Barely interesting!
Any additional comments?
The writing just clunked along. It may be interesting to discover the culprit at the end, but to get there we must go through many, many hours of a repetitive, predicable account of 'child goes missing, parents upset, Police search, nasty comments on social media'. For me, its not worth a credit. Returned.

Best this year so far.
This is a brilliant book and I could not stop listening to the story. It is such clever writing that you change who you think is guilty chapter by chapter. Good plausible story, excellent narration. Well recommended

Cracking story
What made the experience of listening to Burnt Paper Sky the most enjoyable?
I enjoyed listening to the different characters version of the story, a bit different to the usual crime novel .It also kept me guessing wrong all the way through brilliant .
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me think more about the awful things parents must go through when a child is missing a lot of thought went into this book I think
Any additional comments?
I would definetly recommend this book

Thought provoking
One could not help but think of people who had been through losing a child as illustrated in the book. Held my breath when he was found I so wanted him to be alive. Excellent story

Narrators excellent - story ok
The excellent narrators kept me going with this book to the end - another reviewer said this book could have been much shorter which I agree with - there was a lot of padding , over descriptive of every person and scene. One of the characters talked about a dream they had - real life friends talking about dreams is boring let alone fictional people talking about fictional dreams ! Felt the author was overly self indulgent. The story was ok but the book was mainly about the characters rather than the story. I had listened to The Nanny which was really excellent , so was disappointed by this one.

Couldn't get into this
I just could not get into this book and after repeating the first few chapters twice, I gave up and returned it.
Maybe you need to be in the right mindset for the story,

Very dull.
I listen to 5 or 6 books a month and this was the first one in a long time that I literally couldn't finish. The narration was ok. .
