The Dollmaker Audiobook (Unabridged)

" this was great i loved the villian he was a great classic nutcase!! "

" This book for me is a 3.5 star. What does that mean? It means that it is a good book and I would recommend it. However, it was not overly original. The reason I did not give it four stars is because I was never suprised by what happened next. (I'm the type of person who NEVER figures out what is going on!) It was pretty straight forward. No brainer. I kept seeing this play out in my head like I was watching a movie. The only problem with that is I expect a little more from a book. With all of that being said, I would recommend the book I just wouldn't expect to be blown away. "

" Big fan of this Author's Graveyard Queen series. This book was totally not my cup of tea. I had to force myself to finish it. I thought it was draggy, I didn't like any of the characters, it had dead little children and the most action happened in the last 10 pages then it just ended. With hardly any resolutions. Can't recommend this book but try the author's others. "

" The Dollmaker wasn't an awful read. It was average. The story was interesting, but the execution of the story was extremely slow. Acually if the parts I scan through were removed, the book would have been a bit above average. "

" Claire and Dave seem to barely living their lives years after the aftermath of their daughter getting kidnapped. Both have seemingly moved on, but only at the surface, neither had really done anything that allowed them to move on, until Claire glimpse a doll that looks like their daughter. After this their lives start to intersect again with all the things that had been going on in their lives brought out for reexamination. It is during this time that Claire and Dave find out what the other had been hiding from each other along with their own secret agony that they were the one responsible for the horrible act. As the close in on what exactly happened to Ruby they discover people have betrayed them at all turns and maybe there might be a second chance for them after all. "

" A decent quick read. It's pretty predictable and chock full of " N'awlins " cliches (crawfish, dixieland bands, voodoo, etc), but it was nice to read something that requires little thought after my finals were over. "

" I enjoyed The Restorer more. Still, this wasn't bad. I would have enjoyed it more if there had been more focus on solving the kidnapping; that felt very rushed at the end. There isn't a real feeling of closure. "

" I loved this book but I did not like how it the book ended. "

" Very good book. Was surprised at the end. Hard for me to find a book that surprises me at the end. "

" Great author, but I only rated a four because it seemed like the ending was too quick and left a lot of unanswered questions. "

" This book has a wonderfully imaginative premise and well crafted characters. Not as strong on either suspense or chills as I would have expected from reading the cover blurbs, but a story worth reading nonetheless. "

" This was an interesting book. It took a long time to tie to the various plot lines together. The ending was then very abrupt. "

" This book did not turn out to be as good as I thought it would. It was an interesting concept, but I felt the story plodded along & then wrapped up in a quickie ending. "

" Creepy as hell...in a good way. My first Amanda Steven novel and I loved every bit of it. "

" This was a slow moving book for me. I had a hard time to keep reading it, but I hate not finishing a book "

" I enjoyed it but felt the ending left me with questions. "

" I LOVED IT!! It was sort of typical to most thriller/horror/mystery books, but still exquisitely written and laid out. "

" I liked the aspect of police corruption that was a secondary plot throughtout the novel. "

" I found this rather dissapointing. The story seemed choppy and then it just sort of ended, without any explanation (at least for me). "

" Blehhhhh. It takes 15 chapters to get Dave on the case and the ending is WEAK. Don't bother. "

" Amanda has a way of making you want to read more. She carries her characters well and takes you into the book. Lesa "
