re-write

Revisado: 01-15-24

This story is not the story written by Louis L'amour. It has been totally re-written.
This story is so-so as it is nowhere as good as the original.

Utopia

Revisado: 04-25-23

Prior to purchasing this book, I listened to the sample. The book sounded interesting, and the narrattom was good.
To my surprise, the book was just mediocre.
The hero of this story finds a spaceship and decides to build utopia. He then sends for his friends a Marine Force Recon team.
Needless to say, this group is a cross between the A-Team and the X-Men, with a dash of Stargate SG1 tossed in.
For me, this book was a huge mistake. I decided not to give out any more information so as not to destroy the book for someone else.

Scandalous? No. Surprising, yes.

Revisado: 02-06-23

When I began this book, I did not read it for scandal. The only reason I bought it was his interview with Stephen Colbert. Harry reads this book in a monotone and gives no clues about his feelings. His feelings are in his words.
This is the memories of a member of a dysfunctional family. Many of the incidents can be related to by the reader/listener.
Harry speaks about his sometimes contentious relationship with his brother. Yes, I had the same with my 7 siblings. Harry mentioned that at Eton, William told him to pretend they weren't brothers. Translation, William wanted to hang around people his own age. we all do after a while.
Harry talks about smoking pot at Eton. Where were his guards? Why didn't the school know about this? I pondered the lack of "protection" Harry received.
He mentions, in passing, about his trouble learning. There is no mention of being treated for a learning disorder.
When he meets Meghan, he becomes nauseating. At this point, family stress appears, and the situation starts to spin out of control.
On the whole, I'm glad I read it.

Narration

Revisado: 11-29-22

There are 2 narrators performing the same characters. Why this was done is beyond comprehension. I expected the characters to be divided male narrator doing male characters and the same for the female characters with the female narrator. I don't like listening to double narration and find it annoying.
The story is average and flows along fairly smoothly.
Will I buy it? No, as I do not like how they did the narration.

it's ok

Revisado: 11-14-22

This isn't a usual story, but it does entertain.
There is no high excitement, but it is an easy listen.
Unlike some stories, you can't skip any of the story, or you will get confused. Which is a change.
The characters are familiar but are written in an unexpected way.
I might get another volume just to see how the messenger changes the next world.

PALADIN

Revisado: 11-02-22

On the whole, I enjoyed the book. I have read quite a few stories about the collapse of our civilization.
This is the first book that has a positive spin on the subject.
It has people who refuse to accept the fact that society has changed and wants life as it was before. Criminal gangs roving about or taking over areas by intimidation. There are people who are attempting to rebuild society, one group at a time.
The only weak spot is that the ending is slap dash. It is as if the author has become tired of writing the story. From the way the ending has been written, I have no doubt that a sequel is in the works. I plan to check it out.

Magical Private Detective

Revisado: 06-14-22

This is the second of a new series and as such shows a lot of weakness. It does have potential to be a top notch Detective story.
I found it mildly entertaining but I do have trouble with focusing attention.
The narrator on the other hand needs improvement. Her voices are close in sound which is distracting. Elise's voice has a slur which I don't recall from the earlier story.
So far her ghost partner has very little to do with the story. I hope this changes.

An Invitation to Disbelief

Revisado: 12-04-21

This story has a major problem, the author has no clue about the sexual mores of English High Society.
Debutante 's are being killed and they are having affairs with Lord's.
17 and 18 year old girls go straight from the school room to Society Balls for the sole reason of finding a husband.
I cannot see how a Debutante can get away from supervision long enough to have a sexual encounter with a experienced male. Add to that I doubt she would have the panache to be able to meet her lover in public with or without his wife and not become flustered.
This book is the type of story that I hate. A story that the writer did not research and the Editor did not flag a having a problem.

Definitely not Sugarland.

Revisado: 08-30-21

This story is darker and has more depth than any story of Angie Fox's that I have read.
While there is humor in the story, I didn't do more than chuckle. Could be my mood as it was dark while listening to the story.
Having watched MASH, both the movie and series, I much prefer this story as I became tired of the juvenile antics in the series. This story feels more real as I could relate to the emotions of the characters.
One character named Face reminds me of the A-Team; which is a program that I detest. Face is well named as he shows one face to his coworker's and only shows his real face to his enemies.
I did feel that this story has a feeling of 2021 politics at times.
I probably will listen to the next installment.

Book 2 better than book 1

Revisado: 07-06-21

This book starts out at a faster pace and with humor. Because of this my interest was immediate. The author has improved the story cohesiveness but it still needs improving.
The reader still can't do male voices while her reading is deliberate and not fluid.
Sometimes the story feels forced but mostly it flows along smoothly.
I adore the Brownie troop which brought back memories of my Mom's Cub troop. The interaction between Merry and the troop was the highlight of the story for me.
Give this book a try as it is much better than the 1st.
