Powerful

Revisado: 10-13-17

I am a big fan of John Green, and you can tell he put a lot of himself in this piece. A few times Aza is begging John to stop writing and you can feel the struggle that he must undoubtedly have endured to keep writing.

There is a huge juxtoposition between John keeping the books relatable and realistic in many aspects, but also including segments and scenarios that just break from the world he has built.

This is a powerful call to keep fighting the good fight, but I feel it had a bit of hastily pulled together "conflict resolution" that need not have been there at all.

Well written, well performed, great story, great message, and it is sure to be one that I think about quite a bit.

my brother you are older than me,
Daniel

Great read

Revisado: 07-08-17

Easy to read when you set your mind to it. Larson makes a choice of structure that offsets the greatness of humans with the terror they can instill.

And whenever he goes off on a laundry list of food, you can just skip ahead a few minutes!

Rethink the way you act and react online. Worth every anecdotal story. Read by Ronjon ronjohnson.

Brings the worst parts of the movie center focus

Revisado: 02-06-16

The production makes it feel like a children's book. it isn't quite refined enough, and bits sound absurd to be read aloud.

the weakest parts of the movie become so clearly ridiculous when lingering during the audiobook.

Worth grabbing just to learn about Bast

Revisado: 02-01-15

Any additional comments?

Bought for Bast, read through several interesting stories. Good listen, but not really my style of writing. I don't think I found any new intriguing authors I hadn't read before, but I truly enjoyed the author I wanted to hear coming in.

Not a fan of the narration

Revisado: 02-01-15

Any additional comments?

I felt like the narration exacerbated some of the over the top dialogue. Reading the novels it is easy to lose yourself in the emotion of the events and understand the anger and desperation. Somehow, hearing it read aloud just makes it seem absurd and took me out of the story.

Are you the target audience?

Revisado: 02-16-14

Any additional comments?

As an adult, perhaps I am not exactly the target audience for this book, but that has not stopped me from enjoying any number of young adult fiction novels.

This book is great from the standpoint of entertainment, but I feel as though it may be lacking in some of the deeper thought and meaning that I have come to expect of such a high publicity piece. The characters can be one dimensional, and their development often leaving much to be desired.

I found myself speeding up the narration because the plot was more important than the words.

Excellent

Any additional comments?

Nothing more to say, if you want to know about particle physics, this will be an excellent place to start, or a wonderful refresher for those who have hear it all before. Well organized and well spoken. Absolutely wonderful for those long car rides.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful

Any additional comments?

Everything about this audio book, from the performance to the novel itself is absolutely worth the read. Nick Podehl is the perfect voice for such witty and dynamic writing. It will bring a smile to your face.

Baron, Baron, Baron or Roban?

Revisado: 07-10-13

Any additional comments?

The span of the characters attitudes, coupled with the productions choice to switch how the voices sound quite at random caused me to believe certain characters were multiple characters. It causes quite a disconnect with the story line which is probably why I did not enjoy this book as much as I should have. I found myself completing this novel never having been emotionally invested in a single character. For that matter, without even {\it liking} any of the characters. They all degenerate to whiny revenge driven, inconsiderate, murderous fools. I may have been slightly intrigued by the general direction of the novel, but without proper reasons investment I find this novel to be difficult to get through.

The strategy involved in overtaking power and the short one on one combat scenes are easily my favorite moments within this work, but they are far and few between many conversations overcoming tradition and hours of people in disbelief that someone can draw power from sources unseen. It becomes quite tiresome.
