Each character was both realistic and also a caricature. Some important ideas about the power of words and bullying but a little heavy handed and some of the plot turns didn't make a lot of sense ( ) Someone in the small town of Marlo is listening in on private conversations and posting them on a website. The residents of the town are intrigued but there are many consequences of these private conversations being made public. Some walk away with hurt feelings or away from cheating hubands but the ultimate price may cost someone their life. Someone in the small town of Marlo is listening in on private conversations and posting them on a website. The residents of the town are intrigued but there are many consequences of these private conversations being made public. Some walk away with hurt feelings or away from cheating hubands but the ultimate price may cost someone their life. This story has an interesting premise and looks at the power of our words. In the small town of Marlo, citizens are suddenly finding their private conversations on the Internet for the world to read. I quite enjoyed this book even though the characters were a bit two dimensional there was enough in the storyline to keep me reading. I guessed fairly early on who the creator of the website was but it was interesting seeing how the people of Marlo reacted when their private words became public. "Listen" reinforces the fact that we should listen more and talk less, and that our words can hurt and damage as easily as they can praise and comfort. An enjoyable read. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Nothing ever happens in the small town of Marlo . . . until the residents begin seeing their private conversations posted online for everyone to read. Then it's neighbor against neighbor, friend against friend, as paranoia and violence escalate. The police scramble to identify the person responsible for the posts and pull the plug on the Website before it destroys the town. But what responsibility do the people of the town have for the words they say when they think no one is listening? Life and death are in the power of the tongue.
