The Scarecrow (Abridged) Audiobook

" I haven't read a Micheal Connelly book I didn't like. Always a good read. "

" I love Michael Connelly books so I'm sure I'll like this one as well . I did enjoy reading it. "

" 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 " "

" This book was awesome and scary at the same time, with all the things that we do on the internet now, its amazing how vulnerable we could be to someone that really wanted to track us. "

" I really enjoyed listening to this as an audiobook. I listened to the first half on the car trip back from Illinois and then had to listen to the rest at home when I should have been doing something more productive. Anyway it kept my interest to the end. "

" Best Connelly book in ages. A great writer at the top of his game. "

" Very typical of his novels and a fast read. Nothing outstanding as we always knew who the killer was in the story. "

" Well written stuff. Another overblown plot as is Connelly's norm -- but one enriched by the sub story of newspaper layoffs. That was fascinating and made the novel worth reading alone. "

" I'd probably make this somewhere between a 3 and 4 if I could. I thought it was a well-crafted crime novel that kept a good pace, and included interesting characters. I haven't read many Connelly books, but will likely pick up some more because I liked this. "

" Enjoyed this more than I thought I would. A good one! "

" New favorite detective author. "

" Excellent novel. Fast paced and exciting like all of Connelly's work, I whipped through this really fast and wish I had another one to read. They are too well written to pass up. Can't wait for the next book, don't care which characters their about, I love them all. "

" Holey schmokes! What a thrill ride this one was. Highly excellent. "

" Wow! This kept my heart racing, especially at the end. Very good book. Language bad, but just while gang members involved at beginning. Very suspenseful. Loved it! "

" Anything Connelly gets at least 3 stars from me, but I read this so fast I need to go back and reread again. Some of the characters seemed oddly developed...I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected I would. Disappointing. "

" I felt like Connelly was phoning it in on this one. "

" One of Connelly's better books.... Interesting, bazaar, and it will keep you on edge as to what someone can do to you if they want to mess with your life and are a computer whiz! "

" My favorite part of this book was finding characters from prior works of Connelly. I found it hard to get through, taking me almost a month to finish when I couldn't get away from the Poet or the Narrows. "

" Good suspense tale. "

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

" I dont know why I am bothered by Connelly doing "by the numbers" with Bosch and Haller, but I didnt mind at all for this McEvoy/Waller one? Somehow with the "master serial killer" genre I dont expect anything new or different, and kinda like it being a bit schlocky. "

" Like everything this author writes! "

" Was OK. Nothing special. A bit odd how important his stories for the LA Times meant to him. "

" Michael Connelly doesn't disappoint. Jack McEvoy, veteran newspaper man is laid off and has time to chase a story tracking a diabolical serial killer who has been killing for over two years. "

" Another great fiction from one of my favorite authors! This book makes you wonder how safe you really are from internet predators. The action was outstanding and left you wondering who the murderer really was! "

" Another classic Connelly novel. "

" I did not like this Connelly work as much as I did the Bosch and Haller series. Nevertheless, it was a good read. "

" Predictible. "

" 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. "
