The Great Series Continues

Revisado: 03-04-25

Look, if you live Carl and Donut already, the series continues to excel. If you're new, you really need to start with book 1. If you're not a fan, we can't be friends... and Samantha is right to unalive your mother.

Mediocre

Revisado: 09-22-24

The great narrator is the only reason I stuck with it to the end.

The world isn't particularly interesting or new, but the foregoes and real character development or over arching plot in favor of focusing on exposition and world building.

The dialog is hit or miss with lines that are supposed to come off as witty landing as flat as a high schooler writing fan fiction for The West Wing.

Hard pass as an audiobook

Revisado: 07-05-22

Applying a principle of charity, maybe this book would be better in print. As an audibook though, the pace is way too slow and not enjoyable. I gave it five hours before giving up.

Very good for what it is

Revisado: 04-26-22

Just be aware that the novel is incomplete because it will leave you wanting more and not by design. It really a shame we'll never get to explore this world fully as I enjoyed the set up and the characters that were introduced.

Taylor and Porter Do It Again

Revisado: 04-08-22

A very entertaining story performed wonderfully. I anxiously await the next entry in the series.

Mediocrity Defined

Revisado: 03-25-22

It's not horrible, but it's also not good. It's the audio book equivalent of eating plain white bread that has started to go stale but remains edible if you're really hungry.

Skip the audiobook

Revisado: 02-08-22

The story seemed okay, but it was hard to listen to for any extended period of time because the reader apparently graduated from the Calculon school of (over)acting.

Even Ray Porter can't save this book

Revisado: 12-19-21

I downloaded this book for a road trip because I enjoyed Ray Porter's past work narrating the Bobiverse books as well as Project Hail Mary. Sadly, the source material is so poor that no narrator could save it, and Porter's talents go to waste.

The story is poorly paced with flat characters and an uninspired plot. The writing itself is choppy and amateurish more likely to priduce eye rolls than an emotional response.

Hard pass and thank you Audible for a generous refund policy.

Hard Pass

Revisado: 09-11-21

I rarely, if ever, request a refund from Audible, but the writing in the first hour of this book is so bad that I cannot in good conscience keep this title.

First Audible Book I ever sent back for a refund

Revisado: 05-10-19

Boring, deriviative world - seriously, you were inspired by some ants and fungus and not The Last of Us? Yeah, right

The narrator isn't great, granted he isn't working with much

20 hours in and I was still looking for a plot, eventually decided enough was enough and it was time to give it up and kick it to the curb. I've had plenty of Audible books over the years that were mediocre, but this is the first book that was so bad that I'm taking Audible up on their generous refund policy.
