Memory Man by David Baldacci
4 out of 5 Stars
Audiobook

Chose this book because we already had it available from Audible and wanted to listen to a book on our very long-one day drive back from Arizona. I enjoy listening to audiobooks, and in particular I enjoy listening to David Baldacci works in audio format. This was a great read to pass the time while driving.

The Positives of Memory Man
It seems like with every Baldacci book my first positive comment is always about the character development in the story. This particular book was no different. Amos Decker is the main character and Baldacci does such an excellent job developing and creating this character. I enjoy a good series, but I am particularly drawn to reading more of this series because of how much I loved the development of the main character. I also appreciate the fact that Baldacci takes time to develop the secondary players as well.

The second positive for me in listening to this book was the interplay of very important social issues with the fun mystery that Baldacci was creating. I truly enjoy any good mystery, but I really enjoy it when the author is willing to tackle social issues and injustices as well.

The Negatives of Memory Man
My only real negative for this book were the narrators for the female characters. I felt like the narration of the male characters in the audio version was dynamic and enjoyable but the female characters all seemed a bit fake and forced. I really lost some of the enjoyment of this book because of the lesser quality of the narration.
