The Scarecrow Audiobook

" A Thriller. Masterful weaver of tales. Good to the very last word "

" I might be running out of Connelly steam, which would make me sad, because I do enjoy his work so much. This was an entertaining read, but somehow it left me cold, despite the fact that it's received such good reviews. I found the premise--investigative journalism in the era of cost-cutting and layoffs at newspapers--to be really intriguing. But then McEvoy calls in the FBI and we're essentially out of the newsroom and nothing can stop our action hero reporter. I would have been more interested in this story without Rachel, I think--I'd love to see what Jack could have accomplished without that little connection. "

" this was a VERY creepy book. I liked the characters, and the plot kept me interested "

" Connelly always satisfied. I really need some time off so I can plow through all the Bosch books I've missed (great audiobooks as well), but this revisiting of Jack McEvoy from The Poet was a fun read. "

" I love this author and his characters ie; Jack McEvoy and especially Harry Bosch. I can never get enough,kind of like the old days with Robert Ludlum,always waiting for the next book to be published. "

" Another easy read from Connelly. "

" It was an easy read, good thriller, but not great. It kept me interested though, so really a 2.5. "

" This book was an okay detective novel. The love story was a bit hokey and the plot was pretty predictable. Nothing special about this one for me. "

" I picked this up for half price at the airport. It was a fun read, creepy enough to make me think twice about what I put on social networking sites. "

" Really enjoyed this book. It has some mystery to it, a little bit of romance and I like the author's style of writing. I would read another book by this same author. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I like Micheal Connelly and plan to read more of his books. I liked this better than the Lincoln lawyer books. "

" Really liked this one. My favorite so far of the Michael Connelly books I'm reading. I liked the villan and the journalist pursuing the villan! Quick read and kept my interest. Great story. "

" I enjoyed reading "The Scarecrow" but it was not one of Connelly's better books. It didn't come close to the brilliance of "The Poet " "

" I was creeped out in the beginning, but once I got past that, I was hooked. Connelly did a good job w/ this one. Jack McEvoy & Rachel Walling are good characters. "

" Jack McAvoy is not nearly as compelling a character as Harry Bosch, of course, but I enjoy Connelly enough to want to read everything he's written, so I've made it to this book. I listened to it in audio, as I do all Connellys, and it was entertaining. "

" A phenomenal book, one of his best yet. It's a toss up whether this one, The Poet or City of Bones is my favorite. Can hardly wait for his next one. And that one's a Harry Bosch. "

" The first Michael Connelly I did not enjoy. "

" This was a fun read! It was murder using the Internet! Very clever and engaging! "

" The lesson from The Scarecrow is that IT people are people with whom i will work harder to be friends! This is a gripping tale ... not whodunit gripping, but rather, "how will he get his desserts" gripping. A great airplane book. "

" It was a good read. I've read many of Michael Connelly's books and this isn't one of his best. "

" Just not that interesting a book. I like the Bosch series and other Connellys books. Real disappointment. "

" I didn't read much of this. Too ugly, harsh, and, I guess, modern. "

" The Jack McEvoy series is better than the other Michael Connelly book I read. Just a thriller. Some of it was a little unbelievable. But I enjoyed it. "

" CONNELLY DOESN'T REALLY KEEP YOU GUESSING THAT MUCH "

" an interesting "hi-tech meets depraved serial killer" mystery that keeps you hanging on til the end "

" Exciting crime story. "

" Started off very well, v good first half. But from then on - in the tradition of many serial killer stories - it fizzled out. Setting up a story is one thing, writing a thriller something completely different. A weak 3. "

" One of the most suspenseful of the Connelly books I've read to date -- this and THE POET. For those who follow his characters, this one features reporter Jack McEvoy and FBI Agent Rachel Walling. "

" It's a Michael Connelly book, so if you Michael Connelly then you know what you're getting before you start. And if you like the genre then you won't be disappointed. "

" The name of the author guarantees it's a good read. This is no exception. "

" Elegant writing style. Michael Connelly at his best especially in the intro chapters. But as usual, ends don't meet :( "

" I sympathized with the hero of this book. It risks it as a person left in the age. "

" The protagonist, villain and minor characters, and the news and server colocation business settings all feel real. The plot keeps you reading. Good stuff. "

" This is my second book by Michael Connelly, I really like his stories. Will read others as they cross my path. "

" I have been listening to the Harry Bosch series, and this came up to scratch. Rough around the edges with some fun twists. "

" Being in the IT arena, it is always entertaining to read a story that involves technology and just how much information you can obtain on someone with the means. Good story but a bit predictable. "

" Eh... not bad but it took effort to make it all the way through. "

" Very entertaining read. I love the way this author writes, and I've many of his other books to my ever expanding TBR pile. "

" Really creepy. Well written, but I am growing tired of these kinds of characters. "

" No Harry Bosch or Mickey Haller, but still a good read. "
