Not up to the description

Revisado: 04-11-25

The description invokes George RR Martin and Joe Abercrombie. Not even close. Childish writing with some f bombs and poorly written sex scenes. Narration by the author was a mistake.

What a mess!

Revisado: 01-29-25

i should have noticed in the description of the book that is mentioned that there are four sensual and brilliant characters. You have this technical science fiction story peppered with this weird sexual innuendo. Incest was mentioned and the older character doesn't seem to mind if his son in law sleeps with his wife, it sounds like a bad pornhub set up. There is no graphic sex in it just innuendo to the point that it is tedious. Next, each character is referenced by at least 4 different names, except for Hilda, who has about ten different names.
They travel to different universes and wind up in Oz, yes, like Wizard of Oz. That's when I had enough. I could not finish the book, it just got silly.

Tedious

Revisado: 04-24-24

A real Elmore Leonard wanna be. He just doesn't have the talent. The author's attention to detail is lacking, things such as a stretch limo that has a 6 cylinder in it, 2 ex NFL lineman that weigh 575 lbs. shows that the author didn't do his homework. It also got boring and tedious due to its length.

Politically Correct Drivel

Revisado: 02-10-24

First the author tells us that racist are the antagonist in this story and that because it is in America he is not implying that Americans are racist. Until I heard this I did not realize that people from the UK thought we were racist. Next, all the racist are one dimensional really stupid a@@holes. Some really easy character development. The racist don't really say racist things, they refer to black people as "African Americans", but they say it sarcastically. He is not a brave writer, too afraid to write from a racist point of view. They do get to say the B word quite a bit. I will not be listening/reading McDonnell anymore.

Pretty Good

Good build up. Nothing special but worth a listen. Some of the other reviews said it was to gory, but I don't see it.

Silly

Revisado: 07-09-23

It was supposed to be funny but it wasn't. Young adult story with cursing. I was waiting for it to be over. Thought I would have learned a little more about Tesla.

Childish

Revisado: 02-20-22

Basically it was a R rated YA book. With the basic good vs. evil, the protagonists hits a few snags and triumphs in the end.

Ok, worth listening to.

Revisado: 12-08-21

Good adult themed story, kind of gritty and dark. Narrator was very good even though he is different from the first two books.
My complaint is that it got repetitious. He explains how powerful the Queen's men are, then he explains it again every time one of the Queen's men performs any action. Yes we get the same explanation over and over again, it get into the double digits. He also explains how conniving and dangerous Vogel is over and over. We get it the first five times.

All Around great book

Revisado: 11-10-21

Some of the phrases that the author put together are hilarious, yes I LOL for real. They are crude, so if you are easily offended this is not the book for you. It is also the first time that I have really enjoyed listening to an author read their own book, his performance was outstanding. Can't wait for the next installment.
