Total Recall Audiobook

" Loved the book but had a bit of a hard time keeping the characters streight. Looking forward to V. I. Warshawski, #11 "

" Too long and drawn-out; implausible "

" Awesome. Better than Arnold Schwarzenegger could ever emote... "

" As in Parentsky's other V.I. Warshawski novels, I enjoyed this one. The story held my interest throughout and got more interesting as it went on. Toward the middle of the book I found it hard to put down. The characters, good guys and bad, were believable and well developed. I will read more in this series. "

" I am not sure I gave this book a fair shake. It took me forever to finish. It didn't hold my attention and I kept putting it down. I usually like the V.I. Warshawski detective series but this one was very disappointing. "

" Fun and easy. I liked the ending. "

" If you like good detective mysteries, and also like stories set in Chicago, then Sara Paretsky is for you. She's a great writer, Vick Warshawski is a compelling character, and the action is all very believable, especially to us Chicagolanders. It helps to read Paretsky's Warshawski books in order, but it's not critical. "

" I enjoyed this book, but there were times I felt there was confusion with several plots going at once. I found my mind drifting but it did come together at the end. "

" I am a HUGE Warshafsky fan and this one didn't disappoint. Great storyline - two seemingly different strands to the story that came together in a very satisfying way at the end. "

" Short story. Usual PKD style, all to do with questioning reality "

" Mind-bending. What is he recalling for real vs what has been manufactured? Layers upon layers. "

" I liked this book. good story, kept me interested, liked the mystery. I like the character V I Warshawski. I will definitely read more by this author. "

" Such a great little story. The basis for Total Recall, but so much better. "

" short novelette. It is the story behind 'Total Recall'..more like the recent version of Total Recall but in reality it was not like either. "

" A good short story with a twist. I couldn't help but feel that it would have been better if it was a longer work. Definitely worth reading for PKD fans and maybe people who enjoyed the movie adaptation. "

" The short story the movie is based on, is indeed short. But Philip K Dick rocks it. Better than the movie, and takes less time. "

" I love Vic. In this book we learn more about Lottie's background. Vic gets involved to help her friend (of course)and is working another case at the same time. Or is it a different case? A fast paced story with emotions on many levels. Not a long novel but packed with characters and suspense. "

" You know someone can really write a good mystery when she can make insurance fraud exciting and suspenseful. Plus, all of her V.I. Warshawski novels are set in Chicago, which makes me like them even more. "

" A very short story about having memories implanted into your brain - can I trust my own memories - typical PKD. It kind of feels like an episode of The Twilight Zone. "

" This is the novella that Total Recall is based on. I love this little story, it is very well written and really funny. "

" Probably my favorite VI Warshawski that I've read thus far, given that it weaves together some of my favorite themes for mystery novels. But more than that, Paretsky as always does a bang-up job of building characters that are plausibly flawed but still intriguing and worth caring about. "

" Going back to read some of these that I've missed somehow. Still enjoy this great mystery writer's books. "

" The story that spawned the movie - two of them actually: Total Recall. Story is interesting, but in this case, and I would say unusually, the movies are better. "

" Excellent Concept...High Pace Drama.... "

" The movie was better really. Should've been a lot longer - the characters were very rushed and cliche. "

" A fun short story, easy to read in a single sitting to kill the time. The story is interesting, but it is quite surprising they managed to geta full movie out of it. "

" This was my first V.I. Warshawski book. Don't know why I put off reading them, except that maybe I knew once I started I wouldn't stop. Excellent book, with a broader scope than most mysteries. "

" Another favorite author; I don't know how I missed this one -- got it off the used bookshelves at the library! Her books get deeper and deeper. "

" I really enjoy Philip K. Dick's writing and imagination of a future so close to us but so far from him when he wrote of it. "

" I heard they were remaking Total Recall (which was based on this story), so I re-watched the original movie and tracked down this short story. It's very similar to the movie and in many ways far more clever. "

" Read this one too slow to fully get the emotions in the story. Very good! V.I. again is caught in multiple sub-plots trying to uncover what is really happening around her client - and herself. Holocaust survivors, murder, conspiracy. "

" Nice for its insider view of past Holocause victims' perspectives, but I kind of stalled in the middle and lost interest. "

" The basis for the Total Recall movies - love this short! Definitely worth the 15 minutes :D "

" She's so much better than Sue Grafton and all the other imitators!!! "

" Another gripping read. "

" Sara Paretsky is one of two mystery writers that I read. I love the character: V.I. Warshawski. Set in Chicago. "

" One of my "guilty pleasures" "

" Couldn't keep the characters straight and didn't particularly care about any of them. "

" This was a good mystery with the past of the Holocaust affecting the events in the present. I liked how V.I. gradually learned about Lotty's past. "

" Going back to read some of these that I've missed somehow. Still enjoy this great mystery writer's books. "

" Muito chato, não vale a pena! ( Mergulho No Passado ) "

" This book was ok. It was not one of my favorites and I was not really impressed with the ending. "

" This was the best one so far! Could not put it down. What a finish! "

" I am a HUGE Warshafsky fan and this one didn't disappoint. Great storyline - two seemingly different strands to the story that came together in a very satisfying way at the end. "

" This didn't do it for me, but at least I know Paretsky's books aren't to my taste. "

" Got this on audio and realized it is a new recording of a 2001 book I have read. Remember as a solid story. "

" Liked it very much. Great escape fiction. VI Warshawski is a fun character. "

" Slow going. Maybe my problem is that I know up front that the recovered memory movement is a fraud. I like how VI now has a cell phone and uses her computer to gather info; she used to have to get off the freeway when she was driving and find a working pay phone. "

" I think I enjoyed this but I am not sure that Lotty's story hit the mark. I can see how a back story was required but it was not presented in the best way, in my opinion. "

" Read this one too slow to fully get the emotions in the story. Very good! V.I. again is caught in multiple sub-plots trying to uncover what is really happening around her client - and herself. Holocaust survivors, murder, conspiracy. "
