The character department was the best and worst thing about this book. But since he did not do this, there was little reason to write such a book. The last book he needed to write was another serial killer novel-unless he had an innovative idea to share, like Thr3e. Adam, Skin, Boneman’s Daughters, Th3e, House, to name a few. Rene Gutteridge is one of the most prolific authors on the market because she has mastered this difficult goal.Ĭheck out more of our book reviews at Ted Dekker has written his fair share of serial killer novels. Fiction should be about making the reader think about how they can make their life better rather than entertaining him, but doing this through using examples and not being preachy. I love these types of plots not only because they are realistic, but also because they make the reader think.
Listen is the type of plot we don’t get to read very much-one that is centered around choices of the leads. There is also a key character death near the end to serve as a deep consequence of words. Not many authors would have taken the leap she did in making the culprit close to home. But the person who is doing it is the icing on the cake. But she kept the book in reality and gave a good explanation for how the eavesdropping was taking place. This was the area of concern I had because Rene could have easily reverted to a sensational supernatural explanation, bringing down the rating a bit. The best parts of the plot are who is writing the website and how they are capturing the conversations.
Not even the seemingly typical mentor character is innocent of serial speaking. Since this plot is all about imperfection, there is no way it can be crafted without imperfect characters. Damien is not the type of lead one would expect from this type of book. The message is cutting and convicting because this type of thing could happen anytime anywhere, and it’s all because of our words.Īs usual with Rene Gutteridge, the characters are complete with personalities and imperfection.
The plot makes the reader think rather than only be entertained. Unlike most plots, there’s no way this book can’t be original. When I first heard the description for this book, I knew it had to be good.
