Members Reviews:

Suspense, history and horrifying

Where does Private Berlin rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

I found the story line and it's involvement in the history of East and West Berlin credible and exciting. I consider some of the graphic descriptions in this novel completely unnecessary. When I read a Paterson novel I expect crime and suspense. This novel I couldn't say I enjoyed and wished I hadn't listened to it. If I'd been reading it, at least I could have skimmed some of the more sadistic pages and may have been able to write a more positive review.

If youve listened to books by James Patterson and Mark Sullivan before, how does this one compare?

Have read and listened to James Patterson novels, not sure about the combination.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Ari Fliakos and January Lavoy ?

The narrators were excellent and did a fantastic job.

If you could take any character from Private Berlin out to dinner, who would it be and why?

I wouldn't take out any character.

Any additional comments?

Yes, I would have just inferred the terrible tortures and injustices. Perhaps just a few (or one short) paragraph would have sufficed. As authors, I'm sure they could have justified Chris's, Ilona's and everyone elses behaviour.

Good series

All the books have a common theme but are also very different which gives you a sense of familiarity and keeps the interest. The characters are well written and enjoyable, even the evil ones!

Enjoyed the east/west Germany element, being old enough to remember it, just.

Easy to listen to as the narrator was clear and each character was identifiable.

The Most Serious Private in the Series.

From start to finish, even though this is a work of fiction, it reads like pure fascinating fact!

Not as high tech as the others, but equally as high drama. Stick with it, it's worth it!

Similar to other Private stories

I like the Private books and this is my third one. It was a good read but I could not help thinking that the Private was just a title, it did not follow the big money, big tech of the other books. It is a good storyline, sometimes annoying in its nod to difficult to understand German lifestyle. I did enjoy the book but was disappointed it was not a real Private story.

Very disappointing

I listened intently to the first half of this download. My fascination was growing and I was anticipating a stupendous ending in part 2. Only to find out that the download is corrupted, even after returning and repurchasing. I am left wondering what happened next and disappointed that audible have not fixed the problem.
