At First Sight: A Novel of Obsession Audiobook

" This may very well be my favourite Cannell book to date. Sad that the author died not long ago because he was a fantastic writer. This story, although often predictable, was still suspenseful and entertaining; a real page-turner. The characters were excellent. My audio version was narrated by Scott Brick, who is always a phenomenal narrator! "

" I couldn't put it down. Like watching a train wreck, I just had to see the end. Quick and twisted funny. "

" I loved it, my wife hated it. We are both big fans of Cannell. "

" A good lesson for anyone thinking of straying, this novel took on an interesting (and not necessarily in a good way) yet maddening treatment. I found the view point shifts jarring until the author finally broke down the latter chapters to reflect the view points of the two adversarial characters. The unlikeable protagonist is still intriguing enough to stick with the story, but the ending was predictable compared to the author's lead-in, which promised (and didn't quite measure up to) a unique/different treatment from his previous books. Still, Cannell can tell a story, and that's why I'll stick with him even though this isn't his best. "

" Awful. If I had read this instead of listening, I would have quit. Mean characters who drew no sympathy and were totally self centered. I cheered when it was over. "

" This book was very much eh. Completely predictable. I think I called every turn. Could make for an okay mindless beach read maybe. "

" Akin to the John McDonnell series of the 70's. Light detective mystery. Mid-life crisis gone overboard for this guy. "

" Great fast moving plot. The end was fun. I will read another of his books! "

" I love his Shane Scully novels, and I think he should stick with those. I found this book uninteresting. "

" One of the better mystery/suspense books I've read. The author does a good job of getting you inside the main character's head and thoughts. "

" Started OK until the main character went crazy then the book was annoying. You can stop half way through and be ok. "

" listened to audio book as requirement for book club. Stupid plot with self centered stupid main character. Did Not like this one. "

" Halfway between a whining Woody Allen (Forgive me Allen fans) and "10" this book falls flat. You want to tell the main characters to "grow up" or "grow a backbone." Yuck. "

" Don't think I've ever read a book from this perspective. Not sure how I liked it. "

" Very very funny, sarcastic, dark, twisted, and a total page turner! I finished this fantastic book in a few hours. "

" Book contained factual errors about Big Bear. I used to live in Big Bear, owned a restaurant there and sold real estate there. "

" Funny, funny, funny...if you think that murder is funny then this book is for you. Cannell's writing style is hilarious at times and at times its delirious, but it works great in this book. "

" I almost put this one down because the main character was so wimpy. It ended up being a pretty good thriller. "

" I enjoyed this book. Easy to read, kept me interested. "

" He should have taken the advice he outlined in page Viii in his introduction "The book nobody wanted me to write" "

" The covers says, "A Novel of Obession." It's not good to be obsess with a woman. Chick learns the hard way. "

" Very unique perspectives in the novel. I really enjoyed reading it. "

" It ain't the Rockford Files "

" I probably should have stopped reading after the first chapter. I didn't like the protagonist, which the author certainly intended. The problem was I never liked the victims either. Very predictable and many contrived situations that put the heroine in danger. "
