A Cure for Night Audiobook (Unabridged)

" An adequate but not particularly remarkable book. It's a decent first novel, I guess, but fairly predictable. The advance reviews are totally overselling it. I've read worse, but I've read a lot better as well. "

" I stopped at chapter 5. If he got an award for this; I'm going to get the Pulitzer Price! "

" A strong debut, this legal procedural is impressive in its authenticity with the characters and their development in the context of a trial. "

" Mildly entertaining. A page turner . . . but the characters lack dimension, the plotting is straight our of "Law and Order" (all comparisons to "The Wire" must immediately cease), and the dialogue verges on minstrelsy. Another lawyer writes a novel. "

" Pretty standard courtroom drama. Reads like an episode of The Practice or some other courtroom show. A magazine compared it to The Wire. It's more like a book written by someone who watches the Wire. Key mystery is pretty easy to figure out. "

" Good book about a young lawyer in Brooklyn, and a murder trial. Entertaining. "

" writing & plot moves you along at a fairly good clip, perhaps a little too much legal stuff in the middle. i was entertained. "

" Not a great legal thriller, but the author has an ear for the snappy dialogue demanded by noir. He is an author to watch, for those of us who like this form. I hope that in his second book, he spent more time developing the steps of his plot. I felt there were bit chunks missing out of this one. "

" A superbly written book with a compelling plot. One of the best books I have read this year. "

" A well written court thriller that never really caught my attention. "

" A great law procedural/mystery about drug life in Brooklyn. "

" Public defenders make for interesting heroes. "

" This is a well-written, well thought out legal thriller. I enjoyed the switches back and forth from the lawyers' conversations to the manner in which the perps speak. Just a plain old-fashioned good read. "

" This was okay, don't know if I would have enjoyed the book more or not. The ending wasn't a big surprise. "

" Excellent debut novel. The protagonist throws away his glittering career for dope and suffers the consequences. In the end, he redeems himself. I read mysteries for the good guys to win and this one worked well. "

" I like books by lawyers. Here, I could identify with the main character, an everyguy who is not a hero just trying to figure out what's going on. Drugs and murder in the projects from a public defender's point of view. "

" Public defenders make for interesting heroes. "

" this was a really good read that read like a legal drama...so good "
