Kind of interesting

Revisado: 08-14-13

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes, if they were interested in hearing about the German view of a typical soldier in WWII.

Would you be willing to try another book from William Lubbeck? Why or why not?

Probably not. He doesn't provide enough details for me.

Which character – as performed by Jonathan Cowley – was your favorite?

There was only one character--the guy who wrote the book.

Was At Leningrad's Gates worth the listening time?

Sort of. I listened till the end.

Any additional comments?

Not enough details. Too many "high level" observations. Like just saying "We fought Russia" instead of telling why and how.

Better than I thought!

If you could sum up Hard Tack and Coffee in three words, what would they be?

Really damn interesting.

What did you like best about this story?

The story told of many details about day to day life in the Union Army that I didn't know. Interesting stuff.

What does Jim Roberts bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

A decent tone of voice.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

It's not really a good book for a film, unless it was a documentary.

Any additional comments?

Super interesting.

It just never got started for me.

The story was predictable and plodded along.

Sort of. I'm not in the mood for a story that just goes on and on and on without a payout.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Tenth Chamber?

Most of the book.

Any additional comments?

Maybe someone will like it.

The Civil War According to a Regular Guy

Revisado: 05-30-13

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, because it's like listening to a guy you know tell a story. He talks about everyday stuff that you won't hear about in the history books. Like the time they had to destroy a big cache of food, and each took a slab of bacon and stuck it on their bayonet to carry with theme.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Co. Aytch?

Noting stood out, all good.

What three words best describe Pat Bottino’s performance?

Regular Nothing Special

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, just found it interesting.

Any additional comments?

Nope. Listen to it - pretty interesting.

It was OK, mostly like the others/

Revisado: 01-17-13

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It was time "OK" spent. The story line is no longer as fresh or novel as it used to be.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Most interesting was a certain concept about an island in Lake Michigan. Least interesting? Lots and lots of dialoge about the winter and summer "ladies".

Which scene was your favorite?

No favorite.

Could you see Cold Days being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

God no. It would be boring as hell.

Any additional comments?

The earlier books in the series were way better.

If you don't figure it out, it'll get you!

Revisado: 12-18-12

What did you love best about Phantoms?

It took a long time to figure out what the monster was, and how to try and defeat it. Koontz gave clues, but not obvious ones. Made the story more interesting.

What did you like best about this story?

The pace at which it developed.

Which scene was your favorite?

When the were talking to the monster via computer terminals.

If you could take any character from Phantoms out to dinner, who would it be and why?

I'd take the English guy who wrote the book (book title "The Ancient Enemy")

Any additional comments?

Good, solid Koontz book. You can't go wrong.

Good start, couldn't keep going

Revisado: 11-19-12

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

It would have been better for me if the story line was stronger. Off to a great start, then I lost interest.

What could Jeremy Bishop have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Keep the story line at a more active level. It doesn't work for me when it opens with a "bang" then peters out to mundane details.

Would you listen to another book narrated by R. C. Bray?

Yeah, his voice was OK.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Sorry I bought it. I was expecting more.

Any additional comments?

No.

Boring

Revisado: 11-05-12

What would have made The Twelve: A Novel better?

More action. Less character building.

Has The Twelve: A Novel turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, I still like end of the world stuff.

Did Scott Brick do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, the characters were all different, but that was most of the story. I couldn't finish it.

What character would you cut from The Twelve: A Novel?

Don't know.

Any additional comments?

Way to slow moving for me. Gave up about 1/3 of the way through.

Better than Expected

Revisado: 10-01-12

If you could sum up Pines in three words, what would they be?

Real surprise endiing

What was one of the most memorable moments of Pines?

You didn't even have a clue what was going on until pretty far in the story. It was fun to discover clues along with the main character.

What does Paul Michael Garcia bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Easir to listen than to read sometimes.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

What's really going on?
