound engineers provide an audiobook that is comfortable to listen to for hours on end.

If given the option to get this book as a text (paper or eBook) or recorded iteration, take this version any day of the week and twice on Sunday. This product rates 9 stars out of 10. I am thrilled that I got 'The Dead Girl In 2A' as a 'Plus' selection - because it would actually merit a Credit.

Good but unnecessarily long

I’m not sure what I expected when I downloaded this book but it definitely wasn’t what I listened to. the book was good however it was almost ridiculously long to the point where I skipped chapters 53 to 74 and still was able to get the gist of the entire story, so for that I gave it a three star if it was shorter I probably would’ve given it a higher rating but yeah too long winded.
