The Devil of Nanking Audiobook

" Hate intermittent flash backs. Good informational. "

" I would not normally choose to read a thriller which borders on the horror side of writing. However I am so glad that I was encouraged to read this. The book took an interesting approach of someone with very little worldly sense and showed the horrors of the war crimes committed in Nankin as she could uncover them. Along side this you have her supporting her journey of discovery and the man who has the answers and his journey in to being able to share his knowledge with her. "

" This book has flaws but the final paragraph is so poignant that I'm still thinking about it a week later. "

" agonizing, dark, and fabulous. "tilt your face towards the sun because ... in this world none of us has very long." The Devil of Nanking by Mo Hayder "

" Like the intense thrillers by Philip Kerr, The Devil of Nanking is a sophisticated suspense story that delves deep into the darkness of the human psyche. An English woman travels to Japan in search of rare film footage from the Nanking Massacre in 1937. Her quest leads her on a harrowing journey through the Tokyo underworld. Mo Hayder, with precision and an eye for historical detail, has crafted a haunting and stunning story of terrible beauty. "

" Before this I never knew about Nanking and it is so so so sad of whatever happened there. Even though its fictional the history facts of Nanking is true. The author wrote it in a very simple way but in a good way. I recommend this book to the readers out there. Its worth a read. "

" Great read incorporating fact and fiction. Mo pulls no punches when it comes to graphic content and I find all her books exciting and hard to put down. "

" very different. not for everyone "

" Spine-tingling and creepy. Thrillers are not usually in my forte, but I plowed through this one. Still not sure if this was because it was so good or because I wanted it to be over with... "

" Not quite as Mary Higgins Clark-ly suspenseful as Mary Higgins Clark, whose writing I hate. Less successfully hated isn't so bad I guess. But I really didn't like it. "

" a must-read! i loved this book, keeps you guessing and has some crazyy shit going on. "

" This book is sooooo gloriously weird. A young girl goes in search of the truth of the invasion of China by the Japanese. I have read that these horrific crimes encountered by the people of Nanking are actually true. It is a very disturbing book but well worth reading. "

" ghoulish. cliffhangers at end of nearly every chapter either build tension or numb you from it. "

" Very slow going until the end. Found the jumps between the 2times/stories frustrating "

" It was a page-turner, that I'll give you, but definitely not for the faint of heart. "

" A good, creepy read with a very unusual protagonist driven by a very unusual history. "

" Probably one of the most disturbing, thought provoking novels that I've ever read. Fascinating characters and history. A must read. "

" One of the most gripping book club selections I have ever read. Amazing story. "

" Memorable & disturbing. This is hard to put down - but also not too gory! "

" This was so interesting that I actually had to stop listening so I could research Nanking and it's history in 1937-1939. History calls it "The Forgotten Holocaust". And the reader on this audio is excellent. "

" This is really two and half stars I think. I kept me on edge and I stayed up late to finish the thing - but in terms of decent character development and holy coincidence batman - it rates pretty poor on the credibility scale. Really relies on gore to do its thing. "

" Couldn't put it down, enough said. "

" I like the way the way everything is set and how creepy feeling that seeps through the setting as the story progresses. Very well done. "

" A page-turner, interesting material, but so implausible. I never learned enough about the narrator's past to sympathize with her or understand the obsession that drives her through this plot. "

" This was so interesting that I actually had to stop listening so I could research Nanking and it's history in 1937-1939. History calls it "The Forgotten Holocaust". And the reader on this audio is excellent. "

" This book is now special to me, I do not believe I will ever read a better book then Tokyo! "

" It was a page-turner, that I'll give you, but definitely not for the faint of heart. "

" Awesome. A real page-turner. Very original. "

" Great read incorporating fact and fiction. Mo pulls no punches when it comes to graphic content and I find all her books exciting and hard to put down. "
