Stranger in a Strange Land is the epic saga of an earthling, Valentine Michael Smith, born and educated on Mars, who arrives on our planet with “psi” powers—telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis, teleportation, pyrolysis, and the ability to take control of the minds of others—and complete innocence regarding the mores of man. After his tutelage under a surrogate father figure, Valentine begins his transformation into a kind of messiah.

A bit boring and lackluster finale.
Revisado: 09-21-21
The first one was much better. The characters are still good, though. Should have been about half as long.

Skillfully narrated by voice actor Mark Turetsky, The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers is a classic in the field of the supernatural. The series of 10 short stories is named after a fictional play of the same name which induces madness in the minds of those that read it. The Yellow King and Carcosa were often alluded to in a popular TV series True Detective, where evil and madness are often a theme.

The stories about the King in Yellow are very good, but most of the others are a bit dull.

- De: Samantha Shannon

Mostly for girls
Revisado: 09-14-13
What would have made The Bone Season better?
The biggest problem is that it is compared to Harry Potter. Harry Potter is easily enjoyed by both men and women of all ages, but The Bone Season is mostly for girls, aged 15-30. It is also very easy to anticipate what will happen in the narrative. Compare this book to the Twilight series instead of the Harry Potter series.
Would you be willing to try another book from Samantha Shannon? Why or why not?
The story in itself isn't half bad, and some of the action is pretty decent. Change it from a first person teenager narrative to something else and I think it will work much better.
Would you be willing to try another one of Alana Kerr’s performances?
It depends on the book. Her voice is not very engaging, especially for the main character. But some of the other characters wasn't so bad.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The story is interesting, and I like the setting very much. The world and the politics are also interesting. If you like Twilight, then this book is definitely for you. If you like Harry Potter but not Twilight then you will most probably not find this book that good.
Any additional comments?
A good youth novel, but cannot in any way be compared to the Harry Potter series.

Funny "parody" of sappy vampire tales.
Revisado: 07-09-10
Very funny with memorable characters. Not a masterpiece. The language and narrative does very little to challenge the reader. I got a bit of a Dan Brown feeling when listening to it. If this is meant as a book for youths then it is dead on.
The audio is very good. The characters have very good voices and they can be visualized from the narrator alone.
I would recommend this book if you are looking for an easy and funny story.
