If I had to rate this book based on the first half I would have given it 3 starts. The Store promises a lot of good things for the people of Juniper, but there are some unexpected side effects. This book is NOT a book for kids, period.ĭisturbing critique to the consumer cultureīill and his family see how The Store arrives at Juniper, a small Arizona town, and with it bad things start to happen: wild animals die, laws are bent, and small shops close. I was actually a bit embarrassed in parts of it. This is a very adult book with adult situations.
Yes, there were some slow parts, but overall it was a great listen. I listened to it over the course of 2.5 days, and it was really a good listen. Yes, it really had me hooked after the first 10-15 mins. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? That is what happened for me, I just got lost in the story. The sign of a good performance is that you totally get lost in the story and you don't have to figure out the characters or who is talking. What about David Stifel’s performance did you like? I'm not one of those people that listen to a story and try to guess what will happen next, I just go with the flow and for the most part, it works for me. Yes, some parts were definitely predictable, but other parts. Well, it kept me guessing the entire time. Half way through, I started thinking of the store as the typical evil corporation. It's part thriller, part mystery, and part paranormal. Where does The Store rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
