Review 1: Promise Me audiobook by Robert E. Scarcelle

Weak Effort

Three complaints with this book.
1. And this is HUGE, Harlen Coben should never read his own work… His delivery is terrible; not to mention I hate when the narrator changes in the middle of a series of books. I become accustomed to the original narrator in this case Jonathan Maroz.
2. There is less interaction with Win and Esperanza and the verbal banter I loved in his earlier books in the series. Also, there is little to no talk about the business of the Sports Agency.
3. Coben has drifted into only writing about the dramatic, gut wrenching, emotional aspects of relationships and moved away from incorporating the humor and light hearted topics that evened out his previous works.
All in all Coben is still one of my favorite authors but this book falls short in my eyes.

Review 2: Promise Me audiobook by George Eckhardt

Beware of Narrator

Boy do I feel foolish. I should have read the reviews before purchasing this book. I love Coben’s work so I clicked with trust and anticipation. Absolutely the worst narration I have ever heard. It actually grates on you.
What was he thinking narrating his own book?
Color me cautious and unhappy!

Review 3: Promise Me audiobook by Ed

Coben should stick to writing

Harlan Coben is a great writer. Sadly, he’s not such a good narrator. I would have loved this story if Scott Brick had been doing the narrating. I didn’t realize that Coben was the narrator until the end of the book. He began the book by appearing to read as fast as he possibly could. Mercifully he slowed down as the book progressed. I still very much enjoyed the book because, in the end, the writing trumps the narration. I have listened to several Coben novels but this was the first in the Bolitar series. It was pure escapism as several characters had a comic book personna. The twists and turns were there and the final one was both plausible and surprising. This was a good story and a relaxing listen. It would have been great if Brick had done the narration. I’ll try another in the Bolitar series.
