The Lottery and Nothing Else

Revisado: 04-02-24

This is 9 hours of the ramblings of a neurotic housewife and The Lottery. One of the narrators read so slowly, I put a book on 1.5x for the first time ever.

Just Had to Get Through It

Revisado: 03-15-22

I love the series, but this book wasn't good. It's a side quest for a bunch of peripheral characters and new comers. 20 hours of not much else.

OMG It's Like the Constitution but w/ Curse Word

Revisado: 11-22-21

If you are too lazy to read the Constitution, this could be for you. His analysis / opinions are that of a high school student in civics class. I find it interesting that he praises our forgotten founding father James Madison, but then never incorporates The Federalist Papers into any of his analysis / opinions.

Just OK

Revisado: 02-04-21

McMaster's writing is superb, but this story is too slow in many places and rushes through climax. 14 hours of floating down the river. 30 minutes, find the bad guys, collect a posse and defeat them.

Tedious

Revisado: 01-09-21

It pains me to say this, because I’m a huge Sanderson fan, but this book is boring. 55 hours of void light, life light, storm light theory and PTSD. It’s also Cosmere heavy. I’ve read or listened to every Cosmere book and novella multiple times. While listening to this book I spent a ton of time on the 17th Shard trying to remember all the tie in.

Wish It Was Longer

Revisado: 10-05-20

I really enjoyed the book, but wish it was more in depth. Maybe I just knew too little about modern art. I found myself stopping and research the artists, critics and patrons mentioned in the book.

Incomplete

Revisado: 09-23-20

I enjoy Meyer's sense of humor, so this books gets 3 stars for that. Two things bother me. First, they create a group of specialist to solve crimes using unorthodox methods, but then they solve the crime using plain old detective work. Second, this feels more like a pilot for a new cop / pi comedy than a stand alone novel. Since I'm writing a review 5 years after it's release, I'm assuming no sequel is forthcoming. Meyer's spends some time character building, but not enough time for me to care about any of them. Then the crime they solve is pretty pedestrian, no more interesting then an episode of Magnum P.I (or insert other more relevant tv show).

Not Credit Worthy

Revisado: 06-08-17

Any additional comments?

This is just a fun story. It’s a novella that was stretched to 10 hours. It doesn’t do anything to advance the series. I wish I used my credit on something else and waited for this to come on sale.

Good Story, Progressing Slowly

Revisado: 08-06-12

Any additional comments?

It is a good story. I just assumed that it was a trilogy (day 1, 2 & 3) when I started it. The only way this is a trilogy is if the next book’s plotlines move three times the speed of this book. I’m stuck in enough fantasy series that are going nowhere quickly; I didn’t want to start another one.

Worth the Discount Price

Revisado: 04-02-12

Any additional comments?

I got this book during a sale. It has some fun facts in it that I would have liked the author to expand on. I would not have purchased for the list price, nor would I waste a credit on it.
