Something Missing Audiobook

" I loved the main character, Martin. I'm sure that everyone that reads this novel will agree that the strongest parts of the book come from sympathizing with the main character and his OCD tendencies. But there were parts of the book that were a little difficult to read; the dialogue between characters when discussing something meaningful. When Martin speaks to his father, the interchange is so stale and formulaic -- it really stood out for me. That being said, I had a great time with this character and his interesting line of work. "

" Quirky, different...I liked it. "

" What a fun read----with parts that are very suspenseful. "

" So much fun! This is a cute, quirky book. I embarrassed myself two times by laughing out loud in public while reading! "

" A Readers' Choice selection from the library. Who's on the selection committee? "

" Superfun book that follows the escapades of a thief, with OCD, as he visits homes in the Farmington valley. Funny, suspenseful and unique. I look forward to reading more books by this author. "

" A likeable protagonist and a pleasingly detailed approach to housebreaking, but I wanted to edit in a lot of places. "

" I loved the premise for the story though I feel like the writing could have been more advanced. "

" At first I was weirded out by the main character, but as the book progressed I found his quirks hilarious, and really enjoyed him. Great, entertaining book! "

" You can't help rooting for Martin and his "clients." "

" I liked this book, but I have trouble with books that make me feel sympathetic towards a thief. "

" Burglar with regular clients. "

" Very fun and unique story. I liked it a lot. "

" This was a good read. It was original, clever, and kept me wondering if the author had some experience as a thief because it was so detailed. It's almost like an instruction manual. It was funny and well written. "

" Career criminal with OCD whose thefts started simply to feed himelf after being kicked out of his home - this becomes a love story which is absolutely charming. Three cheers for originality!!! "

" This was a good summer read. The author spent alot of time describing the main character, Martin's OCD but as the story unravels you understand why. Very funny. "

" Quirky crime "

" I got a preview copy from my local bookstore. It's a quirky little book, and the ending isn't what I expected, but not a bad read at all. "

" this is the third book i've read by Matthew Dicks, a real master of technical details and portraying dark secrets in the most loving way "

" Good summer read/airplane book. It did make me think about stepping in to help when you don't know the person or when you aware that someone is going to make mistake and doesn't realize it. "

" It's a very interesting idea, and the descriptions of Martin's activities are compelling. Unfortunately, the plot follows the very obvious path of events forcing changes, and these events are less believable - even contrived - leaving a final sense of disappointment. "

" This book was just OK for me but I didn't care for the ending nor did I think it was believable. "

" The book dragged a bit at times -- the author is depicting a meticulous and obsessive-compulsive character, so he sometimes becomes bogged down in the details of the characters career -- but it was one of the most original and entertaining books I've read in a long time. "

" This is book has a clever premise and is pretty funny. It's a quick read that I would recommend. "

" This was definitely entertaining, but the concept is pretty creepy. I enjoyed this book. "

" This was a light, clever, funny book about an OCD thief who makes repeat visits to his "clients". Not bad. "

" This book was recommended by Bethany Scott quite a while ago & I'm glad I finally got around to reading it. It was a quick, light piece, quirky & amusing. I also had to give it an extra star for the mere fact the main character uses a d10 to randomize some of his decisions! "

" I like lead characters with quirks which would seem to set them at a disadvantage. Think Monk if he were a thief. It was a pretty nice read, funny parts along with an ending that made me feel good. "

" Fun book. Good for just a easy read when you want something light. "

" A wonderful, quirky read with a fabulous ending. "

" A fun, quirky novel about a lifetime professional thief with OCD who steals everyday household supplies that nobody would ever notice are missing. "

" It is a very well written, clever book that I enjoyed a lot. However it leaves the romantic plot unresolved at the end. "

" Started off soooooo slow for me. Picked up a bit at the very end "
