Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.   ) BeautyinRuins | Mar 19, 2013 |  I enjoyed this novel for its story line as well as the main character. I’m a fan of Decker’s wit and his true-to-life persona. The author knows his characters well and writes them with consistency. They are not all good or all bad but a mixture of both. I know I’m reading a good book when a likeable main character admits to an unlikable trait. The story has twists and turns and enough suspense that I wanted to keep reading to find out what happens. In this second novel, there are more explanations of the synesthete ability and what happens when someone is using it - though it could be I just picked up more on the effects of using this sensory ability in this book than I did in the first, nevertheless, it rounds out the story and leaves the reader with the impression that more will be revealed in the next novel. A Murder of Crows is a polished, well-written novel that explores what happens when a person is born with a gift that can be used for both good and evil. I like to think that if I had this special gift, I would use it only for good, but the temptation to serve one’s heart desire must be great. Decker faces this dilemma and more in this great series. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes a mix of genres. Give it a try! ( ) Sensory | Mar 12, 2013 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
David Rotenberg's Decker Roberts is back, and he always knows when who's telling the truth. Decker Roberts is back, and he always knows when you're telling the truth. David Rotenberg first introduced Decker Roberts and his unique gifts in the critically acclaimed thriller The Placebo Effect. Since Decker's last run-in with the NSA, he's been trying to remain off the radar, searching for his estranged son, Seth. Decker's synaesthetic abilities, once a lucrative gift, are increasingly becoming a liability. When a vicious attack wipes out the best and brightest of America's young minds, devastating the country's future, Decker is forced to step out of the shadows and help track down the killer. And as the hunt brings him in contact with other people of "his kind," Decker begins to realize that there may be depths to his gifts that he had never even imagined. Meanwhile, several parties are secretly tracking the progress of Decker's son, trying to determine if Seth has the same powerful gift as his father. Decker is determined to go to any lengths to find his son, but along the way he will have to face down enemies, both old and new, as well as struggle with whether Seth even wants to be found. David Rotenberg's thrilling sequel to The Placebo Effect is full of suspense and will challenge what you think you know about people who have special "gifts." From rural Africa to downtown Toronto, the paths of Rotenberg's colourful characters intertwine as they move toward a conclusion that none of them can see coming.
