Unabridged Audiobook
I really enjoyed this book. kept you interested & waiting for more. Maybe not for everyone but I did enjoy it.
This is an entertaining read, with not much depth to it. As with all time-travel books, there are some obvious flaws, but if you're willing to overlook those, you can get a good story out of this one!
The only reason for 3 stars is that this story ends too quickly. I would give it a 5 star rating for the plot twist, I laughed out loud with surprise when it was first revealed. Very inventive. The only negative in the listen is the "bumper" music - its a little incongruous with the story line, like listening to bluegrass music while watching a murder mystery movie. The narrator does a farily good job. Overall, a nice piece of fluff for a long drive or several long jogs.
Sometimes the plot seems a little unbelievable and slow moving.
I liked the audio version of this book. It took me a little while to acclimatize to Knox's accent, but once I did, I couldn't imagine the character without it. I enjoyed the story, especially the details of Nikita's situation. The story was not at all plausible, but that's fine with me. The only criticism I have is that there were far to many separate "songs" comprised of only 5 - 50 seconds. It added 880 songs to my itunes and made finding where I was a pain in the rump. Great job by the author and the reader, not so much by the publisher.
This book was fair. The story line was a bit far fetched.
It was ok. The science fiction core theme is not my taste. I prefer listening to more of a real romance or mystery, though I did listen to it in its entirety until the next title arrive. Had I missed this one, it would have been fine. I am not into time travel and the like. If you are, it is a nice story.
Enjoyed the book interesting twist. This is the second book by this author that I have listened to, in both books she has had something that was out of the ordernary and different. Took a long and boring trip and added some spice to it.
This book had me hooked from the beginning. I was quite surprised at the twist early on in the plot. At that point, it became even more interesting. I could have done without all the sexual content. It wasn't really necessary to the story line in order to relay the main characters' romance. Other than that, it was a great "listen".
I enjoy reading Linda Howard's books. This one was OK, I'm just not a big fan on science fic.
Killling Time is one of the best quasi-science fiction books I have read. Yes, it is about time travel, but the plot and the focus on the relationship of Knox and Nikita is the real gem of this novel. The character development is superb and the issues that are raised are worth considering. It makes one wonder what 200 years in the future will be like. The author makes some very interesting guesses in that area.
Travel in time mystery - very enjoyable and interesting.
Unfortunately the brief description of the book did not disclose that this is really a science fiction mystery. Since I am not of fan of science fiction, I was disappointed.
I am a fan of many of Linda Howard's books. This one is a science fiction murder mystery based on something put in a time capsule twenty years earlier which would affect the future. The plot is quite well developed and interesting. I had a hard time waiting for the next set of CD's to arrive. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
