The Many Deaths of the Firefly Brothers Audiobook

" This book will take you back to the depression without being too gloomy or too criminal glorifying. I enjoyed learning about the struggles of everyone during this era. The brothers interaction was interesting. Like brothers would interact. I wish Whit had more pages but Darcy and Jason were able to carry the story on there own. They were the glamorous side of prohabition and years after. Whit represents the downtrodden trying to fight back. It's worth the read even if it starts slow. "

" Nice mix of period fiction and fantasy. Well written page turner "

" Fun read! Gangster bank robbers in the 30s who keep getting killed and coming back to life. They are just as baffled by their circumstances as the reader. Very enjoyable! "

" Goodness this book was hard to get through. Interesting premise, great characters, but way too much back story that doesn't lead to as much of a shocking end as the writer thinks. "

" Fabulously fun opening and a fun read throughout! "

" Of course I'm biased because I'm a college-chum of the author. Mullen provides a good narrative of Depression era life, but where the book truly shines is in the quiet moments when all three brothers reflect on lives lived, mistakes made, indiscretions forgiven, and what family is worth. "

" If you can get past the magical premise (I'm not giving anything away here, it's in the title), this one is an utterly fascinating study of myths large and small. "

" Empathy can cure many social ills. Mullen tries to voice this notion here in an oddly visual manner. He should be writing movie scripts, making more money, so he can enjoy going off into the sunset in a nicer fashion than his protagonist! Not bad, not fine literature, but a good read. "

" Fairly gripping story with interesting twists but no real sense of going anywhere. Ultimately less satisfying than it promised. "

" a good strong start that unfortunately kind of peters out. great ending though. "

" I really enjoyed this book. Mullen's writing was clever, much more evolved from "The Last Town On Earth". Another "mystical" story, one where I'm still not sure what I believe happened. "

" Bank robbers during the Depression who come back to life. What not to like! Can't say more or it would spoil it. "

" Took an awful long time to get there. "

" A story about two bank-robbing brothers, with a slight supernatural edge. I liked this one more in retrospect than I did when I first read it. I think the author was/is a big fan of the film Public Enemies, because I saw a lot of that film in this novel. Loved the two brothers, though. "

" Fascinating look at the depression era and the mythical bandits. Became a bit repetitive. Those boys should have been real. "

" When is this meeting again?? "

" This books mixes and old-fashioned feel with surreal, in a very believable way! "

" This was quite a story! It wash a bit slow at start but eventually sucked me in. However, there were still too many loose ends at the end. - so I could only give 3 stars. "

" An interesting twist on the 1930s gangster tale. "

" This was a good read. I like how it followed multiple characters and the transitions. Kept you in suspense. "

" This was a good read. I like how it followed multiple characters and the transitions. Kept you in suspense. "

" Good and captivating until about page 275. Then it started to feel "preachy" but seemed to get back on track toward the end. "

" This was a great story but not especially well told. Huge sections of the book were written in bizarrely plodding prose (bizarre since this is an adventure). I found myself wishing that it was more like Matt Bondurant's The Wettest County in the World. "

" This was one of the most unusual books I've ever read. The ending was a little maddening, though. His description of the Great Depression was very good and the life of the bank robbers was told with detail but also heart. I loved it. "

" Thought it would be good. Could not get into it. Waste of a good premise and a good title. "

" A very intriguing premise accompanied by strong descriptive writing and clear characters. "

" Goodness this book was hard to get through. Interesting premise, great characters, but way too much back story that doesn't lead to as much of a shocking end as the writer thinks. "

" Although I enjoyed this book I did not feel it was worthy of four stars. Three is sufficient for this Depression era tale of Zombie Gangsters! "
