A review by frasersimons
The Brotherhood of the Rose by David Morrell
3.0
Fun, and with a full cast production, easy to listen to. It’s a bit too over the top for me. I kept vacillating between 2 and 3 stars even though it was a pleasure to listen to because it’s almost like a soap opera in its twists and turns, not to mention subject matter just in the synopsis of the book!
There is quite a bit of padding when it comes to knowledge of trade craft and weapons and other tools of the trade that it clearly tries to give the plot a bit more credibility, but it just seems kind of odd to me to do that with such high drama. It’s certainly an odd pairing between that and the action. A fun read, but it tries to appeal to people who would need to turn off their brain to suspend disbelief regarding the family drama, but also the people who want so much detail it feels real, ala Tom Clancy, or something like it. Very strange.
