Reviews for Betrayed

[Cilica · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

As several other reviewers experience the narration is abysmal. Either automated non-human or bad editing. I like the story but listening to a drone narration puts me off, I lose my place and all sentences sound the same.

This is another great read by Harlan Coban. You can’t go wrong with his books

When I started the book I didn’t think it was going to be as great as it turned out.it had all the elements I really like,danger,fast paced excitement,mystery a little romance (don’t like a lot of graphic information) I will definitely be looking forward to reading another from this author

This book skipped so much it was hard to follow, totally skipped over the last 2 chapters in a 5 chapter book.

[Ben · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

The other books have been decent and this one might be ok, but I’ll never know as the narrator made it brutally unreadable.

[Sheri Belanger · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I have loved the other books by this same author, but this one seemed disjointed. The narrator spoke as if he was rushing through with an odd inflection in his voice and bad timing for the one-liner jokes sprinkled in.

[Trevor · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Book more likely has promise for a reader. As an audio book, the narrator was more interested in getting to the end of the book. With pauses, voice inflection, and slower pace the book has potential.

[James Green · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Absolute shite. Poorly written and abysmal narration. Had to play it at 0.8 speed as it was machine gun fast. No light or shade in the delivery. Tried hard to persevere but after an hour I was ready to put my ears out. Didn’t even deserve the one star I had to give it.

[Constance Sahlmark · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I have no idea what happened. Not well thought out.

[Gay Gasper · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book was very adventurous with lots of twist and turns, never ending action. I was slightly disappointed with the very end.

I chose not to listen . With 3 bad reviews in a row I decided not to waist my time on this book. Lots of other excellent books to choose off of Scribd.
