But what do I know? Lots of other reviewers will think this is a riveting listen and multiple awards will follow?.it?s probably just me being a bit pedantic. The ending was stunningly unremarkable and had me wondering if the author was as frustrated as I was and decided to finish as abruptly as possible and move on before his dinner got cold. I?m not saying the narrator didn?t do a good job, he is after all only there to read what is in front of him, but there was no need for this interruption on top of the general frustration. The narration was punctuated by hundreds of unnecessary chapters often in the middle of the storyline. Not like a holdup guy who panics and unloads his gun into a hapless liquor store clerk, or a man who bursts into his stockbroker's office and blows his head off, and he's not like a husband who strangles his wife over a real or imagined affair. Swimsuit is a heart-pounding story of fear and desire, transporting you to a place where beauty and murder collide and unspeakable horrors are hidden within paradise. The recurring thought I had all the way through was ?what are the chances?. A true psychopathic killer is nothing like your everyday garden-variety murderer. A barely believable plot mixed with crude coincidences and an ending which left me wondering if the 7 hours could not have been better spent hanging by my thumbs! The story started off well enough, but by the time it got to the ?twist? it had become very contrived and almost comic like.
