Complexity is great sometimes, but I just wasn't in the mood for that, if you know what I mean. I was looking for something with action and suspense, but not a thousand different characters and multiple story lines coming together. This book was exactly what I wanted to listen to last week. Jeffrey Kafer does a great job and belongs in one of the top two tiers of narrators. I see too, I believe they have made a series on one of the channels about his Pines series. I am really liking the books I have read by Crouch so far and will listen to more. For me the entertainment value, the fast pace, the evil characters, and the real feeling of what it might be like to lose a loved one in this way, over shadowed the flaws and kept the book at a five star rating for me. A father taking his child into some very dangerous situations, one too many twists (as mentioned by other reviewers), people getting the crap beat out of them or frost bitten or chewed up by wolves and then coming back from the dead so to speak to kick ass (as mentioned by other reviewers). THE LEATHERING OF HER FACE The book has flaws and is a little unbelievable in parts. It is also written by Blake Crouch, who is famous for this type of book. This is a shoot-em up mystery that involves lots of sex and violence and I don't believe the author has tried to hide that at anytime.

What's not to like? The rating is a little low in this because some women who didn't read the reviews and who had absolutely no idea what they were getting into rated the book. It involves a family man lawyer, a former FBI agent, a teenager with Cystic Fibrosis, a rogue special forces group that goes bad, a truck driver and the Alaskan Mob. This book starts in Arizona goes through Canada and ends up in the middle of nowhere Alaska. A few twists and a mystery that needs solved. A strong female lead who may or may not be a good guy. Extremely entertaining from start to finish. THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT A 12 GAUGE, IS YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A GREAT SHOT. NOT THE PIECE OF COMFORT PIE YOU WERE LOOKING FOR
