The Devil's Punchbowl Audiobook

" Greg Iles make characters come alive from start to finish. His storytelling is wonderful and the subject matter of this entire series is something close to my heart. You will get full invested in the characters. You come to feel as if you know them and the trials they go through on a daily basis, "

" Wow.....what a nail biter! "

" Standard Gregg Iles. A little dark and a bit long but still a good read. "

" Finally a different subject but still the suspense type book. Will read the next in the series. "

" Cliffhanger!! And no new book for me to read after?? ARGH!!!! "

" Another great book by Greg Iles. This book grabs your attention from the very beginning, and you find yourself eager to finish it. The historical references, which usually add to the storyline, were sometimes annoying; but, only because I wanted to find out what would happen next and didn't want to wait. "

" This is darker than most of his others. He still weaves a good tale but I found it less enjoyable. "

" New author for me and he merits another look. However, The Devil's Punchbowl is not for the tender nor the faint of heart, and I will reserve judgment until I have read a few more works. "

" Very graphic and uncomfortable to read. "

" Sort of a disturbing topic. But still a great read. "

" It's fun to see Penn Cage at it again... This one's definitely dirtier/grainier than some of the others in the Natchez series... If you have any feelings for pets, you'll struggle with sections of this book. The bad guys are definitely bad this time... "

" I like the main character, Penn Cage. He has a sort of hero complex but it is one of the most believable hero-type characters I've read about recently. He is backed up by a lineup of other believable characters, although I wish he had given several of them more detail. Overall an excellent book "

" Greg does a great job with the suspense and web weaving that goes on in the southern town of Natchez, Mississippi. The believable peril and brutality that goes on is far below the surface of this quiet river town but he makes it feel very real indeed. "

" This is his third book about Penn Cage. I would recommend reading them in order although it is not really neccessary to do so. He tells a really good, suspenseful story. They can get pretty graphic and brutal, so if that would bother you, these are not the books for you. "

" This was very good once I started couldn't put it down "

" Great book! Hard to put down! "

" Iles is a master of suspense. He makes the Deep South come alive and I love his Penn Cage character. This book didn't disappoint. It moved right along at a fast clip from the very first page in the graveyard. "

" I really like Greg Iles' writing, especially this series. "

" I've read all Greg Isles books and I place this one on top! Many characters return in this Penn Cage novel....Caitlyn,Kelly,Shad Johnson,Chief Logan to name a few. Takes off right from the first page, and never slows down. "

" a fun but lengthy read. If you're from Natchez,as I am, then it it peaks your interest a little more. THe prose is ordinary & the story a little outrageous (like all of the Penn Cage books)but a nice book to pass the time "

" I had to finish this book the day I started it. Great Read. "

" excellent. sometimes tough to read (why is it so much harder for me to read about cruelty to animals than to people?), but reliably satisfying ending, and plenty of twists to keep you on your toes. "

" Great page turner. "

" Good book, a little too dramatic in parts, but it still managed to keep my attention for almost 600 pages. Looking forward to the next book with these same characters. "

" Disturbing subject matter (dog fighting, and graphic violence) but brutally honest. Could not out this book down. "

" This is another Grandma Shirley book. It's way, way over the top. "

" The Devil's Punchbowl was a long book. Even with the length, the story was well-paced and had a great story /plot line. There were spots that I just wanted Greg Iles to get on with it, but I did enjoy the book. "

" this penn cage novel is superbly written...cant wait untill the release of his next book on 12/2011 "

" Pretty good,story moves well but really wished Simpson had to answer for his actions "

" Good writer, suspenseful book, but too long and I don't like reading about torture of animals and humans. "

" Good read, but very brutal. Dog fighting, rape, etc. "

" Penn Cage is my favorite series character and it seems by the ending Mr Iles will write another one. "

" Kept me interested, but not captivated.... looking for more of what I loved in Footprints of God by same. "

" Definitely some tough subject matter but it was so intriguing! I don't think I slept until I finished it. I think he is writing another book to finish the story from this one. "

" I have read and enjoyed 7 previous books by Iles but this one was a big, meandering mess. Way too long, 2 or 3 hundred pages could have been edited out to make a tight thriller but as it is it's just all over the place. I will not stop reading any of his books but this one was a huge disappoinment. "
