L'empire des loups

By: Jean-Christophe Grangé

Narrated by: Véronique Groux de Miéri, José Heuzé

Tout avait commencé avec la peur. Tout finirait avec elle. Pourquoi la mémoire d'Anna part-elle en lambeaux ? Pourquoi est-elle hantée par ces visages qui se délitent ? Crimes rituels ou punitions abominables ? Qui est le meurtrier de ces jeunes Turques retrouvées atrocement mutilées dans le Xe arrondissement de Paris ?

Jean-Christophe Grangé nous entraîne dans un maelström de violence et d'horreur, un long cauchemar sanglant sous l'emprise de l'organisation criminelle la plus redoutable et la plus secrète qu'il soit : les Loups gris.

Thrilling, mysterious, exciting!

I really enjoyed listenning this audiobook. It was mysterious and thrilling. The sound effects are somehow annoying and mostly not necessary but the performance of the narrators is perfect. It is obvious that a lot of effort and thought was invested to achieve a flowless narration. The music after each chapter is a bit weird but I thought that is made on purpose.
Despite the fact that the story uses real places and historical elements and personages, it is fiction, action, thriller and as many of such genre of stories are, at times it may not feel realistic; so it is a question of taste. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book.

Embarrassing

What would have made L'empire des loups better?

Credibility and less ridiculous narrators.

Has L'empire des loups turned you off from other books in this genre?

Definitely.

How could the performance have been better?

The sound effects were sometimes rather ridiculous, and the book could have done without them.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from L'empire des loups?

All the drama and killing. None of it worked.

Any additional comments?

This really reads like a horrible action movie.
