Word of warning

Revisado: 04-23-25

This is a young adult story set. It’s not bad for what it is but if teenage feelings and discoveries in a PG-13 context are not what you’re after (I definitely wasn’t expecting it), then you should probably look elsewhere.

Absurd

Revisado: 02-10-25

Without giving away much, the story starts fairly dynamic and logical, quickly degenerating into insane mix of ridiculously over the top action, anarchism, conspiracy theories, neuroscience and anything else you can think of. Neither subject is well-thought out and merely seems to be just a filler for time. The further it gets, less believable anything becomes and at times it almost feels as if someone narrated a comics book. I know it won some awards; I fail to recognize for what.

Not what I hoped it would be

Revisado: 12-19-24

Generally a fan of Howie, I enjoyed the preface more than the stories themselves. They’re fairly short and PG-13ish in a way that you feel like it was something written for middle schoolers. Also not a fan of author’s post-story commentary after each little piece - we are old enough where we can make our own determinations and often times the author’s reminiscing will kind of ruin the story for you.

Just couldn’t get into it

Revisado: 12-19-24

Made it to about a half point. The story seems to have a promise of something new and unusual but it’s droning on and on to the point where you don’t even remember what was the point of it all. Wanted to like it but just couldn’t get through it.

Absolutely amazing

Revisado: 10-25-24

The performer has taken what was inherently difficult text to process and turned it into an absolutely spectacular performance that sheds a new light to characters, places and the plot line. Highly recommend to all fond of the trilogy!

Not bad but clearly tired

Revisado: 04-12-24

This is still your typical excellent Winslow but it’s clear that the story has gone a bit too long in a tooth. Majority of the material are the throwbacks to the past events. Very little fresh new developments and those that make an appearance are cliche’d and predictable as it gets. Sugary sweet ending ruins the trilogy, in my opinion, but overall an entertaining enough listen where you can just turn it on and use it as a background and not miss much.

Strong start, lackluster finish

Revisado: 04-04-24

Not really a thriller, not exactly a fiction in a strict sense of the word. Starts interesting and dynamic, bogs down half way through and comes to a predictable and somewhat boring end. Not exactly a waste of time but would not something I’d buy in a paper form a re-read later.

Great story

Revisado: 03-10-24

Dynamic, well written, keeps you engaged and does not succumb to common stereotypes associated with describing rural folks. Never conferencing or overly protective of its characters. Great read.

Short and sweet

Great acting, dynamic plot, solid humor. This was better than most paid audiobooks, so a pleasant surprise.

Fantastic

Revisado: 05-14-23

Very Cormack McCarthy I’m a way it doesn’t pull any punches yet retains philosophical, almost meditative side to it that is often lost in modern day works of literature. A true treasure!
