Review: Broken by Don Winslow, read by Ray Porter and Kaleo Griffith
Broken is another fantastic book from a master storyteller! Readers and listeners will be treated to a collection of 6 Amazing Stories that perfectly capture the author’s talent, brilliance and wit. At the same time, each of these stories will be dramatic, dark, hopeful, funny, gritty and familiar to some fans.
We will meet completely new characters, with their own flaws, fears and complicated lives, we will root for them until they reach the breaking point and will continue to do so until their story ends. Without me giving anything away, I want to tell you that I was delighted to see returning and beloved characters from other works by Don Winslow.
I am blown away everytime I listen to an audiobook by his brilliant writing style, by the lifelike characters in his stories and by the way he vividly describes every location, action and series of events.
Don Winslow, with the help of his narrator, literally makes you see in your mind’s eye everything he has put down on the page and with Broken we have two topnotch actors – Ray Porter and Kaleo Griffith – to entertain us for the over 12 hours of playtime.
Bestselling and award winning author Don Winslow is without a doubt one of the best thriller writers out there. I listened to many of his books, including The Cartel, The Force, The Border, The Power of the Dog, California Fire and Life, Savages and The Dawn Patrol and I cannot recomend all these book enough to all of you.
I listened to Broken until 4 a.m and actually dreamed about being in one of the stories, so you can imagine what impact this collection had on my mind. Get it, you’ll love it! Unputdownable, dramatic, completely immersive and extremely entertaining, Broken is a clear contender for the best short stories collection of the year 2020.
I also post reviews or articles at the author, narrator or publisher’s request, so, if you are in need of assistance in finding the perfect narrator for your book or just want to have a review on my blog, do get in touch.
