Amor Towles - The Lincoln Highway

Amor Towles - The Lincoln Highway (2025-06-14)

Narrated by: Edoardo Ballerini, Marin Ireland, Dion Graham
Length: 16 hrs and 39 mins

★★★☆☆

I found the story a bit un-engaging. I found I just didn't really care what happened to the characters which is not how you usually want to feel when reading. And Dutchess was entirely unlikable.

Neil Alexander - The Vanishing of Margaret Small

Neil Alexander - The Vanishing of Margaret Small (2025-06-07)

3 Stars. I know everyone else seemed to love it but I found it kind of boring. And the chapter ends--which didn't break the narrative or time line--to be distracting. I guess I just found myself unable to really care very much.


David Baldacci - Will Robie 3 - The Target

Tuesday, June 03, 2025, 12:00 AM

David Baldacci - Will Robie 3 - The Target (2025-06-03)

Narrated by: Ron McLarty, Orlagh Cassidy
Series: Will Robie, Book 3
Length: 12 hrs and 51 mins

1.5 to 2 stars

I have to say, I nearly DNFed this and kind of wish I had. It just fell flat to me. The situations felt too fake and nowhere near immersive. For example, there was a scene with torture and you barely "felt" it. It was like you weren't there. Also, the "side quests" were dumb and didn't add value. I think I am over Will Robie.

I enjoyed Ron McLarty's narration but the constant swapping with Orlagh was distracting.
