The Hanged Man's Song Audiobook

" Loved this book. To my knowledge, this is the first John Sandford book I've read. I know I've never read any of the Kidd novels. Enjoyed the characters very much and was sad when I finished the book simply because the story was over. I'll definitely look for more by this author and read more of the Kidd series. "

" Sanford is most well known for his "Prey" series, but this features a different protagonist, a painter/hacker/thief named Kidd, and his frequent accomplice/love interest LuEllen. In this story, a crippled hacker is killed in rural Mississippi (where most hackers live) and his lap top full of a life time of political investigation dynamite is stolen. Our heroes team up with local activists to track down the killer. This is not War and Peace. However, it was a fast and fun read once I bought into the premise. The discussion of life underground was pretty interesting and the book does touch on some social issues about privacy, government surveillance and so on. "

" I really enjoy the Kidd books. This was an exceptional one if you're a computer geek. "

" Another of Sanford's characters, Kidd, and his cohort, LuEllen, find themselves dealing with politicians in the world of computers and murder. You can't beat Sanford! "

" I really liked this last book, too bad it is the last. I wish the author would have kept this series going. Good book. "

" I liked this one better than Night Crew which I finished Sunday, also by Sandford. This one had a tighter story with more suspense. Being a technothriller, it was funny how dated the technology is in it even only being 6 years old. Good light read though. "

" Very entertaining and easy to read. Sandford's Kidd and his sidekick Lou Ellen are back at it again and if you're not already a fan, it's hard not to be one by the end of the book "

" love the "Prey" books too "

" This may be my favorite Sandford novel, behind Rules of Prey and Chosen Prey "

" John Sanford is a favorite author. The Kidd stories are okay - written very well, but it's not Lucas Davenport! "

" A cyber thriller with occasional flashes of real humor. "

" Did not like the characters "

" I love the Lucas Davenport series by this author, but the Kidd series-NOT SO MUCH. Don't know if I will give the rest of the series a shot or not. "

" Lousy, didn't finish. "

" Great book with a lot of twisted and turns which is Sandford's style. I recommend this with five stars "

" not that good. Lots of interesting techie talk and a few fandom murders. yawn-ish. "

" I had shied away from reading John Sandford's other series because I'm such a big fan of the Prey books. Although this one is quite a bit different (more of a political-technology thriller), I ended up really enjoying it. I'll have to look for the others in this series. "

" My second Kidd novel. Enjoyed very much. "

" Good; continuing character: Kidd and LuEllen. When one of their hacker friends is killed, Kidd and company start to trace back and find computer files being kept on influential people and bad guys in Washington DC; a little high on the tech talk. "

" BOT, this was a good story. Very unexpected. "

" Last of the Kidd novels to date. "

" Great book, great writer, great series "

" The best of the Kidd series by far. If you read any of the books in the series make it this one. "

" I've read it before. Its a nice distraction. "

" Hard to put down and moves quickly. Elements of the story were predictable, but most were not. I may even read it again someday "

" Great book. One of the Kidd series. "

" not that good. Lots of interesting techie talk and a few fandom murders. yawn-ish. "

" Another of Sanford's characters, Kidd, and his cohort, LuEllen, find themselves dealing with politicians in the world of computers and murder. You can't beat Sanford! "

" Computer hacker mystery that keeps you guessing and teaches you how vunerable you are because our lives really are "on-line". "

" I liked this one better than Night Crew which I finished Sunday, also by Sandford. This one had a tighter story with more suspense. Being a technothriller, it was funny how dated the technology is in it even only being 6 years old. Good light read though. "

" In enjoyed the Kidd and LuEllen series, though they now come across as dated. I wouldn't at all mind it if Sandford resurrected these characters, but then he's got his hands full with Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers. "

" Really enjoyed Sandford bringing back Kidd and Luellen- been too many years. "

" Sandford has a minor series that revolves around the cards in a Tarot deck. This is the best in that series. Some of his standalone novels are great also. "

" This is the last of the Kidd novels. It is always exciting to see Kidd, LuEllen, John and Marvel work togther. The villain is much more sadistic than usual and the crime is far more heinous. Fast, fun read. "
