The Expats: A Novel Audiobook

" Just ok. As a thriller goes this one had all the necessary parts. I had to do a little skimming because it was a bit overly detailed in some areas, but generally a good story. The characters could have been a bit more developed to make them more believable. "

" Workmanlike thriller, with too many elements spelled out in obvious terms for the reader. "

" I liked this book better when I started remembering that it kept changing from present to the past and back again and back again, etc. I got a bit bogged down in the middle but wasn't sure if it was the book or my life, lol. Great story, kept me guessing til the end. A great debut novel, kudos to Mr. Pavone. I would definitely read another book by him. "

" The book is gripping, although towards the end you know where the story is going. However, I still kept reading to be sure if I was correct. "

" Surprisingly good - I wasn't expecting it to be. A very well written spy thriller. Would highly recommend. "

" I listened to the audio book, the story jumped between time periods and I couldn't tell if this was a fault of the book or if it didn't work well as an audiobook. It was still entertaining and had some good twists and turns. "

" I would have given it 3 stars but the observations about the expat experience and their travels in Europe was enjoyable to read, as an ex-expat myself "

" Read it reasonably quickly must have gripped but felt as others have said that the changes of time and were to frequent and badly highlighted. It also seemed a little clunky and could have done with better editing. "

" Not the kind of thing I usually read, but it was a real page turner. "

" I'd give it three and a half stars if I could. Very entertaining. "

" This was a great fast moving book with a crappy ending. I just can't get over a bad ending. "

" I gave this about 100 pages and then gave up. It was very slow-moving, not much suspense and hard to follow. "

" Ooh, I loved this book about a former CIA agent who leaves The Agency to become a stay at home mom who moves to Luxenbourg for her husband's mysterious job. Of course her past has a way of catching up with her... "

" This was a very quick, enjoyable read. I like that there was a mystery unraveling, but at the same time an exploration of marriage and the value of honesty over self-protection. "

" It could have been better. The suspense was in the wrong place and all the questions that came into my mind were answered before they came to mind. It could possibly make a good film if all the "today" parts were taken out and made into one ending. "

" A fun quick read...but lacking a bit with respect to consistency. "

" I could not put this book down. Very predictable but entertaining. "

" 353 pages and I hated the ending. "

" Espionage novels are always interesting! "

" The FBI always gets its computer hacker "

" 3-1/2, really. I could not put this book down but the structure detracted from the story. "

" Loved it! It was the perfect read for France '13. "

" A good one to two night read... "

" Can't resist that new book shelf at the library! Fun, quick read. "

" An entertaining page turner, but be sure to check your disbelief at the door. "
