The Traffickers Audiobook

" A decent read but a bit muddled. I never got in tune with the characters - probably because there are so many and several go by more than one name. This was my first Griffin read - I will give the author another chance. "

" pretty graphic...was ok. Predictable and a very flat ending. "

" Wow! There was a lot of detail in this book. Some parts were kind of disturbing; rethinking my choice of reading. Seemed like a very real story line. "

" My first Griffin novel. Very exciting read. Couldn't put it down. "

" An interesting plot mired down under the weight of having to constantly announce that it takes place in Philly. Seriously, one or two landmarks per chapter would suffice; this reads more like a travelogue to the seedier side of the city. And does the author really need to explain twice that salsa is sorta like spicy ketchup? Hellooo! It's been outselling ketchup nationwide for about a decade now. And if there's a Philly cop out there who doesn't know what cojones are, someone needs to take his/her badge away now. I might have enjoyed the story more if I wasn't constantly pulled away from it by these telling little details that basically told me the editor was out to lunch on this one. "

" Enjoyed it a great deal. Not as much as the Presidential Agent Series but enough to read more "

" Not quite as good as the rest of the Badge of Honor series, this one is still worth any WEB Griffin fan's time. This was also definitely one of the fastest reads I've had in a long time. As a result, it was a little disappointing that I was able to finish it in about 8 hours because the story was not as well-developed as it could have been. The plot was not as detailed as many of Griffin's earlier works, and parts of the story-line seemed to bog down in background details that weren't accompanied by more active details and character development. Granted, the only new character seen throughout the book is visiting Texas Ranger Byrth, but I still would have liked him and Dr. Law to have been fleshed out a little more. Unfortunately, many of the other characters in the book seemed to have only have a tangential connection (despite their vital presence in many of the other books in the series) to this story-line. Disagree if you will, but I found that to be a negative change to the series in this book, even though it did result in a story almost entirely focused on Matt Payne. "

" Fast read - thought provoking about illegal immigrants/drug wars, sways my feelings for these people and what they go through. Almost a helpless situation, I don't want to support them, but they are smuggled into our lives and then forced to sell their bodies and become hooked on drugs - doesn't seem right. "

" I listened to the audiobook and the Schuylkill River is pronounced SKoo-Kill. Geez, if you're going to read a word you don't know learn it first! Other than that, the book wasn't as good as previous (and solo) Griffin books, but it was an interesting listen. "

" Losts of action, keeps you guessing, insight into human other types trafficking and an interesting perspective on honest people, yet illegal aliens, just trying to make it in this world. A definite should read!!!! "

" Ending is quite simple. Book itself is a middle of the road detective novel. "

" A lot of good old boy stuff and a novel bad guy. I think I want to get back into this author again. "

" This is the most recent book in the Griffin Philidelphia cop series. There are five or six Griffin series, and this is the only only I follow. I enjoyed it -- sort of a guilty pleasure, like candy corn -- okay to pig out on once in awhile, but impossible as a steady diet. "

" Trite and predictable, salvaged only by some accurate descriptions of Philly settings and a few decent desctiptions of the city's landmarks. "

" First I heard of the series was on Audio book. I heard all Badge of Honor Series. I loved it. I am about to start listening to rest of his series. "

" A great new addition to the series. waiting for the next one. "

" It was good until close to the end. The end was formulaic and predictable. "

" This book has a lot of action, but it is pretty gruesome and again has a lot of sex and language. It deals with drugs, guns, and human lives, and is pretty scary. The only bright spot is the character of the Lone Ranger who lives up to all the hype that this character should. "

" The star of the Philadelphia PD joins with a Texas Ranger to fight the drug dealers. A good action novel and I learned a lot about the darker side of life: drug dealers/cartels,illegals immigrants,coyotes,forced prostitution, etc. "

" I couldn't wait to finish it so I could start something better; but for some reason I felt compelled to find out how it ended. Drugs, human trafficking, cowboys and cops. I now need a break from W.E.B. Griffin. "

" Good story, somewhat gory at times. "

" I liked the plot, but it appears to me that the Griffin co-author books are mostly written by his son, Butterworth IV, and thus the writing was not quite as sharp or focused as the previous Badge Of Honor novels. I felt this book tended to drag somewhat in the middle, but overall I enjoyed it. "

" Good story line and very engaging, but the author goes on and on way too much. He can't finish a paragraph without going into some other tangent before getting to the point. So the story line moved on very slowly and I lost interest. "

" Predictable!!!!! And annoying :( Bad airport read! "

" Detective Sergeant Matthew Payne is on the Philadephia homicde squad investgating a batch of apparently unrelated murders. The investigation leads him to the Texas-Mexican border. "

" I listened to the audiobook and the Schuylkill River is pronounced SKoo-Kill. Geez, if you're going to read a word you don't know learn it first! Other than that, the book wasn't as good as previous (and solo) Griffin books, but it was an interesting listen. "

" pretty graphic...was ok. Predictable and a very flat ending. "

" Ending is quite simple. Book itself is a middle of the road detective novel. "

" If I hadn't been so thoroughly spoiled by Griffin's earlier books in this (and other) series, I would probably be giving it a higher rating. He set the bar fairly high. "

" I do love W.E.B. Griffin books for the action as well as the information. He does know his subjects - this one is so hard to accept..the brutality of one human to another, human trafficking and the carelessness of human life - ugh But I know it happens. "

" The star of the Philadelphia PD joins with a Texas Ranger to fight the drug dealers. A good action novel and I learned a lot about the darker side of life: drug dealers/cartels,illegals immigrants,coyotes,forced prostitution, etc. "

" Good plot and story, albeit for a 500-page book it ended too abruptly in 3 pages. Too much usless detail in places, for me; should have been edited more vigorously. "

" A great new addition to the series. waiting for the next one. "
