Surprised at how good it was but it was worth it

Revisado: 02-17-18

Would you listen to A Gift of Time again? Why?

Time travel is my most enjoy genre and this is it.

What did you like best about this story?

Good new ways to look at time travel. Interesting logic.

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

Not that I am aware of.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No

Any additional comments?

Started good and strong, the middle wandered and weaved a bit but in the end it came back and finished well.

The worst one I've read by Turtledove.

Revisado: 07-11-17

Would you try another book from Harry Turtledove and/or Todd McLaren?

I will since I've read other good ones but not if this were my first.

What was most disappointing about Harry Turtledove’s story?

Poor all around.

Which character – as performed by Todd McLaren – was your favorite?

None

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

The cover was nice.

Any additional comments?

I am considering not finishing the other 10 hours and see if I can return it to Audible. Glad it wasn't my first of his to try.

Good as always for Jodi Taylor's St. Mary's but...

Revisado: 07-11-17

Where does The Very First Damned Thing rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The book was great; however, I didn't realize it was a short story.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Good

Which character – as performed by Jodi Taylor – was your favorite?

All

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

nope

Any additional comments?

My personal opinion only is that it was way too short, not a novel at all which is what I enjoy. I guess if you have read the ones in the series before this you should also read this one. I just wish it was a full blown one. Other than that as good as always!

Good author interview

Revisado: 07-09-17

This was a short interview if the author. Nothing extraordinary but interesting if you like her St. Mary's series as I do.

I'm not a fan of short stories, but...

Would you listen to Three More Jack Reacher Novellas again? Why?

Again, I do not care for short stories (like will not read them); however, Lee Child did another amazing trip for Jack Reacher. Several trips as a matter of fact. I thought Lee was as clever as ever and the stories were great, even though shorter than I prefer. Most of them could have been expanded and made into full novels. But I also see that most of them were written in the past so he probably didn't want to revisit them that much.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jack, because he is who he is. And for movie watchers that are considering reading the books - Tom Cruise is not even a close imitation of Jack Reacher.

What does Dick Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He always does a great job. He and Scott Brick are my favorites.

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

Just another Reacher experience.

Any additional comments?

Thanks Mr. Child, keep them rolling!

Well not what I expected

Revisado: 03-30-11

OK, I heard of, and watched the TV show of like-name first. Maybe that damaged my perspective; however, the book was...simply put, boring.

Way too much philosophizing and not much else. I felt like I was in a boring college lecture many times throughout. Also, the characters, who are some of the smartest scientific minds around were idiots in many of their theories.

I did finish it just "because", but will not recommend it.
