The Bookcassette Adapter gives you balance control on your headphones and is so easy to use: Plug it into the stereo jack of your personal tapeplayer and then plug your headphones into the other side. The Bookcassette Adapter Works ONLY on Stereo Tapeplayers. If you plan on listening to Bookcassette audio books on a stereo system where you can adjust the sound between the left and right speakers separately, such as a rack system with separate left and right speaker controls or a car stereo with a left and right balance dial, you will be able to listen to Bookcassette audio books without a problem. If you plan on listening to these audio books on a portable cassette player that does not have this capability, such as a Walkman with headphones, you will require an adapter. As I said, it would be cheaper to buy it on the Internet, especially on eBay, instead of directly from the company (Brilliance Corporation) at 1-800-697-6797

I have thoroughly enjoyed all of Ridley Peason's books until I read this overlong diatribe. The book is way too long. If he cut it down by about 150 pages, it would have been much, much better. Examples of his excessive writing are: 1- The 5 sex scenes between LaMoia and Hill. Two would have achieved his intended objective. 2- The episode in the airport. This could have been halved and still maintained its intended effect. 3- The final 100 pages could have been halved as well. 4- Chicken ending... vague and sucked. Flemming should have been arrested for murder, plain and simple. And re LeMoia being reinstated, etc., that part was vague as well. In this one Pearson lost the plot and was trying to be too detailed which ruined the book... How many movies have you seen that could have been cut down? The same applies here. Pearson is a good writer and I hope his anal writing in PP is not carried over into future books. I gave this one star based, not on other books, but on other Pearson books.

This was my first Ridley Pearson, and I am so thankful to my friend for suggesting him! It was everything I look for in a mystery. Clever plot, believable characters, building suspense, and a satisfying ending. This is one of the few mysteries that actually uses it's brains to catch the bad guy, instead of discovering him by accident. The evidence does its job here, and they use it in ingenious ways. A great book!
