Elite Sapphire

Concise (as could be) but full of details.

Revisado: 03-14-25

Authentic to other tellings of their tales, but with greater detail of their travels.
Excellent narration at a considtent-and appropriate-speed. Pure genius!

Reader got in the way of the story

Revisado: 02-24-25

Reader sounded annoyed or angry throughout the entire book. Pretty off-putting. I think I would have liked this book better if I'd read a hard copy.

I got bored. never happened before with this series

Revisado: 02-10-25

Unnecessary expanders to make book longer. Main characters are becoming less interesting. seems like the author needs to take a break.

Not the usual Drew Hayes

Revisado: 01-29-25

This one had the usual suspects as characters, but the story line got darker and darker. Not as much fun as his usual books.

was this just a weekend "what if" session?

Revisado: 11-17-24

story seems to be something Scalzi might have shuffled through while on a commute in DC. No more than a coffee and donut perusal.

lack of tempo change throughout despite story needing it.

Revisado: 11-15-24

Lack of any change in tempo, so the segments needing a quicker tempo to relay excitement didn't and ditto for the parts needing a bit of a slower tempo for emphasis.

attention to details in the series

Revisado: 07-27-24

How everything fit together, even though there was some contrivance. And vigor at age 100 was pushing reality.

A twist at the end

Revisado: 05-20-24

It was a bit darker than her other books, so that was not quite Jodi Taylor style.

There were times I thought about returning it.

Revisado: 03-10-24

I like Dean Koontz books, have read a few and listened to more. This one was not up to his standards. Was it written for a high school audience? One would hope adults thought through their decisions a bit more before acting on them.

The chosen reader for Amnity was awful. There was little indication that she even read her parts before recordings. If she did, t's pretty obvious from the strange phrasing of some sentences that she did not get the context of her dialog. Ditto for the "special agents" dialog. Husky bluster all the time was boring. A variation in speed or less dramatic delivery may have improved the book.

My final decision was to finish the book and not return it. I'm glad I did that, as the added segment was better than the 11 hours I'd spent listening to the main event.

Only problem was that it was so short!

Revisado: 03-10-24

I always look forward to Jodi Taylor's Christmas specials and this one did not disappoint. As always, the narrator was spot on (I don't know how she controls her voice so well. I'm laughing during half the book!) The story moved fairly quickly at times so I found myself having to do a rewind --or was that due to missing some dialog while trying to control giggling? Looking forward to more books in the past.
