My 1st Nora Roberts book.......
This was the 1st book I read by Nora Roberts and I was very pleased with it. I couldn't stop listening.....she captures your mind and fills it with her story. What a great ride this was!
A boring cliche, and disappointment
I'm usually really easy to please, and not a harsh critic, but I totally couldn't get into this book. I'll admit, this was my first attempt at Nora Roberts. Are all her books this way? I love the genre of adventure / romance, which is why I bought this. But I could NOT latch on to the characters at all, and before I knew it they were already "in love", when I didn't think anything had even begun. It felt like I missed something, but I didn't. The Heroine falls for this guy before there is even any build up or anything desirable about him! Very strange. It made it impossible to feel any connection whatsoever.
Maybe it is the narration that I didn't like. It's read very very quickly, with no pause between sentences or phrases, as if she were trying to just get through the thing. Also, the accents just lost me.
I didn't even download the second half of this book. 2 hours in, I give up.
Narration ruined the book for me
What disappointed you about The Reef?
Too long and drawn out. I felt like parts of the book were just added to make the story longer.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Not sure. Like Nora Roberts and will try her again. Not the narrator
What didnt you like about Sandra Burrs performance?
The male voices sounded like the narrator sucked helium before reading. Buck sounded like Popeye. The southern accent used for Tate was annoying.
What character would you cut from The Reef?
I wouldn't cut a character, just the voices.
Fantastic sexy suspense thriller
excellent story in even better if you like the water and that lifestyle. I hated to hear it finish and wanted more.
I couldn't stop listening!
The reef is by far the best book I have ever read. It started off with a twist, and through out the entire read there was something exciting happening. If I could have stayed awake and never slept, I would have read (listened to) the entire novel in one sitting. Wow, I have nothing but great reviews for the reef. If you need one book to read for your entire career, give this one a chance. There were just the right amounts of mystery, romance, excitement, twists, science and thrill in it.
