Next Joe ledger adventure!

Revisado: 04-14-25

Another fun entry in the Joe ledger universe! (Note: this is supposedly an a new series, but it is effectively the start of a new Joe ledger series and you need to know all the characters from the formal Joe Ledger books 1-10 before you will enjoy this. So read or listen to those first!)

Sobering story

Revisado: 04-23-24

The book is excellent and while everyone likely knows that nuclear war would be catastrophic, the details and ways that things might go that are outlined in this well researched book are both fascinating and terrifying.

The only weakness in the audible version is the painfully bland narration

Another entertaining chapter in a beach, read level, sci-fi, story, starring our favorite murderbot.  if you enjoyed the previous books in the series, you will enjoy this one as well.

Should be listened to by all

Revisado: 02-15-23

Although a polemic, the content is fascinating, and challenges, the current model of compulsory schooling. Regardless of where you fall in terms of agreement the book is worth careful, listening and review

Everyone should give this a listen! The topic is critical, and both the analysis and writing are thoughtful and engaging

I wanted to like...but found it a confusing mess

Revisado: 09-11-20

I loved the Night Circus, so I was excited to tackle this book by the same author.

And while I enjoyed the lyrical writing (well performed) style again, and while the mysterious universe of the Starless Sea drew me in for the first half...the book fails to deliver on the promises of its premises. The characters are flat with odd story arcs. The universe and intricate world that at first appears so meticulously crafted...is never explained enough to be satisfying. And so the hope that the entire tangle (it's a story within a story within a story) collapses at the end, and my patient listening into the end left me with more disappointment than satisfaction. So many, many questions and so little coherence.

Great resource

Revisado: 08-06-18

I thought this was an excellent book.

It is well written and very informative. The book has a theme of providing constant reminders that the many of the challenges, behaviors, and experiences associated with breakup are *normal* while simultaneously providing concrete, practical exercises and guidance for moving forward. The book cites example after example of common problems and issues, and follows them with thoughtful advice and reasoning.

I found the whole work supportive, engaging, and practical.

As such, I think it is an excellent resource and highly recommended.

NOTE: I do strongly recommend some additional reading for those in this situation. And that is to read the books: Attached by Amir Levine (book or audiobook), Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by Gottman (book) and listening (only available on audio) to The Power Of Vulnerability by Brene Brown (yep, worst title EVER. See my review, then listen to it) and Your Brain on Love by Stan Tatkin. My reason for this is to develop an education on secure relationship behaviors which are key to successful relationships. The framework of these books makes it much easier to see and avoid the traps of future relationships so that hopefully, a repetition of any errors can be avoided. Now, if you read these or similar books before the divorce, you can discard. If you are not familiar with these books, they are must reads - but probably NOT in the immediate after-math. Instead, the phase of being willing to go out and venture into the world again is when you should give these a go
