Historia
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Super fun
Revisado: 10-12-24
I thought this book was the best mix of science fiction fun. I laughed a lot and never got bored. The narrator is superb…one of my favorites. I looked for other books narrated by R.C.Bray after finishing The Martian and am so glad to have discovered this series. If you enjoyed The Martian…well, this is completely different but also very good.

Historia
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, is one of the most recognizable and mysterious figures in the Harry Potter series. As an unscrupulous beetle-like journalist once said, he's "a biographer's dream." Is he omniscient or limited? Is he benevolent or malevolent? What really drove him in the last years of an extraordinary life? Dumbledore dives between the lines of the Harry Potter books to create a portrait of the controversial Headmaster. We find Dumbledore's hand in every seeming coincidence and consider the impossible decisions he had to make.

Footnotes annoy
Revisado: 06-29-24
I love Harry Potter so of course I liked this book. I recommend to anybody to put up with mediocre narration and super annoying footnotes read about throughout the book. They are entirely distracting and nearly ruined the experience…for me, at least. Maybe they are required in this time of text or maybe it’s a choice by the author but having footnotes present at the bottom of the page on a book is a lot different than being forced to listen to them as they are read aloud character by character.

Patrick Hinds has failed. A lot. In fact, he’s kind of an expert at it—which is why he’s uniquely qualified to say that failure is a good thing.

This book was so heartfelt and funny. I finished this book in 2 days and now I am so sad that it’s over. I hope Patrick writes more books.

The galaxy is doomed. Monkeys may be clever and too stubborn to give up, but Skippy The Idiot Who Got Played knows the harsh truth: this is a fight he can’t win. The odds are not only stacked against him, he was designed not to win this fight. Maybe he can salvage some faint memory of the civilizations that inhabit the galaxy, but those beings are doomed. Doomed. Including the Merry Band of Pirates.

Historia
Disillusioned with corporate London life and with no previous experience as a long-distance cyclist, Anna decides to clamber atop a beautiful pink bicycle (named Boudica) and set out on an 11,000-mile journey on her own, through each and every state of the USA. Dodging floods, blizzards and electrical storms, she pedals side by side with mustangs of the Wild West, through towering redwood forests, past the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains and on to the volcanos of Hawaii.

So so bad...LOL
Revisado: 05-03-20
I think I got this book free for some reason. It is so bad! It’s a string of cliche and stereotype. Prepers good, everybody else...every single other person is dumb dumb dumb or evil, evil, evil. The world goes to crap in about 5 minutes and of course the government is evil and just wants to take all the guns. Ugh, it’s just so so bad!!! It was an easy listen, though and it made me laugh few times with its badness. The narrator does a great job. I looked ahead and can’t believe there are like 10 more of these books. Hilarious! Maybe I’ll come back and listen to another one later...but I doubt it.

Historia
Scott Jurek is one of the world's best known and most beloved ultrarunners. Renowned for his remarkable endurance and speed, accomplished on a vegan diet, he's finished first in nearly all of ultrarunning's elite events over the course of his career. But after two decades of racing, training, speaking, and touring, Jurek felt an urgent need to discover something new about himself. He embarked on a wholly unique challenge, one that would force him to grow as a person and as an athlete: breaking the speed record for the Appalachian Trail.

Historia
With courage, grace, and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of World War II and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women's war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France—a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

A really good book
Revisado: 02-17-18
I went into this book blind based on recommendation from my wife. I was immediately swept away in landscape and story. I found this to be a thoroughly satisfying albeit sometimes difficult and very frustrating story. It mixes good with bad brilliantly. I also loved the Alaskan backdrop.

I wanted to love this book but...
Revisado: 02-03-18
I’m not even sure why I did not love it. I thought it was okay but had a hard time getting through it. Things jumped around too much for me and explanations were lacking. Maybe I needed to pay closer attention or maybe this is better to read but I didn’t know who was who or what was what. I liked the Shadow character a lot and that kept me going but something was just off for me.
