  • I had high hopes for "No Rest for the Dead" considering it had 26 writers, expecting it to be a thrilling and captivating read. However, I found it to be quite predictable and underwhelming. The narration was decent, but the plot itself left much to be desired. I was truly hoping for something more engaging.
  • I found the concept of 'No Rest for the Dead' quite intriguing. Having multiple authors and narrators was a unique approach that piqued my interest. Normally, I wouldn't have picked up this book, but I ended up listening to it eagerly. Once I started, I couldn't stop and was completely engrossed in the story.
  • I'm really struggling to get into this audiobook, despite my best efforts. I've been an avid listener, going through 2-3 books a month since 2006. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think it might have something to do with the multiple narrators or perhaps the way the characters and plot are handled by multiple authors. It's leaving me feeling rather irritated for some reason. To be honest, I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish it. It's taken me four days to get through about 4 hours of this book, which is an unusually slow pace for me. It doesn't seem to be going anywhere quickly, and this isn't due to extensive character development.
  • Don't let the naysayers who gripe about an abundance of voices interrupting the narrative discourage you. I personally had a fantastic time with this audiobook. While certain chapters stood out as superior, the overall cohesion was impressive and I have no regrets about purchasing it. The listening experience was captivating, and the unexpected plot twist truly caught me off guard, in the best way possible.
  • I really enjoyed how the writing style varies from one character to another, just like how different personalities develop in real life. The book was incredibly entertaining! Hats off to some of my favorite authors teaming up with others I haven't had the opportunity to read before, resulting in exceptional writing.
  • The plot of the book was really solid. I liked how the story was presented through different narrators, it added an important element to the overall writing style. It was definitely an enjoyable audiobook experience.
  • Definitely worth checking out... every chapter adds to the suspense... introducing fresh elements that seamlessly intertwine with the main storyline. Avoid it if you're not a fan of predictable plots!
  • It's rare a mystery/suspense novel keeps me guessing until the end, yet this one did. Some of the finest writing talent pooled together crafted a novel that was fast paced, yet detailed. Serial novels are rare; good serial novels are next to nonexistent. This is a good one, and because of this there are a few novelists whose work I'm planning to explore.
  • I was drawn to the collaborative effort of so many well-known authors and was not disappointed. Thoroughly enjoyable! The readers were easy to listen to, which is also very important in the overall experience.
