About this listen

"In six days, six hours, and six minutes, I will come back and kill you.

Tell anyone, and your wife and child will die. Call the police, and your wife and child will die. Try to run, or hide, or trick me in any way, and your wife and child will die. And they will not die quickly, Blake. Theirs will not be a good death. It will be slow, and it will be bloody, and they will know the full horror of hell before I end them."

When Blake Barton opens the door to a stranger one morning, he comes face to face with an unimaginable evil. Because this stranger claims to be the devil, and he promises to kill Blake—not now, but in six days, six hours, and six minutes exactly.

Plunged into a nightmare race to save his wife and young son, Blake finds himself fighting not only the stranger but an army of young men who call themselves the devil's disciples—men who will do anything to please their master.

As time runs out, Blake realizes that in order to fight evil, he must find the devil inside himself.

And in doing so, all hell will break loose.

The brand-new thriller from the author that James Patterson calls "Fresh and ferocious!"—Six Days, Six Hours, Six Minutes is one of the most compelling and terrifying novels of the year.

Long burn story, but stick with it, I'm glad I did or would have lost a great audible book

Great story

Review for the Audiobook edition narrated by Kris Dyer.

Well, the idea is good and it's well written but somehow it just never quite hit the mark for me. The story starts off slow and stays that way for over half the book only picking up the pace towards the very end. That said I'm glad I persevered and finished it but I'm equally glad I listened to it at 1.85 speed rather than reading it. I listen while driving my work van so it helps the time and miles pass quickly. At almost 17 hours (or 500 pages) with little action it's definitely a slow burner.

Both my wife and I grabbed the book from Amazon Prime Reading but while I coughed up the cash for whispersync my wife prefers to read on her kindle. At 18% she gave up and moved on to a different book, something neither of us usually do, asking me to tell her if gets any better because it's so slow and she was wasn't inspired by it. I suspect she won't be going back to it any time soon unfortunately.

Fantastic book. So different. And the narrator brought all the characters to life. I couldn’t imagine anyone else could have narrated this story. And every time the doorbell rang and the narrator sang the doorbell I was in fits. Brilliant book. Brilliant narrator. Thank you so much.

Absolutely amazing

Not sure if the story was found wanting or not, unfortunately the narration was very poor and spoiled the book.

Poor Narrator.

Blimey! That was something else!
I honestly thought it was never going to end. Really enjoyed it though, although it was very dark. It had me on tender hooks. The only reason I haven’t given it 5 stars is due to the irritation caused by the narration. One of the previous reviews said the narrator sounded like someone famous who I won’t mention but once I’d heard it I couldn’t unhear it. Bit gruesome in places too

The book that never ends

A terrifying rollercoaster that will leave you shouting out ‘Run’ in your sleep. Although l wouldn't recommend reading this horror/thriller before you go to sleep, it will leak into your thoughts.
Who knew that simply answering your front door could lead to such misery? From the start to the finish, Smith has your pulse racing, fast, very fast. Action-packed and mesmerising.
A great read

4/5

It's definitely not a bedtime story!

Where to start?
A pointer to the narrator, please don't give up your day job, you're going to need it. You made the villain sound like Jim from Friday Night Dinner. The combination of poor narration and the irritation of the author's portrayal of the main protagonist as the king of all ninnies did nothing for me, it's very rare that I give up on a book but I came very close with this.
Was it the author or the publisher who couldn't make their minds up which nation this work was aimed at? Supposedly set in and around Norwich, UK, apparently the police drive around in "cruisers" for part of the story and who'd have thunk that "douche bag" was even a thing in Norfolk apart from the USAF base. Petrol becomes gasoline and back, ooh look a parking lot etc. If you want to Americanise something go the whole hog and just base it in Detroit or somewhere, don't make a half assed job of it by changing the odd word on an inconsistent basis. Could have been a cracking book but irritating and ultimately a waste of a credit.

Oh, what could have been

I was bored early on by the weak, passive protagonist and his continual whining. I found all the characters to be unlikeable, even the child - a whiny brat like his father.

And the pointless unbelievable actions of the antagonist and his coterie stretched suspension of disbelief too far.

I did persist as I've enjoyed other Alex Smith novels, but this was poor by comparison and the lack of believable motive for the antagonist meant the whole thing lacked plausible reason.

Not for me.

Not for me, but you may like it.
