Dead Souls: An Inspector Rebus Novel Audiobook

" Good summer detectivey romp "

" I didn't like it. Gave it the 100-page chance and gave up after that. Also, I decided to give it two stars because although I didn't like the book, not many authors have the courage to take on pedophillia in their books "

" Rankin is always good for a gritty detective yarn, full of dark secrets and bad folks. This one seems to be about three stories in one, but I'm sure they'll all come together in the end! "

" Not the first time I've read this book, but typically for me, I couldn't remember whodunnit or how it ended, so still just as good a read as the first time! Such good books. I love the way Rebus is such a renegade, but his gut feelings/hunches pay off in the end. All the ghosts he carries with him, as well. Quite moving. "

" Ian Rankin's Rebus is always excellent value. His name choices make me laugh - serial killer Cary Oakes in a book featuring kareoke (sp?) is hilarious. "

" I'm still reading through the Rebus series and enjoying them. Add this to the list. "

" Ah! John Rebus... "

" I like a Rebus, entertaining, believable characters and interesting plausible plot. I think I should read them all - ooh challenge! "

" We get deeper into the character of Rebus in this one. Rankin effortlessly weaves together a tapestry of different crimes, which seem unconnected at first. Interesting. I gave this a lower rating because I simply hate stories involving pedophiles. Nope. Can't go there. "

" Just a great read, human and somehow chillingly normal! "

" He is a great detective writer. His hero Rebus is a character who is all too human and very likeable. "

" Liked this one a lot. Sounds creepy, but it was good. Rebus has quite a life. "

" A reasonably satisfying Rebus. Cary Oakes was a clever villain giving rise to some interesting confrontations with the good guys. Some of the other plot lines were a little disjointed, but the story of Rebus's past filled in some missing pieces of the Rebus puzzle. "

" It was ok. Kept my interest. A good beach or airplane mystery. Kinda dark though, but all Ian Rankin books are. "

" The first few books in the Rebus series were only so-so. But he seems to improve with each damn book. And by far, Rebus becomes more three dimensional with each book. I have to finish this series to see where Rebus winds up by the last book in the series. "

" 1 of 21 books for $10. 2/10/12 "

" Quite difficult to get into, perhaps because Rebus is such an odd character (I think). It got moving in the second half and I enjoyed this more. "

" very good book this is the first rebus book i have read. plot good right to the very end "

" Good book but darker than other Rebus mysteries. "

" Not among the best books in the Rebus series, but still pretty good. There’s a lot of plot, as always with Rankin, but I felt the story could have moved at a slightly faster pace.<br/><br/>3,5 stars.<br/> "

" bought this at the drugstore on my way to a swim meet so I'd have something to read while waitin. It was awful, stopped after the first chapter and I'm not one to put down a book without finishing it! "

" It was ok. Kept my interest. A good beach or airplane mystery. Kinda dark though, but all Ian Rankin books are. "

" Non mi ha coinvolto e mi sono annoiata. Rankin non mi piace, nonostante sia uno degli scrittori emergenti del noir britannico. Non credo lo rileggerò. "

" A reasonably satisfying Rebus. Cary Oakes was a clever villain giving rise to some interesting confrontations with the good guys. Some of the other plot lines were a little disjointed, but the story of Rebus's past filled in some missing pieces of the Rebus puzzle. "

" I wasn't completely taken by the narration, but I did enjoy the story. A brilliant ending, but a little slow in parts. Overall fairly good; an enjoyable read, but not a favourite. "

" Possibly the best in the Rebus series thus far, despite a clunky ending and a main adversary who strays into supervillain territory. Aside from that, Dead Souls is wonderfully bleak and well-written. "

" The first few books in the Rebus series were only so-so. But he seems to improve with each damn book. And by far, Rebus becomes more three dimensional with each book. I have to finish this series to see where Rebus winds up by the last book in the series. "
