Historia
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

Should have been called "Ready Number Two"
Revisado: 11-30-20
This book was just a chore to get through. I loved the original. It's a classic. This though was trying to re-create too much of the original and it fell flat on every single note. It read as a bad parody of the original and just got worse as it kept going. Ready Player Two is nothing more than a steaming pile of Number Two.

Historia
Mitch Rapp is used to winning. But in this follow-up to number-one New York Times best-selling The Survivor, the CIA operative finds himself chasing false leads from continent to continent in an effort to keep Pakistani nukes from falling into the hands of terrorists. Together with friend and colleague Scott Coleman, Rapp struggles to prevent the loss of these lethal weapons, particularly because Russia is also interested in the nukes, though not for the same reason as Rapp and Coleman.

A nice surprise
Revisado: 04-27-17
I never expected to hear another Mitch Rapp novel and as a fan of the originals I was obviously dubious that another writer was stepping in but Kyle Mills was utterly masterful in taking up the helm that if this was a blind taste test I'd have never known the difference. Kudos Kyle and I look forward to many more.

Historia
Bob Johansson didn't believe in an afterlife, so waking up after being killed in a car accident was a shock. To add to the surprise, he is now a sentient computer and the controlling intelligence for a Von Neumann probe. Bob and his copies have been spreading out from Earth for 40 years now, looking for habitable planets. But that's the only part of the plan that's still in one piece.

Variable audio doesn't distract too much
Revisado: 04-19-17
There are a LOT of areas in this book where the audio changes due to retakes. You'd think that wouldn't happen from an Audible studios title but it did. Still, amazing book! All Hail Bob!

Historia
There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

Just what I needed!
Revisado: 11-20-16
I got this book on a whim from the recommendations pane because I needed a few hours to kill while cleaning my house this morning. It's now 6pm and I just finished the whole thing.
This book is fresh and fun and FUNNY! Great concepts and great execution and I can't wait for book 2! Definitely one of my new favorite authors.
I haven't been this excited about a new author since Daniel Suarez came on the scene with Daemon.

Historia
When he’s awake, George Bailey is just an ordinary man. Five days a week he coaxes his old Hyundai to life, curses the Los Angeles traffic, and clocks in at his job as a handyman at the local college. But when he sleeps, George dreams of something more. George dreams of flying. He dreams of fighting monsters. He dreams of a man made of pure lightning, an armored robot, a giant in an army uniform, a beautiful woman who moves like a ninja.

Historia
It’s been two years since the world ended. Two years since the dead rose and the plague of ex-humanity decimated mankind. For most of that time, the superhero called St. George, formerly known to the world as the Mighty Dragon, has protected the people of Los Angeles at their film-studio-turned-fortress, The Mount. Together with his fellow heroes, he’s tried to give the survivors hope and something like a real life. But the swollen population of The Mount is becoming harder and harder to sustain....

Revisado: 07-21-15
Not usually a zombie guy but this series is a lot of fun. I just wish whoever edited it did a better job. Lots of duplications of lines near the end that were very distracting. But all in all a great follow up to Ex-Heroes!

Not a good trend
Revisado: 05-21-14
This is the second book this month that I've bought that has had podcast content tacked onto the end. This inflates the running time and makes you think you're getting more than you actually are. Any book that does this gets an immediate 1 star across the board. False advertising...

Historia
We are stuck, stymied, frustrated. But it needn't be this way. There is a formula for success that's been followed by the icons of history - from John D. Rockefeller to Amelia Earhart to Ulysses S. Grant to Steve Jobs - a formula that let them turn obstacles into opportunities. Faced with impossible situations, they found the astounding triumphs we all seek.

Great book I wish I had 25 years ago
Revisado: 05-08-14
This is an amazing book that sums up a lot of Stoicism with relatable stories and useful information. It's very akin to Robert Greene's books which makes sense since Ryan interned for him for a time. All of the stories are fantastic and the tips are all actionable and usable in everyday life while being entertaining to boot.
I generally hate author reads and this is not great but also not too bad. I listened at 1.25x which tightens up the performance without losing too much in the way of inflections.
A very annoying part of this audiobook though is that an hour and a half is an episode of the Tim Ferriss podcast that you can get on iTunes. That makes the book come in at roughly 4.5 hours if you don't want to listen to or have already heard that interview. I just wish that was in the description of the book.
