Good story
This book turned out to be something very different to what I was expecting. I'm parts I found myself lost until I started putting it all together.

Throughout the book,I just kept thinking that I'd read similar,but better.
It never really gripped me...at times it was ridiculous,but without being amusingly so....
Everyone else seems to like it,so maybe it's just me.

An interesting weave of plots and characters.

I thought this was very interesting listen but very confusing at times. I really enjoyed the twists and turns that at times is rather shocking. There were a few times my mouth fell open and I thought oh my. I never really got a handle on this audio beside the high government wants Morgan dead because they thought he knows something he should not. I never worked out what was so important about the tape from what I could tell the only important it has is that Morgan loved it and it fit his feeling...

Tears of Glass feels like a narrative constructed for a screen rather than a novel. There were quite a few moments where visual cues would have significantly helped the reader get a better idea of what was happening.Morgan is an ex-football player that seems to be holding a bit of nostalgia for those days. He has the classic ‘bad boy’ feel to him, without embracing the excess hostility or emotional distress. Which, I suppose is a good thing considering people around him are dying left and right....

Tears of Glass is a fantastically well written, fast paced story that kept me at the edge of my seat throughout. The scene setting is perfect and the characters development is amazing as well. His writing is extremely vivid and his attention to detail is worthy of endless praise. He makes picturing the story incredibly easy and in spite of being quite complex, it is surprisingly easy to grasp the story fully and trust me, I enjoyed reading every bit of it.All in all, Tears of Glass by David Lake...

** Review of Audio Format **Mind BendingThere is so much going on in this book. It reminded me of the Jason Bourne series. When former football star, now an architect, John Morgan's drinking becomes out of control, he hooks up with a debutante of sorts. Suddenly, people around Morgan are dying all sorts of bizarre and violent deaths. Why is he being singled out and where can he turn to stop the bloodshed? From the Queen's own secret branch of thugs to the CIA and Russians there is something goin...

My original Tears of Glass audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.Tears of Glass by David Lake is an unusual listen with its unique production of the written word and weaving it successfully with a sound track of music representing the late 60’s-80’s time period. The music connects with the listener reminding them of a time long gone and yet hooks the listener with its beat and lyrics.Morgan is a man who finds himself a failure at everything he has done from his jo...

Outstanding Read!! I was hooked from the very first chapter and was kept mesmerized by the fantastic characters and flow of the story. The author has gone above and beyond with his elaborate show of both book and musical all rolled into one, I loved it. Finally, an interactive book for adults that is both stimulating to the mind, calming to the heart and soothing to the ears. Kudos to Mr. Lake for his wonderful creation, please give us more!!!

Excellent and thought provoking. A cross between Dr.Strangelove and Easy Rider. The copy I have has a tape cassette of original music by a wonderful singer- songwriter and the tracks are an integral part of the narrative.A failed quarterback, failed husband and failed architect, runs to the LA deserts when he realises someone is trying to kill him. He meets up with a girl and they are both become a target. They have no idea why, but it coincided with the main character, Morgan, finding the tape....
