A Simple Plan (Abridged) Audiobook

" I hated the story. Well written but I found it very depressing. "

" I'm vacillating between 2 and 3 stars. It's a fine piece of work of the type that clenches your gut with tension and horror. "

" Very well written - and downright horrifying. "

" Love the suspense. When the brothers and friend find the money, it changes their lives. I found the description of how the money and paranoia changed their thinking very believable. "

" not good--too violent "

" Three guys come upon a crashed plane with over $4,000,000 on it. They agree to keep the money but to wait a while to split it up to make sure nobody's looking for it. A simple plan . . . with predictable results. This is an excellent book of the type, well written, insightful, engaging in its exploration of the darker corners of the human soul: a literary crime novel. "

" An engrossing story of how one decision can spiral into disaster after disaster. Although this is an old tale of greed, suspicion and murder, I enjoyed this quick paced book. "

" It was a good book. Well written and the characters were well developed. A little on the depressing side though, but still a good read. I also definitely recommend reading his other book "The Ruins." "

" i read this book a number of years ago, and it has really stuck with me. i've picked it for my IRL book club to read for october, so i'm re-reading it now. "

" A fast read but got a little ridiculous towards the end of the book. Great excitement and fast paced writing but I was hoping for more plot twist. "

" I loved this book! I can see why Gillian Flynn recommended it. So intense. I am sorry it is over. It literally made my heart race. "

" I finished this book in 4 days. Fun read!!! (Yes, I do have a life) "

" This is a book that physically affected me. You cringe and hope and pray but he gives you no respite. Everything goes to shit and you have to watch it happen as it unfolds. It's a great book. "

" Loved this book. Smith is just scary good!! "

" I made it through 2/3 of the book before I had to stop reading. It's entertaining but gets gruesome and isn't something I want to fill my mind with. It may be exactly the read you're looking for but wasn't my cup of tea. "

" Awesome book. One of the best suspense novels I've ever read. "

" I had read this years ago and forgot that I read it. That right there might not say mich about the book, but it's actually very good....and one of those stories that spawned a movie that was also pretty good.....unlike Scott Smith's other pairing of the Ruins. "

" completely disappointed. "

" Highly recommend this book. It's a complete page turner. "

" This was a great book. I couldn't put it down! Not sure why I waited so long to read it. "

" Scary, but far from a horror book. a lot like "Deliverance." Well written and hard to put down. "

" been a long time since i've read it, so not sure i'd say it's a 4 or 5 star... but i definitely remember how terrific i thought the constant building of suspense and dread was... definitely kept me turning pages at a fast pace. "

" Great book! Thought the movie was crap. "

" This book was very painful to read. A big let down after reading The Ruins. To the book's credit... I did finish it. "

" Did not like it, ending was poor "

" this book gave me a head ache when i was reading it. are there really people who are that stupid? "

" A real page turner. The movie failed to it justice. "

" Easy read, and for the first 200 pages I was really into it. By the end of the book I was celebrating having finished it. Was just too drawn out. Nothing special, but not terrible either. "

" I think its a very descriptive book, but I dont like the fact that the main character killed so many people but hardly felt the guilt even when he killed his own brother. "

" Well written novel with predictable turn of events. "

" The writing was good BUT....What a depressing piece of CRAP! This story was wretched. It made me sick. The main character was awful and his wife was even worse. Twisted and disturbing. "

" What a terrific thriller. The movie was damn good, too! "
