If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
I love DeLeo's work - his stories are great. David Gilmore's narration was very unprofessional, and sing-songy. His inflections are way off the mark, and his voice characterizations were awful! I would have given this book an overall rating of 5 were it not for Gilmore's "performance".
Who was your favorite character and why?
Nick is my favorite - his interactions with Gus, especially are great. Although a little extreme, his interactions with Jean and Rachel are also pretty good.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
To my way of thinking, David Gilmore ruined this book! Do the editors not listen to the completed recordings? If so, DeLeo needs to find a new editor. This narration was so far off the mark as to be pitiful. I nearly scrapped the book several times, due expressly to the poor narrator! This man could take some much needed lessons from the likes of Dick Hill and Susan Erickson.
What character would you cut from Cold Blooded II: Killer Moves?
Not one!
Any additional comments?
Just that I will assiduously avoid any other books narrated by David Gilmore!
