Vertical Run (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" Beware, gruesome war images at unexpected moments "

" The main character had murder, mystery, conspiracy, action and adventure. I enjoyed reading all the way through "

" Excellent; Man arrives at work one day as usual, but everyone is trying to kill him - suspense within office tower "

" This was a propulsive novel. I'm going to re-read it someday. Sort of like the movie Die Hard. It was more plot driven than character driven, but if you like thrillers, this won't bother you much. "

" Read this years ago when I was about, ooooh 15ish I think. Enjoyed it then enough for me to think of it 7 years later anyway! "

" Great action book. It was Die Hard: The Novel, and just as compelling as the movie. This book made me a fan of Mr. Garber and I have added more of his works to my reading list. "

" I LOVED this book! I actually listened to it on Audiobook. Throughout the whole book, the reader is baffled, but it all ties together at the end. Extremely suspenseful but not scary. "

" Initially pretty good action adventure, but seemed to break down about 2/3 into the book. The story line got a little weak and disjointed. "

" A quick read if you don't mind a lack of characterization and richness in plot. I had this around a 3.5 star rating halfway through the book...however, it never did turn the corner and take it to the level I thought it could've reached. I may be considered picky, but I like good character development and a plot with good context and I found this novel lacking in both. However, I did read just about the entire book so it did enough for me to get through it for the most part. I lost interest in the character and plot 3 quarters of the way through, though. "

" Very exciting book. It appears the whole world is out to kill him. What is going on? Action from page one. Where is the movie version? "

" This was one of those can't put it down books. I finished it in a day and went looking for more by him but never found anything as good as this one. "

" Was not too impressed. Could not really relate to/ care about the main character. "

" its a page turner :D "

" This is one of those books that no one knows about. It is a very awesome book for anyone interested in Adventure\suspense... "

" Very fast paced. Exciting from cover to cover. Good read! "

" Read this book back in High School and all I can remember is that I couldn't put it down. Want to re-read soon. "

" Predictable (and I read it in sixth grade) but entertaining "

" A "grab you by the throat" thriller. "

" The ultimate beach read. Like John Grisham's The Firm except I don't think every single person in the whole world read this particular book. "

" Very good suspense novel. I think this was made into a not-so-memorable movie, but the book was the kind which keeps you up all night. "

" i want to read this book "

" Interesting book. I really liked it, but couldn't escape the feeling that rather than originality, the book was serving up action plots I had already heard, with the author's own spin on them. I honestly kept thinking of John McClane the whole time. "

" They should adapt this into the final Die Hard film. It would be an apt finale, and better than the last two. "

" A fun beach read. As thrillers go, this one is tight. "

" Some good action sequences, but overall a little too over the top for me. Too much profanity too. "

" Yeah, not really worth the time. "

" One of my favs - it moves! "

" Better than average thriller set in a skyscraper. "

" It had a fun summer movie blockbuster vibe at the start, but it ultimately it fell apart on itself and I found myself skimming the final third. Bummer. "

" Predictable (and I read it in sixth grade) but entertaining "

" THIS IS ONE rANDY & I DID YEARS AGO, AND WOULD LIKE TO DO AGAIN, REMEMBER IT BEING TERRIFIC- THINK WE DID IT ABRIDGED ORIGINALLY "

" So good. A man has to get to the top of a armed and guarded office building on the realization he's terminally ill. He must find the man who did this to him. "

" If you're looking for a quick, highly entertaining read, you can't get much better. It reads like a far, far superior version of Die Hard. "

" Pretty good, fast paced thriller. Reminded me a lot of Die Hard. I kept thinking I had read this before, or seen the movie. Don't skip the epilouge if you read it. Puts an interesting twist on the story... "

" After 125 pages, I just could not get into this book. I know there was a sub plot as to why everyone was after the protagonist but repeatedly going up and down in a highrise with gun shoot outs, hiding and ploys to avoid the government agents got boring to me. "

" This was a good and quick read, but I did not care for the ending. It really just kind of stops...there's no real conclusion. "

" One of my favs - it moves! "

" Read this years ago when I was about, ooooh 15ish I think. Enjoyed it then enough for me to think of it 7 years later anyway! "

" Excellent; Man arrives at work one day as usual, but everyone is trying to kill him - suspense within office tower <br/> "
