So Cold the River: Booktrack Edition Audiobook

" Very interesting story and take on a ghost story. "

" This is the first book written by this author that I've read and I have to say I'm really impressed. This book was an excellent read. Fab plot, lots of twists and turns. Can't wait to read more of Michael's books. "

" Well written and author knows the area or researched the area very well. I liked the suspense of the supernatural happenings/events. Characters well thought out. "

" Although I'm only 200 pages in, this book is surprisingly good. I have never read a book by kortya, but now that I've enjoys this I might... It has a lot of suspense and good plot "

" I feel like I should have liked this novel better than I did. It had a gothicky plot and feel, the kind of story I like. But the prose and storytelling were just a little more clunky and unsophisticated than I was expecting. On the other hand, I looked forward to reading it every night and read it pretty steadily. Something about the title, size, and praise page made me think it was a really hefty, great thriller like Child 44, but it didn't rise to that level. "

" I wanted to love this. I tried to love this. I got 2/3 of the way through the book before I quit. And I quit for one reason: I was bored. I stopped and assessed the book and tried to think of what had happened in these many pages I had read. And really, very little. I found I didn't want to pick it up and I didn't really like many of the characters. I was not sure if it was every going to get more actiony or not but I decided to bail. I don't normally write reviews for things I leave off on, but this one seemed to call for it since it had such promise and just ran out of steam long before the end. "

" A wonderfully creepy mystery/thriller about old spa hotels in Indiana, tornadoes, the Depression, and inheritance. "

" An engaging thriller, despite the fact that I didn't really like the protagonist (even before his mind got a little addled). "

" Fantastic. One of the best reads of the summer. "

" Fast-paced mystery with supernatural elements. "

" Good story but slow to build "

" Just found this new author and what a great book. Looking forward to reading his newest! "

" Great story - very spooky - that kept my attention through 12 or 14 discs. Could have done without the sound effects - I thought there was something wrong with my car!! "

" I loved it. Supernatural suspence thriller. Very interesting setting, actually a real place. Not for everyone unless you like suspense with a ghost or 2 thrown in. "

" I found this superficial but I shouldn't be so harsh. Just not my genre- paranormal mystery- of choice. I liked the background of the place though. "

" This book started out with an excellent plot and characters. I'm not sure if you would classify this as a supernatural thriller but it certainly had me on the edge of my seat. The Barnes and Noble review was right on. It did not disappoint me. "

" Really enjoyed this book. I liked the psychic element in it. "

" Not bad. Interesting story, kept me going but I never totally got swept up in it. For some reason premise seemed a little strange. I'd still recommend as thriller/horror but I wasn't blown away. Might just be not quite up my alley. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was engaging from the beginning and the setting made me want to go there and see it for myself. The supernatural element was done just right. This was the perfect book right before Halloween. "

" I read 500 plus pages of a book that i should have put down at 50. The end is exciting the rest I just did not enjoy...although the few weather references were interesting. "

" wow - and yet another book surprises me with it's intensity. A little bit magic, madness and redemption, I plowed through the book to untangle the many threads that created this tale. "

" Love, love, loved it! A thoroughly addictive book that I couldn't put down! "

" Interesting but not a great thriller "

" Really creepy; couldn't put it down for three days!! "

" Interesting listen. Moves fairly quickly. Spooky, but not Stephen King level spooky. Well written and engaging though. Sad, but not crushingly so. Pretty good. "

" This book is comparable to the great suspenseful Stephen King novels. The opening grabs the reader's attention and doesn't let go. I thought the supernatural elements were really only used to advance the story of a filmmaker. "

" This was a suspenseful read but the whole supernatural element of the story just didn't do it for me. "

" I read 500 plus pages of a book that i should have put down at 50. The end is exciting the rest I just did not enjoy...although the few weather references were interesting. "

" This book was awesome couldn't put it down! "

" Odd mystery book - great palate cleanser "

" Downloaded from Audible. Very entertaining! I listened to this on my lunch hour walks. It was such a compelling story, that I even walked on the rainy days! Terrific reader, appropriate sound effects, beautiful music. "

" Weird but convincing narrative of haunted valley in US. "

" The back of the book has Entertainment Weekly comparing this author to Stephen King. Although this story is vaguely creepy it doesn't come close to Stephen King's writing. That said the story was clever but not in an "I can't put it down" kind of way. It was ok. "

" strange, but interesting - I couldn't put it down. "

" Eh. so-so. Amusing enough fora Saturday night. Totally formulaic. "

" this was more like a 3 1/2 star book but it kept my attention throughout and I liked the ending. "

" Paranormal thriller. It could have used some editing. Too long and clunky in parts. It would make a good airport or beach book. "

" Great reading. The story takes place in Southern Indiana (my neck of the woods), at the French Like Resort and West Baden Hotel, so I enjoyed reading about the locale. The book jacket compares Michael Koryta along side Stephen King and Peter Straub. "
