Historia
Mount Kilimanjaro is sometimes called "Everyman's Everest" because it is possible for a novice climber to reach the summit. And every year, more than 30,000 adventure tourists try. But for each person who goes to the mountain, there are thousands more who chat about it at parties, making plans to go...someday. That's how Daniel Dorr got started: flirting with a beautiful brunette and spouting impressive plans. Six months later, he was lying on the gravel trail at 18,000 feet, panting and hacking in the darkness.

Historia
For thousands of years, the faithful have honed proselytizing strategies and talked people into believing the truth of one holy book or another. Indeed, the faithful often view converting others as an obligation of their faith - and are trained from an early age to spread their unique brand of religion. The result is a world broken in large part by unquestioned faith. As an urgently needed counter to this tried-and-true tradition of religious evangelism, this audiobook offers the first-ever guide not for talking people into faith - but for talking them out of it.

I am an atheist. This book did not add anything to the conversation. I found the examples to be shallow.

Historia
This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

don't get it
Revisado: 03-28-16
Not only was this not a surprising sexual fantasy, it was poorly written. The narrator was horrible.
my inner goddess decided to hang herself instead of being subjected to this unoriginal, prude, chicken scratch being called a book.
I already figure it would be silly, but I didn't expect it to be so poorly written. I'm shocked that it made it past the editors desk in this condition.
the narrator was not effective at letting you know what Anna was thinking vs saying out loud. that is a big deal in first person.
I have returned the book.

Historia
Bill Wile is an easygoing, hardworking guy who leads a quiet, ordinary life. But that is about to change. One evening, after his usual eight-hour bartending shift, he finds a typewritten note under the windshield wiper of his car. If you don’t take this note to the police and get them involved, I will kill a lovely blond schoolteacher. If you do take this note to the police, I will instead kill an elderly woman active in charity work. You have four hours to decide. The choice is yours.

the narrator did a great job, this is one of Dean Koontz mid level books, good story but the conclusion is a bit rushed.

- Saint Odd
- Odd Thomas, Book 7
- De: Dean Koontz
- Narrado por: David Aaron Baker
the narration was good as always, the story was no
Revisado: 01-14-15
What would have made Saint Odd better?
The story has no meaning, the ending was devoid of depth. To end this series with such little imagination was not a smart choice.
If Dean had written this book 10 years ago I would have been able to stand it.
Has Saint Odd turned you off from other books in this genre?
This book has ensured that as an avid Koontz reader I will not waste my time, nor money on any future writing of his.
He has run out of ideas, and the ability to see them through.
No longer convincing, no longer able to produce a re readable book.
It feels like he is writing bored now. Odd deserved more than this.
Have you listened to any of David Aaron Baker’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
The narrator was great, love his voice and pace.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Saint Odd?
The last four chapters. But they would have had to be re written.
Any additional comments?
When you spend two books trying to create an enigma, don't just sweep them away with silly endings, don't leave so many unaddressed story lines.
