Summary
Please note: This title contains mature content, including depictions of physical and sexual violence. Listener discretion advised.
The Gift is an exciting edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller by international best-selling author Sebastian Fitzek, performed by listener favorite Ari Fliakos.
Con man Milan Berg has a photographic memory. But he’s hiding a secret: He can’t read. Unable to interpret the world around him, Milan finds increasingly crafty ways to navigate it. That is, until he comes across a car in traffic with a girl in the back seat. She desperately holds a written note up to the window, but what does it say?
Fearing the girl is in mortal danger, Milan determines to search for her. As he follows a series of clues, each darker and scarier than the next, he’s thrust into a nightmarish odyssey with a deepening, disturbing progression: The clues are tied to his past. Lost in a web of lies, his world is upended as he lands in prison for a crime he claims he didn’t commit. Under the threat of death by his cellmates, Milan recounts his entire story to them from the beginning.
Will Milan save himself and the girl? Is he innocent and telling the truth? Or is he a master manipulator delivering one huge con?

The story is Ok and I like the twists
I did like the story with all its twists. However I think the narrator sounds robotic and I absolutely hate that he can’t pronounce German words. It’s the bare minimum that place names are pronounced correctly, no matter the accent.
The plot is extremely twisted (which I like), so you really need to pay attention to get it. The terrible narration makes it really hard to follow the plot

Just ok
I have read, and very much enjoyed other of Sebastian Fitzek’s books. His trade mark complex plots and twists and turns make his books addictive reading/listening. HOWEVER, the narration of this book wasn’t great, and I did find, as other reviewers have mentioned, that some plot lines were hard to follow because it jumped around. Wasn’t really prepared for the twist in the tail though!

Confused . Com!
The story was intense .. lots of characters and lots of twists.
I think I lost the plot a few times. I ploughed on but I’m not sure if I would recommend.

Um final magnífico
Um final inesperado adorei !…o Sebastian não desilude ….personagens bem construídas…a narração poderia ter voz feminina acho que daria uma melhor audição versus compreensão

i usually love Sebastian Fitzek's books..
i found this one incredible hard to get through. i don't know if it was the narrator and the accent, which was so far removed from German that it felt completely wrong, or the loops Fitzek puts in all his books. maybe I just got lost along the way, but by the end I had absolutely no idea what was going on and why :(

Lots of twists and turns which were good but also confusing….some nasty characters in it!
Narration was so-so. Had to really work out what the hell was happening

So fragmented I’m totally lost on the plot!
I absolutely love Fitzek’s books and am a huge fan of his writing but this book missed the mark for me. I listened to the end thinking it would all come together but I have more questions than answers - and not in a good way. I was left (unsuccessfully!) to google the plot to get some closure but sadly nothing is out there. Really disappointed in the story but narrator is great!
