Drop Shot (Myron Bolitar, Bk 2) (Audio CD) (Unabridged)

All of Harlan Coben's books are fantastic! The guy that reads this book is horrible! He just drones on and there is hardly changed his voice from one character to another. The best reader for these books is Harlan himself--superb. If you don't mind the voice, then listen to this book--great story.

My brother, who is a retired Methodist minister, recommended this book. The first 3 chapters were pretty good and then came the chapter where Rick Warren says that you MUST go to church to totally be committed to Jesus and God. Say what?!! I don't go to church because I think most of the people who go are doing to make themselves feel good. And, 2004 the Methodist church defrocked a female minister who came out as being a lesbian. She was tried by an all male Methodist ministers and yes, she lost her job. I am heterosexual and after that happened I vowed never to darken the door of any church. My relationship with Jesus and God has nothing to do with whether or not I attend church. I quit reading the book and donated it to our local thrift store. This book has a copyright date of 1954...enough said! I highly recommend a devotional book by Sarah Young called "Jesus Calling" You will glean more from her book(s) than you will ever get from this one!

An absolute jewel of an audiobook!! Fannie Flagg reads the book and does a wonderful job. She will have you laughing and crying and wondering why you never listened to her before! A tip: Try to listen to this book before you listen to "Can't Wait to Get to Heaven"...as wonderful, if not better.
