Difficult to start, but a real pleasure to finish.

Revisado: 08-19-20

When I first began listening, I found the writing too mature for my tastes, but it evolved quickly into an interesting story with lovable and dislikable characters and a clever plot.

Didn't expect to enjoy this title, but I did!

Revisado: 09-06-19

Reading the book Treasure Island didn't sound like an entertaining prospect at all for this 80's kid. However, after 38 years of dodging it, I took the chance and acquired it on Audible. Now I have the story in two other media because I enjoyed this performance so much that I simply had to pay respects to the author.

I didn't expect the depth of the characters written at the time when this story was published. There are instances of violence, betrayal and loyalty that are often attributed to the same characters. The line between protagonist and antagonist in this story is as grey and blurred as I have ever encountered in literature.

Excellent story, well casted!

Revisado: 06-15-19

This story would have made a far better film than the one that we were given. Lots of surprises are in store for new listeners who have been long time fans of the Alien franchise.

As entertaining as it was enlightening.

I could have listened to this audiobook in a single sitting. Victor is an inspiration and his story has given me the nudge I needed to let the music back into my head and my heart. Purchasing the physical book on Amazon this weekend!

I'm a Dog Man again after this.

Revisado: 07-21-18

I loved this. Not since Wayne Smith's "Thor" has anyone gotten dog's perspectives so well.

Inspirational

Revisado: 06-09-18

I absolutely enjoyed this story from beginning to end. Here is a man who lives up to his full potential. He graduated from one of the toughest military training programs of all time. He writes with humility and a soft heart when describing his peers and does not seem to look at his accomplishments as bragging rights, but merely as stepping stones to the next event life takes him to. If I could have been like any other man throughout my life, it'd probably be Jimmy Settle.

Superior to the last book.

Revisado: 04-28-18

This story flowed along a similar vein to that of the stories contained in The Callahan Chronicles. Not entirely SFW, but I enjoy Spider's writing equally at lower volumes.

I'm Sold On The Author's Theory!

Revisado: 04-15-18

All of the materials that I have seen of Sickert's creation (albeit having seen all of it after I began listening to this book) make Cornwell's theory ring hauntingly plausible. I amcompelled to wonder if this might have been well known to the people Sickert's circles during the years that followed the official canonized crimes. The ineptitude of a budding Metropolitan Police force might have been out of it's league with the initial case and had to deal with the solidarity of the legend having only 5 similar crimes in White Chapel to weigh against perhaps dozens more crimes in other locations would ultimately set identifying the killer or implicating a living Sickert an impossibility.

I seriously thought I was listening to NPR

Revisado: 12-24-17

The stories were fine to excellent. The last chapter (featuring Vern) was derivative of NPR. Like being trapped in an elevator playing Prairie Home Companion epsiodes on a loop until emergency services arrive and kill the power in an effort to rescue you with two-fold success. No disrespect intended as a lot of effort was clearly exhausted in the making of this program, but it feels so 'subsidized.'

A Beautiful and Tragic Story

Revisado: 12-10-17

It would be hard to take one's free will for granted after this well-written story. I enjoy stories that capture my imagination and touch me on emotional levels. The characters that matter will really grow on you. The antagonist elements will infuriate you. Law and Justice can be very different from one another. Bad seeds can suffer an ass-kicking. True evil is strong, but it too can be defeated. Hope and family are powerful weapons.
