Just let Stefan Rudnicki read... Seriously.

Revisado: 04-02-13

I've read and listened to the entire Ender cannon... So, when another book comes up I have to read it, if only to "complete" the series. If you love all things Ender this is a must and a repeat listen. My biggest complaint is too many readers, or the lack of Rudnicki's narration.

Not Ender

Revisado: 03-20-13

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

To a friend, no because I keep my nerdery close to the vest. But to a fantasy fan, YES!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I like the coolness of Stone. He's a nice guy with a consistent personality. I also like Wad/Loki. Loki is a tragic, smart, awful creature...

Which scene was your favorite?

When Danny drops the goons in the ocean. It was a glimpse into his potential abuse of power. I liked the emergence and abruptness of the act.

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

Yep, I bing listen when I have been waiting for the story to continue.

Any additional comments?

Whatever you think of OSC, his offbeat politics, etc. He's a great story teller. This series is well worth a listen.

Red Eyes Smiling on an Interdictor Star Destroyer

Revisado: 03-16-13

If you could sum up Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Book 3: The Last Command in three words, what would they be?

New Republic Birth

What did you like best about this story?

This was an excellent conclusion to the trilogy. I'm saddened by the fact that the new movies are going to develop independently from this time line... But read away! If you love Luke like I love Luke, this is the book for you.

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

Marc is the voice of the extended universe, on of the best narrators period.

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

Nooope, just a solid 5 stars.

Great but Short (Not Martin)

Revisado: 03-16-13

I have a deep and abiding love of Disneyland, so does Steve Martin. If you like his comedy styling, close up magic, 5 string banjos, and anecdotal stories read by a legendary comedian then credits ahoy!!!

Ankh-Morpork, a city of Steampunky goodness.

Revisado: 03-16-13

Its turtles all the way down... Well only one in this case but you get the point. I love stories about Ankh-Morpork, I love Terry Pratchett. they are great audiobooks and should be a part of any Audible library. The nice aspect of the Discworld books or the series is this, you don't have to read the book chronologically. It helps to be familiar with the cannon, but it is in no way necessary. So don't be dissuaded by the large number of volumes in the series. cherry pick, listen, and enjoy.

Waiting for the story to grab me...

Revisado: 03-16-13

What made the experience of listening to Chasing the Prophecy the most enjoyable?

I'm compulsive about story arch's, if I start a series I have to finish it at all costs. The problem is that I'm not entirely sure I like this series or if I'm just being silly. With that said any book that has a magical portal in the old Hippo enclosure of Hoogle Zoo... So the most enjoyable part of this book and the series is the olfactory memories of a putrid Hippo inclosure in Salt Lake.

What did you like best about this story?

The strong modern take on fantasy.

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

Not a huge fan of Bobb, I prefer more Mid-Atlantic if not British readers. My first pick would have been Stefan Rudnicki, if we were staying with an American.

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

Noooope.

Any additional comments?

Give it a chance, not the best book around but a strong showing.

Bravest author in the WORLD

Revisado: 03-07-13

Would you consider the audio edition of Ptolemy's Gate to be better than the print version?

No, but they are peers.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ptolemy's Gate?

Well, there are many. Just know this, Stroud is the bravest most honest writer of this age. He is kind and fair to his characters. I love his work more than just about any other.

Which scene was your favorite?

The hashashin assassins is a priceless bit of Barti art.

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

Both, time and again.

Any additional comments?

A must for any serious listener.

The Bible for Nerds

Revisado: 03-07-13

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

It depends, how nerdy are they, for example do they know what YYZ is? if so, yes. If they understand manna, sure. Do they have a favorite Kaiju, yep. If they love political drama, no.

What did you like best about this story?

How serious it takes itself, and how more irony it takes to take itself so seriously. A dork Tautology.

Which scene was your favorite?

The description of the hair removing shower.

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

Yep, I did.

Any additional comments?

Share and enjoy.

Tears of supernal joy.

Revisado: 03-07-13

If you could sum up The Golem's Eye in three words, what would they be?

Closer to perfection than most other books, ever. Simon Jones is the voice of my dreams. Jonathan Stroud is an unmitigated genius.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Barti, one of my favorites of all time, if not ever.

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

Everything. I would listen to Simon read the phone book.

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

I did, have, and will again.

Any additional comments?

Buy it!!!!

F-Bombs Ahoy!

Revisado: 03-07-13

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Sure, I love logic and the idea of religion as a tautology, but Dawkins doesn't need to curse to prove a point. I full understand that this is Penn's MO, I just feel that I could and would consider his arguments more fully, like those of Hitch's or Sam Harris's, is he learned to speak.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Nope Penn is funny and smart.

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

He love of the topic, years of experience, and passion.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No, who wants to watch Penn 30 feet tall? Isn't he big enough?
