Talk Talk Audiobook

" INteresting mystery attached to a very real problem of identity theft. Thrilling and interesting at same time. Add that the main character is deaf, truly a good book. "

" A quick but compelling read. Finished it in a weekend. "

" I just like everything T C Boyle writes. I think he is one of the most talented yet under celebrated writers around (I mean, Twilight compared to this kind of writing?) Who else would choose a deaf woman as a protagonist? "

" About identity theft and a deaf woman. "

" I gave this book three stars because two-and-a-half isn't an option. Starts out very cooL Smart hearing impaired woman gets arrested and thrown into jail over the weekend because some crook had stolen her identity -- committing crimes and going on spending spree. When she gets out she starts to sort though the mess caused by the theft, some problems a direct consequence and others indirect. Still very good. The "authorities" are no help at all. Still very good. When she starts to take direct action, however, the quality of the story suffers. "

" Total page-turner. Some guy steals a deaf woman's identity? Only Boyle could come up with this stuff. Fun read, light. "

" I am listening to this and it has kept me entertained through 5 states and back again. "

" I enjoyed this book thoroughly all the way through, then the ending was completely flat and unsatisfying. "

" I listened to this book while cleaning the garage...it definitely made cleaning the garage easier. The author read the book which also made it more engaging. However, the ending was a disappointment, a little too realistic. "

" I love TC Boyle. He has an amazing viewpoint and vocabulary and he writes about towns along the Hudson River- setting that are close to my heart "

" Cat and mouse comes of age in this edgy fast paced tale of stolen identities and the levels people will go to reclaim whats been taken from them. "

" I was totally sucked into this book, and I finished it after only a few days - but I have to say that I was disappointed by the ending. "

" Basically, a mystery/thriller that takes you on a chase to clear the name of an innocent. Interesting for what it was, but it was way too long, with not enough of a return for the time invested. "

" An entertaining, and yet frightening story. We've had some identity (not outright theft or fraud) issues in our family, and a lot of people can probably relate. The ending was a real disappointment though. I may just be too dense to extrapolate what was the outcome of the protagonists' relationship. "

" Compelling, actually somewhat disturbing. "

" An O.K. cross-country chase with an unsatisfying finish. The insight into the life of a non-hearing person was interesting. "

" This novel is about identity theft, and consumerism and has the slightly far-fetched plot that fans of T.C.Boyle will likely recognize. It's not a terrible book, and pretty good for a book club discussion, but the ending left me unsatisfied and the characters never made me fall in love with them. "

" TC Boyle does it again! Really, really fascinating novel with good representation of a minority character (the protagonist, Dana, is d/Deaf), excellent pacing, and it's beautifully written. EXCELLENT. "

" Another great TC Boyle.this one a bit of a mystery to plot. Language,love,identity..main topics and interestingly woven thru. "

" While I've liked TC Boyle before, this book failed to capture my attention past the first few chapters. The writing was poor and got boring pretty quickly. "

" I must be too used to thrillers on the television, because this was not what I expected. TC Boyle is a genius. "

" Birthday gift from my mom-very well written story of a deaf girl who has her identity stolen-sort of a mystery/ but presnts both sides and has a happy ending. I liked it a lot. "

" it made me want to take a sign language class "

" I love TC Boyle. He has an amazing viewpoint and vocabulary and he writes about towns along the Hudson River- setting that are close to my heart "

" pretty good, but didn't like the ending "

" I always love TC Boyle. As weird as he is, his writing is timely and makes you think. Highly recommend this novel about identity theft. "

" I loved this book. Boyle takes us to places that are amazing, with characters that pop off the page. He's one of the best contemporary writers we have. Always a pleasure. Whether it's a novel or a short story, I'm never disappointed. "

" I liked it. It was very tense from the first chapter and the momentum kept building. However, I thought the climax was too drawn out and the ending unsatisfying. "

" Horrible disappointment. Absolutely no pay off. "

" T.C. Boyle must have used a bunch of creative juice when he wrote this book, but it just did not speak to me so much. It did however fill a couple of lazy afternoons and for that I am appreciative. "

" Scary how true this could be. It is a page turner! "

" I liked it better than 'The Women' but not my favorite author or genre. "

" I listened to this book while cleaning the garage...it definitely made cleaning the garage easier. The author read the book which also made it more engaging. However, the ending was a disappointment, a little too realistic. "
