Not as fresh and fun as the first book

I really wanted to love this book, and Bronson Pinchot can make nearly any book fun. But other than the narrator, there just wasn't much to love. It was just an ok adventure with a guy I knew from before. I wish I could be more complimentary.

Brilliant Book 2

As there are so many series out there, sometimes you remember liking a book, but when it's sequel comes out it takes you a while tom re-acclimate yourself with the world and remember why you liked the first book. Yet, with Flashmob, Farnsworth quickly throws you into the fray with a blast of dirty action, quickly reminding you that this is a take no hold barred world full of shady characters and a hero whose skill set is nothing like you expect when a character is labeled with the psychic tag.

Flashmob takes off with a sonic boom and keeps pushing to the edge and you never are quite sure when your going to fall off. It all leads to a climatic battle that defies expectation. It's not just a worthy sequel, but a sequel so good it makes me appreciate the originally even more. Add to this Bronson Pinchot's authentically human performance and you have one of the can't miss audiobook experiences of the year.

Fun and Different

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes and I have

Any additional comments?

The first Christopher Farnsworth book I listened to was killfile and I have been hooked ever since burning through every single one of his book on audible.
This is a great thriller! It really makes you think about the social media world at large, while providing butt kicking action.

Super genius steps on rake

This is a preposterous book on every level. The plot is shot through with more holes than the protagonist. But there is enough fast paced action and satisfying character narration to plaster over some of the egregious issues. It’s ultimately an alright read.

Farnsworth Make a Great Story Telling Team Once Again!

Another fun high tech adventure with the nefarious bad guy cum good guy psychic hero John Smith! A globe trotting plot adds to the thrill level beyond that of his introductory book with this character “Kill File”. If you liked that one this is a must listen!

Solid all around

I'm always on the lookout for interesting new sci-fi/fantasy and this doesn't disappoint. If you liked the Nathaniel Cade series then you'll like this

Woke elitist crap

My first review ever. I read this book because a friend told me about the narrator and that it was a fun read. Narrator did a great job.
The premise of the book is dumb though. When you’re reading it, you think that the bad guy has created some sort of tech to control minds. Especially because the mind character is a mind reader. The idea is he uses this tech to get mobs to comply or attack a specific target.

What’s the tech? Nothing! Basically people see things on their phone that make them angry, and then they turn violent all at the same time. All this against the background that a tech billionaire knows what’s best for everybody and wants to rework the technology to make people have nicer thoughts. It’s amazing the author doesn’t see he’s part of the problem. Can’t resist it, several times Referring to trump and make America great. Also, there is some website called down vote and basically people get voted on to be selected for a violent act propagated against them. And guess who just can’t help themselves from carrying out these crimes. Yep, misogynist racist straight white males. Apparently they’re the only ones that the mind control works on.😂

Flash mob.

Love how Bronson Pinchot reads Christopher Farnsworth’s books. Love the story lines. I have a new favorite author.

Chris & Bronson share the Storyteller's Stick

Bronson's talent in delivering the first person dialogue brilliantly translates the author's first person narrative. These books are serious brain candy.

Great Great Great

Book 1 was great and so was Book 2. I'm hoping for a Book 3 and 4??
