Unabridged Audiobook
Boring. Put me to sleep and I normally love this Author.
Hard to believe that only one person was reading this story. The story is pretty good too - just a bit quick. A few times, logic would have directed a different direction, but overall, it is believable.
Nice ride through the park. Good story. The book is a great place to visit with your imagination. Credable job. Enjoyed it.
The book was a little slow at times, but I did enjoy it. The plot was somewhat unique. I have read many books by Lincoln Child and Doglas Preston, this was the first one I'd read of Child without his usual co-author. It's just not the same.
It's really refreshing to see Lincoln Child make a break from his usual writing partner (Douglas Preston) and give us something fresh. I really enjoyed this ride (pardon the pun). The characters and situations were just believable enough to keep me on the edge of my seat. I think the abridged version did a great job of filtering out all the techno-babble that could have caused this story to bog down. And unlike the Preston-Child books, this one had a great ending that actually made sense! Eric Stoltz narration was understated, but effective.
It doesn't take long for Utopia to grab you and take you for a thrilling ride. The plot is not outrageous considering the technological advancements in today's theme parks, and the characters deal with the terrorists/extortionists without resorting to unbelievable means that vaporize from nowhere. Steady pace; great resolution.
