Firestorm Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I've read all of Nevada Barr's books and this is definitely my favorite. The fire scene is incredible. you really feel like you are there. "

" Nevada Barr took a new direction with this installment of the Anna Pidgeon series. Instead of a story that played out over a week or two, this all happens in about 72 hours. Also, she switches back & forth to another character's perspective besides Anna's. Well done. The only part I didn't like is that she has a large group of characters, and refers to them alternately by their first & last names. I felt I needed to have a cheat sheet with me to figure out who she was talking about moment to moment. Still, she continues to entertain me. "

" The mystery itself was just too contrived and obvious, unfortunately. However, Barr's descriptions of firefighting work in national parks and of the bureaucracy of various organizations on public land was excellent. As always, the scenery was its own beautifully detailed character. "

" Anna Pigeon, the forest ranger, is trapped by the fire with the rest of her crew and a dead body. The descriptions seemed very realistic. I have read a couple of these and this was the best. "

" This was the first of her books I read. I enjoyed it so much I went back & picked up the previous ones, & now eagerly await each new addition to the Anna Pigeon series. A true insider's view of our National Parks, I enjoy the different perspective on the parks we've visited, & an introduction to the ones we haven't. She really knows how to get your heart pounding. "

" Since we visited Lassen Volcanic National Park this summer, I especially enjoyed this book and could envision the scenes (and bubbling mud pots) vividly. "

" This one is a favorite of mine of Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon when it deals with survival of a winter fire. It had some twists and turns of excitement for a great page-turner. A must read. "

" Entertaining and cinematic. Enjoyable, but my standards for mystery/thrillers have gone way up since The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo trilogy "

" One of Barr's better ones. Surprised I missed it years ago. "

" Being a Californian, this one struck close to home. I learned a lot about back-country fire fighting in reading this book. "

" My Dad worked as a fire fighter when I was a kid - this book brought back memories of the yellow nomex shirts & green pants he had to wear - as well as the pulaski he kept in the garage. "

" This was another good Nevada Barr selection of the Anna Pigeon Series. I have since read "Blind Pursuit," which was even better than Firestorm. If you've never read Nevada Barr, I recommend this series and it is worth while to go back to the very first one, written in the 1990's "

" twisting mystery, graphic and humorous "

" I'm definitely getting more into these. This one was brilliant, again leaving me second guessing who-dun-it. "

" Library book. Kept my interest, didn't know the killer until the end. "

" A forest fire in a park in Nevada. This book seemed to go nowhere; too many characters moving in and out. I think it reinforces the fact that I'm not a big fan of mysteries. "

" Did not like this one as much as previous books. Looking forward to rest of the series. "

" Cheesy but a fun read. I could easily relate. "

" I like Anna Pigeon. I think I would enjoy her job, especially when she is dealing with animals in the wild. Wouldn't be so keen on getting caught in a fire storm or threatened by a killer. "

" Grand adventure and suspense with Anna Pigeon, intrepid park ranger working behind the lines as an EMT in a huge fire...thanks to a friend I have a whole stack of novels by Nevada Barr...what a great way to spend summer evenings. "

" My first Anna Pigeon story and I liked the book very much. I like Anna. She feels real. I like the fact that Nevada Barr is a Park Ranger. She writes about Park Ranger experiences. I am a romantic-I think Nevada is Anna! She is having some exhilirating experiences. "

" A tense closed group puzzler, but it's a shame Lassen is just the backdrop as it's one of my favorite parks in California. "

" This is an OK book. A good summer mystery. "

" I really am enjoying the Nevada Barr Anna Pigeon mysteries. They are somewhat similar but I love learning about the various National Parks. Anna Pigeon is a fun character. Although I envision her a little differently than she is described. "

" this is my favorite Nevada Barr book. It is a murder mystery, so don't expect great literature from it. But the descriptions of the fire, and being stranded really resonated with me. I have read this twice, and I still enjoyed it the second time. "

" Another good Nevada Barr read. I enjoyed how Anna solved this mystery with outside but long distant help. The way emotions are described are, once again to the author's credit. Have started the next book and am continuing to enjoy the adventures of Anna Pigeon. "

" I have a hard time picturing a world devoid of color and dimension but the story itself was good. "

" One of my favorite books ever, by my favorite author! "

" Anna's Ordeal is a little different in this one, and we get no sense of the wonder of a park. Read it, you'll see. "

" Since we visited Lassen Volcanic National Park this summer, I especially enjoyed this book and could envision the scenes (and bubbling mud pots) vividly. "

" Excellent story. The firestorm adds to the tension, very well written "

" The mystery itself was just too contrived and obvious, unfortunately. However, Barr's descriptions of firefighting work in national parks and of the bureaucracy of various organizations on public land was excellent. As always, the scenery was its own beautifully detailed character. "

" As a forest fire-fighter, I really enjoyed this book. "
