Least enjoyable of the series

Revisado: 06-22-20

Of the entire series, this is my least favorite book.
Too much going on, all the side stories, now it’s about 3 main characters instead of all about Atticus & Oberon, with minor characters.
Now it’s 3 main characters plus their minute side characters.

Yawn.

too much of nothing going on

Revisado: 02-26-15

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

There were way too many characters in this book. More than once I had to ask myself "Who is this person?", "Has this character been in the book yet?", "Who is this character?" Overlapping and mixing so many different stories and lives into one story is a good idea, it just didn't work out very well for me in this one.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Blake Somerset?

Yeah. I enjoyed his narration.

What character would you cut from Last Summer?

Too many to list. I realize not every character is going to be exciting or interesting to everyone, but there were just too many in this one. After getting about 2/3 of the way through this book I started hitting the :30 forward button, to skip past the story lines that seemed like too much filler.

Short book, but enjoyable

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

Yeah, as long as they were looking for a book under 3 hours! I normally look for books that run longer but decided to give this one a try. Not amazing, but it was enjoyable.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Blue Days?

I don't think any one thing really stood out to me more than another. Being under 3 hours, it almost felt like it was over before it really got very far!

If you could sum up Blood on the Mountain in three words, what would they be?

Loved this book!

Have you listened to any of Finn Sterling’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was his first performance I listened to, but I thought he fit it perfectly. Jake, Kurt, he did perfectly. Then when he read Jake's Mom's parts I laughed. Other times I cried when he read her parts. Excellent narration.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laugh? Yes. Cry? Yes. Loved it? Absolutely.

started intense, then turned into nothing special

Revisado: 02-18-15

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

falling for a homeless guy? maybe if there weren't so many panhandlers in my city then this could have been a bit more believable :-/ It started out great and I had high hopes for it. Unfortunately the book didn't deliver.

How could the performance have been better?

the performance overall was decent, just a bad story.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I did like the relationship between Jace and his sister.... And the store owner, the older man who gave Jace a job so that he would have less idle time. I liked his part in the story also. The book got so bad I have already forgotten character's names...and I don't care enough about the book to do an internet search to find out their names.

Any additional comments?

Huge let down.

just about every cliche can be found in this book

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I have a couple of coworkers who would probably like it. I sure didn't.

What was most disappointing about Jake Wells’s story?

the narrator

How did the narrator detract from the book?

definitely.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I didn't even finish it, only got about half way through it. So if it had any redeeming qualities, maybe there were in the second half.

perfect end for the series

Revisado: 04-08-14

Would you listen to The Dead Sun again? Why?

Dead Sun started off as "another" Star Force book, battling alien races, fighting for survival. I even took a couple weeks off, after getting about halfway through. Then it all turned around! So many unexpected twists in the story. So glad I started it again. Great ending for the series.

same story, different volume

What disappointed you about Hammered?

it was the same story as the previous books, just with more F bombs. In this one they just go after Thor, but otherwise it is all the same. Nothing special here.

Would you ever listen to anything by Kevin Hearne again?

meh, maybe.

Would you be willing to try another one of Luke Daniels’s performances?

Yes

What character would you cut from Hammered?

Thor. And Coyote.
Horrible.

Any additional comments?

stupid. a waste of my time. bleh.

What disappointed you about The Druid Stone?

I made it through 6 chapters, hoping it would get better and actually get somewhere. It never did.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Don't know yet. I'll start looking.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Ian Ruane?

the narrator reminded me of a leprechaun. Had a hard time getting in to it.

What character would you cut from The Druid Stone?

meh, I don't know about cutting characters.

Any additional comments?

this was a wasted credit. :-/

Best Star Trek yet!

Revisado: 05-24-12

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

Absolutely! This is one of my favorite books ever. I love the idea of looking at Star Trek from the beginning, when the Enterprise crew could have first met. Quinto's narration is exciting and emotional, two things that are not always present in Star Trek of the past.

Which scene was your favorite?

The part of this book that stands out the most to me involves Spock and his relationship with his mother and the emotion that Quinto gives to the scene when Spock's mother dies.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed over and over with things Kirk, in his cocky attitude, says to others, from the bar to the academy, and also with the way Bones responds to others. Best Star Trek yet.
