In the countryside of her childhood, she is looking forward to a fresh start. But her life quickly turns dark and a malevolent force beyond her control threatens to take her daughters from her and ruin her dreams of a new life.

Predictable

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The idea was very interesting. I can absolutely see big industry testing like this and the average person would have no idea it is happening.

What about Tanya Eby’s performance did you like?

How she was able to portray the male characters voices.

Do you think The Homing needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, it was strange enough with adding a follow up to it

Any additional comments?

It is your typical John Saul book, centers around teenagers and kids. It is an alright listen, there were parts where my mind started to wonder and I would have to rewind. Typical single mom, single dad, meet and combine families in the beginning. Lots of teenage angst.

Slow Start

I really enjoyed the narration. However, the intrigue was slow to start. Once you get into the heart of the story you can't stop until the end. Although, I was a little disappointed with the ending. I'm a huge John Saul fan and as much as I did enjoy this book it's just not my favorite.

My favorite

I have read this book many times and it's always been a favorite. John Saul is an incredible writer who gives us many things to consider. Never dull or boring, Saul packs a punch

Brain Injury Survivor approved.

I have always liked John Saul books, and am enjoying the Audible versions. I used to be an avid reader, but since my brain injury occurred in 2013, I sometimes struggle with not only reading comprehension, but retaining what I read. My solution is Audible. If I have a physical copy of a book, sometimes I will follow along in the book while listening to the narrator. A way of retraining my brain.

a new phobia?

I have never been afraid of any insects, in my entire life. but, after reading this book, for the next week every time I saw a bee, my heart skipped a beat and I almost freaked out. i love John Sauls books, ever since i picked up the first book i ever read of his, "The Devil's Labyrinth." when I was 12 or 13. havent been able to put his books down yet, and dont suspect I ever will.
