The others were better

I was very excited to read this book, as I was enormously entertained and impressed by his other two novels. In fact, in both of the previous novels, I can recall there being almost dreamlike, time-looping sequences in the narrative that were quite astounding. I was convinced I was witnessing the arrival of an important new voice in writing. Yet with this book I do not feel captivated or even really that entertained. I had enormous difficulty getting immersed in the story. Some sequences were great - the early bridge sequences were pretty evocative. And he does still play a few interesting time tricks in this story. However, as many others have noted, it seems that Hill was trying to get on some sort of common ground with his dad's writing on this one, and that was just a mistake. The whole Rolls section when the car kidnaps the guy was so Christine that I almost lost interest in the book right there. Joe Hill has demonstrated a fiercely original voice in his first two novels. Aping his dad is a big misstep.
And for those who gave this book 5 stars, I suggest re-reading it, or reading more books. 5 stars should be reserved for only the very best books. I question how anyone could consider this to be as good as it gets for fiction writing, especially in the context of what came before it, both by the author himself, and by his dad.

This was just okay, I read his other books and liked them better.

I may be old fashioned, but I liked the protagonists in Steven's other books better, even though this was a good read.

Great to see the remaining guys carrying on. Just not as good of a recording as the original. A good listen.

Prefer other artists, but this was pretty good.

We ordered this brand and another brand. I like these better. Although the pieces break and are a tight fit, they are better in these areas than one of its competitors.

There were alot of people featured from countries outside the US, that was refreshing.  These were sort of broken into chapters, each featuring a different person and some were written better than others.  Overall, it was interesting enough that I finished all 4.

Its a ok book but I did not enjoy this book as much as some of your others.

This final book in the series was better than the third and fourth, but mostly because it introduced some new characters. The old characters were still written a bit too saccharinely for my taste. I loved the first book best, and this one next best.

While I agree that Heston wasn't as good a fit for More as Scofield, one thing I did like about this version was its fidelity to the full play.  The original cinematic version strayed from it, especially from the device of having Matthew/the Common Man play multiple roles throughout.

I also found that some of the other characters were better developed here:  Henry VIII demonstrated more of the desire for More's approval than Shaw's performance; Cromwell was much more conniving and shrewd; Rich was more weak and duplicitous even than Hurt's portrayal.

The Minimum Wage show was really good, worth the price of the series.  But the rest of the series wasn't as engaging.

Only a couple that missed the mark, the rest are all great.

They do a better job than the ones that came on the car.  Only time will tell if they hold up.

This was, again, a good read but it was not up to par with the others.  It seemed a lot shorter and predictable.  No white knuckles with this one yet it is still superior to many I have purchased.

The Walker brothers were an outstanding group, and I emphasize that. Scott Walker was a decent baritone, but it was the arrangements and the harmonies that made this group stand out as one of the best. Their time in the limelight was much too short.

Some of the live recordings on this album are superior to their studio versions.
