The Reapers (Abridged): A Thriller Audiobook

" in this second in the charlie parker series, his two "friends" on the other side of the law, are sent to a small maine town, where they end up being hunted by n old enemy. we find out a lot about their respective pasts, and why they have ended up where they are in life. as with all of connolly's novels, this one is graphic and violent. not for the squeanish. "

" a bit wordy, to many characters. "

" not much Parker action but lots about Louis' past. less spiritual than some of the others. good action, good pace "

" A good thriller. Not so much Charlie Parker in this book which mainly follows Louis and Angel. We get a lot of back story on Louis in this book and it is good to see where he came from. "

" As always, John Connolly's way of writing tops everything else. I just love the way he weaves his stories together. The Reapers was no exception to his previous books (i.e. marvellous!). It was interesting to follow Angel and Louis for a change, and to have Parker appear in another fashion. Smart move not letting Parker tell the story. Although, I must admit I miss his dark point of view at times. But this was certainly a great book! "

" Beginning was slow which made it difficult to get into the story. Now I am enjoying the story. "

" I love the way Connolly writes, but this had a few too many useless killings for my liking. I guess the title should have given me a clue. "

" As always, John Connolly's writing is impeccable. His other books easily rate five stars; this one was less only because it was almost solely about Louis and Angel, and I don't find them nearly as interesting as Parker. "

" The mind of the criminal is explored and exploited in this one. One of Connolly's strong points is his ability to inject humor in situations where you would least expect to find it. "

" Disappointing. The supernatural element contained in previous books in the series was downplayed and the plot seemed like filler; as if JC couldn't think of a good Parker story to write so decide to kill time by exploring Louis backstory. "

" I just finished this one and I loved it! You get more perspective into Angel & Louis than ever before, a little less Charlie Parker. But a very good novel. Lots of violence, but if you can handle that, then highly recommended. "

" I had a really hard time with the first few chapters but once I got into it, I really enjoyed it. Fair warning: it's very violent. Lots of guns, bad guys and blood. "

" Hard to keep my attention. "

" The more books I read by John Connolly, the more I like him. Good stories with deep characters and lots of suspense. "

" I learned a lot more about Louis - another great book! "

" This was my firt John Connolly book. I really enjoyed the story and it provided a thrill to the end. I will look for more from this author "

" insight into louis and angel. how louis came about. not to much charlie parker "

" I always loved reading these, can't wait to see what the characters are up to next "

" Beginning was slow which made it difficult to get into the story. Now I am enjoying the story. "

" totally did not enjoy reading it, it did not get my attention in the first chapter. :( "

" This was a pretty good book, but I was very impressed with the writing. Connolly has a way with words that makes me, as an author, feel somewhat inadequate. His prose is incredible. "

" Actually, I did not finish this one. It's strange, unengaging, not worth the effort. "
