The major conflict in the story was intriguing, as well; however, the abridged narration made a seemingly good plot come off like a group of people who thought they were tough and wanted to play gangsters. In general, I felt like all I got was the outsides of an Oreo - just the cookie with no stuff in the middle to hold the pieces together. All that missing stuff is vital to making the read/listen a full experience. That's why it was written in the first place. Needless to say, it was disappointing and has reassured me in my decision to not listen to abridged audiobooks. No fault of the author - I don't think I would be pleased if someone chopped up my writing. Originally posted on: Thoughts of Joy ( ) ThoughtsofJoyLibrary | Jul 6, 2012 | Single mother, struggling sculptor, and newly selected juror Annie Laird doesn't realize her danger when she agrees to participate in the murder trial of mob boss Louie Buffano. This changes quickly enough when Annie meets "the Teacher," a handsome, dangerous and volatile member of Buffano's familia. The Teacher makes it immediately apparent that if she agrees to cooperate, he can help make her career. If she refuses to do so, her life and that of her son may be forfeit. The tension rises as Annie struggles to find a way to save her family without giving in to the Teacher's increasing demands. Review: If the plot sounds vaguely familiar, you may have watched the 1996 movie version with Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin. The audiobook is equally fast paced and absorbing without the strength of Alec Baldwin's portrayal of the Teacher and the weaknesses of Demi Moore's Annie Laird. Overall, The Juror is action packed, suspenseful and highly entertaining. (  ) gaby317 | Jul 26, 2009 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Annie Laird is Juror 224. A sculptor with a career going nowhere. A single mother struggling to raise a son. A good citizen who has been summoned to what looks like a rountine tour of civic duty. But the trial she is called to serve on is no ordinary trial. It is a mob trial, whose outcome has been meticulously orchestrated by a man of insidious power and deadly precision. A man who lives by the teachings of Lao Tsu...whose magnetism is irresistible...whose mind is as brilliant as it is twisted. He is know to some as the Teacher, and he's set his sights on Annie Laird. Pulled into the most chilling depths of the criminal underworld, Annie will be seduced by double-edged promises, stalked by the spector of terror, then, finally, driven to a shocking decision by the most basic motivation a woman can know. THE JUROR is a tour de force of crime and obsession, evil and innocence -- a story that taps into fears so primal they linger long after the last page has been read.
