The Executor Audiobook

" A bit of a disappointment really. The plot took a long time to unfold and was totally unrealistic. A series of hard-to-believe events lead the main character to murder and prison and the story finishes quite unsatisfactorily. "

" Probably more towards 3.5 stars. Not what I expected. More of a moral story than anything else. "

" The Executor by Jesse Kellerman was a good book. But a little slow for me. There were parts that did keep you wanting to read and kept your interest to the end. Overall an ok book. "

" This book took a long time to grab my attention, I could only read it little bits at a time. Then after a couple hundred pages it began to get interesting. The author was moving from character development into the actual mystery/ thriller part, when the writing style changed. It threw off the building suspense for a bit, then reverted back. Overall it was not an easy read, which was most likely due to the fact I didn't care for the main character at all. "

" The first half of the book was great. But the ending was bad. The author wasn't true to the character and just jumped ahead and finished the book quickly. I was really mad by the time I finished it. "

" Nothing good can ever come out of a philosophy degree. "

" look how much i know writing style which really put me off. i don't know what the mystery was and i was 75% thru. too slow moving and pretentious for me. "

" Ho- Hum pretty predictable!! "

" I haven't been able to finish this book yet but. So far it has been pretty long winded and not very capturing. I will pick it up again someday but at this point I don't have the patience for the style of writing. "

" I liked the book overall, but parts of it were really slow, dull. The plot is a good one, I guess. Never could, however, figure out his reasons to start killing, even realizing he was unstable. The step from unstable to murder did not make a lot of sense to me. "

" This was a disturbing piece that takes the reader into the mind of an obsessive personality. "

" This was a fast paced story that captured me on the first page. "

" Entertaining & clever. "

" PhD candidate (in philosophy) answers ad in local paper for a conversationalist. The invalid spinster who seeks engaging conversation ends up also offering our protaganist a room in her home. Enter a ne'er-do-well nephew and conflict ensues, particularly after the invalid spinster dies. "

" Easy read, not exciting though, wouldn't recommend it "

" Good, not great. Probably would give it 3.5 stars if permitted. The philosophical slant was interesting but tended to overwhelm the story at times and made it less suspenseful at the wrong times. Overall, though, a good read with a satisfying ending. "

" This one just ok "

" Poor. "

" A book about a loser who goes bad. ugh. I won't waste my time with any more of this author's books. "

" Amazing!!!<br/><br/>The reviews don't lie--this starts out fun, and descends into madness like a great Hitchcock film. And, if you're an academic, philosopher, or love playing with words, language and ideas--big bonus. "

" A crazy ride... a bit violent and demented but well written. "

" Nothing good can ever come out of a philosophy degree. "

" Philosopher befriends old lady, and she leaves him her house and belongings in her will. He kills her nephew during a break in at his house, then the cleaner when she finds out. Why does he cover up said murders? His unhinging portrayed well. But... "

" Not nearly as good as his other books. I did not relate to any characters, especially the main one. "

" I liked the story-line and the change of pace during the book, but it was nothing to shout about. "

" Good, not great. Probably would give it 3.5 stars if permitted. The philosophical slant was interesting but tended to overwhelm the story at times and made it less suspenseful at the wrong times. Overall, though, a good read with a satisfying ending. "

" Very slow, boring and lack of anything interesting. Didn't like the main character and the writing style really started to grate on me, with the directness of the conversations (&quot;I said nothing.&quot;). "

" An intelligent psychological thriller. Voted one of the best crime novels by the New York Times "

" I had a hard time getting into this one, especially after Alma is killed off. I stopped reading after the graveside scene and while I wish I could have felt more into it, I'm not going to beat myself up over not choking it all down. Maybe too much &quot;high flautin'&quot; thinking in it for me? "
