XO: A Kathryn Dance Novel Audiobook (Unabridged)

" OMG! Shark jump and you've-got-to-be-kidding-me on page 274. Did not suspect this pathetic turn at all. Must have chocolate before making the critical decision whether to close the book or finish it. Back in a few...................Finished the book and it was increasingly painful. Really, I am stunned that an accomplished writer I have enjoyed would close out a decent story with a million cheap little twists and turns. The X in the XO is going through Deaver's name. I'm done. I did learn one valuable lesson, however. Chocolate does not always make everything ok. "

" I love reading Jeffery Deaver. I wanted to be a forensics lab technician, but I never got a chance to. So, I ready about it and that's the next best thing. "

" I haven't read Deaver for years I had forgotten how good he is "

" I generally really like Deaver's books and was definitely disappointed in this one. It's about a young country singer who is being stalked. The plot twists are more messy than exciting and found myself thinking, oh, you've got to be kidding, when the plot would turn again. I was not surprised by the ending. I do highly recommend many of Deaver's other books but this one was so-so. I think a younger reader (young adult) may enjoy it more than I did. "

" Another excellent read by Deaver. So many twists and turns, I couldn't put this book down. "

" First of the Kathryn Dance novels I have read. Like her as a character. The novel reads well. Characters that you want to be involved with. Fast read. One day if you count staying up to 2 am to finish "

" Enjoyed it overall but mid way it became a bit slow for me and then I got back into it at the end "

" Kathryn Dance is a expert In kinesics but she doesn't really have a lot to do with this in the book. Found it too detailed with the music information. Prefer his Lincoln Rhyme novels after reading 3 with this character in it "

" A little cheesy compared with Deaver's others but the suspense was still great and the twists were plentiful "

" A sleuthing marathon. A puzzle mystery. Totally agree with Jeff Ayers' (Associated Press) review that "XO" delivers more twists than a bag of pretzels. Kathryn Dance's toughest case, and Deaver's best book yet. "

" Good book especially if you like the music industry. I love all his twists and turns right through to the end. "

" Not my favorite Jeffery Deaver - I love most of his books, but this one just didn't grab me. Read about a quarter of it, then jumped to the last couple chapters. "

" Not as good as some of Deavers work, but still plenty of twist's. "

" Started great, got bored, skipped to the end. Ran into Lincoln Rhyme and then went back. Why does one character so come alive and the other just leaves me flat. - And the two guys who love and one of them is a little 'sparkly' -nooooooo. "

" Not as good as other Deaver books. "

" This book had a lot of twists and turns, and frankly, some were a little unbelievable. The characters were a little stiff, and the introduction of Lincoln and Amelia for a couple of pages did not really make too much sense. Cool premise, though. "

" Excellent twists! But I knew one of the culprits early on. "

" Good & suspenseful as per typical Deaver; however, in this particular novel the twists & turns started to get annoying. I typically never check how many pages left in a Deaver book but this time I did.... several times! "

" This was a really good twister. Just when you thought you knew the bad guy(s) you found out it might be someone else. Keeps you on your toes and turning pages. "

" I'm just going to start calling 2 stars the "Meh" level of books. It filled the afternoon. The quality has gone down in Deaver's work and I think I pretty much just read this because I already read the other two and knew what I was getting. A decent enough mystery for when you are feeling sick. "

" The main character, Kathryn Dance, reads body language, but her skills are put to the test when she is investigating an over-zealous fan following a young singer. This was not a complex novel, and the plot meandered without much emotional investment on my part. "

" Full of the Deaver plot twists I love so much just couldn't relate to the lead character....although most would probably like it. I will say no more, worth a read :) "

" Gotta love a good stalking book (but only once in a while!). "

" A fair effort from Mr. Deaver who frankly has done better in the past. Good idea for a novel but the story was weighted down with too many slow and meandering sections. Some better editing was certainly in order here. "

" I was eagerly awaiting a new Kathryn Dance novel and was pleasantly rewarded with XO. This is simply such an enjoyable novel with great characters and lots of twists that add to the excitement. "

" This is the first Jeffrey Deaver novel I've read that I didn't enjoy. The story seemed overly padded with boring and unnecessary details and I didn't really care much for the characters. Hope the next book is better... "

" A very good audiobook made all the more suspenseful and chilling by a wonderful narrator. "

" I'm a huge fan of the Kathryn Dance series and this book did not disappoint. I was absolutely spellbound from beginning to end. "
