Slow, boring, hard to hear and follow dialogue.

I couldn't keep my eyes open during this flick. It was long, odd & really hard to hear the dialogue. You keep waiting for something exciting to happen, and when it does, it happens at the very end.

This is a talking head movie where nothing really happens except for people talking to each other or at each other. The main topic is alcoholism as John Pryce tells the alcoholic poet that AA is a cult. Then he goes and talks to Uma Thurman who has one of the most atrocious fake accents since Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins.

Then someone else talks and they talk and they talk and they talk. These are boring characters having boring philosophical discussions about alcoholism. This movie is less entertaining than hearing your just-out-of-rehab friend preach at you about your drinking.

As Jonathan Pryce says in one scene - "I don't want to bore you with what you already know." Sadly, he does. And so does everyone else.

I bought the audio book. So far, I've listened more than half of the book and it's incredible boring. Nothing happens, except for the murder of the beginning.
The characters are boring and uninteresting, and all that chit chat between the old ladies trying to deliver whether the suspect is guilty or not is just tiring.

It was ok. Too much dialogue (mainly internal), and was too slow for my liking. A few grammatical and tense issues also detracted from the story.

I doubt I'll read any more books in this series.

I couldn't listen to this audio book past fifteen minutes, alas. This surprised me, because I adored Alastair Reynolds' very fine Commonwealth Saga books; and the narrator of those audio books, John Lee, was utterly sublime in his storytelling.  However, the voice work in "Slow Bullets" was simply atrocious. There was no storytelling life in the narrator's voice, and she kept ending every sentence in this odd flat-tone, producing a monotonous effect like that of a person who was reading a list of sentences, rather than a story. It was so utterly grating that I could not listen to it past fifteen minutes, and I had to abandon the product and the money I spent on it.

Before you buy, try to find an audio excerpt from this product to preview if you can, before you invest your money in it.

slow moving.  Lots of the same dialog over and over again. Just want to finish it and move on to another book.

Difficult to understand. Play in speech therapy but it is boring and complicated.

The awful dialogue gets zero stars.  The story isn't bad, which earned it a star.

Moves so slowly.  There must have been two and a half pages of thoughts and reactions as a bullet flew into a victim.  The pace gives new meaning to "slow."

The jokes and banter are old and amateurish.  The characters are not appealing.  Really not fun reading.  But I stuck with it, because I have no respect for reviewers who don't finish books and have the nerve to review them anyway.

Too much talking, adlibbing, and improvisation in the lyrics.  Not worth the time required to get it out of the case.

The dialogue was boring, the hero was a hypocrite and boring, the heroine was boring, the story was repetitive and boring and the twins were twits.  The writing was insipid, dull and mediocre.

The book took forever to get in its tracks. So many descriptions, so many boring dialogues, I had to skip whole pages without missing a beat. The end is like a damp cloth,no real drama and no suspense.
The heroine is a part time writer,broke, being offered to work for an insurance company, spying on a book store owner suspected of dealing in stolen rare books, notably manuscripts recently removed from Princeton in a heist.
The book owner is an endearing and bright thug, who succeeds in blackmailing the university into paying him to return the precious manuscripts, after endless talks on how to write a good book. The real story gets lost into philosophical debates.
I bought it on kindle, so not many trees had to die. Mercy for small things.

The actors speak really, really slowly - too slowly to provide meaningful listening practice. They are very clear, though.

I bought the audio version which is read to you as if you're a child.
The pace is very slow, with a great pause between sentences.
Then at the end of each of 99 sections, about 30 sec each, there is a gap to progress to the next.
I sent it back.
Perhaps I can skim the book, but others have rated the total content low, too.
Even in Chapter 1, I picked up the beginning of a sales pitch for the company and more expensive seminars.

I"m not sure it I would like the story, but I just can't get past the narrator, who has the most boring monotone speaking style. I kept going back to the beginning of the chapter because I was not paying attention too is voice....boring narration. Shame if it's a good story and I end up passing because of the dislike of it's narrator.

Too slow and the plot just drags. I gave up after 50 pages or so. Also, writing is anachronistic - the dialogue, relationships hardly fit the setting.

story drags, felt like I was talking to someone who rambles

Hated it, we have the audio, found the writing style to be unappealing, hard to follow had to stop listening.
