This book was wonderful. The author's style really takes you there, hunting in 1960s Kentucky. I have found many good hunting books on audible and this is one of my favorites. Ray Childs is also one of my favorite narrators. If you enjoyed his narration, check out his other narrated hunting book by Gene Hill.

Great post-apocalyptic book without the propaganda

Revisado: 02-11-16

Great book with lots of action. And best of all, it wasn't loaded with all the paranoid, political nonsense some of the books are plagued with. It was just plain enjoyable and I can't wait for the next book in the series!

If Glenn Beck wrote a post-apocalyptic novel...

Revisado: 08-06-15

... this would probably be it!

First, the narration was AMAZING. The narrator, Kevin Pierce, was a perfect pick for this book. I'm going to intentionally seek out books he narrates; he's that good!

As for the story: Initially I was very caught up in the story and wanted to listen to the book every chance I got. One of the other reviewers already hit on the stereotyping when they commented on the overall weakness of the female characters and the negative portrayal of the poor, and I agree with that assessment. At one point in the story two young hikers are introduced into the plot and a peri-apocalyptic debate on guns ensues followed by their concerns of using ATVs in a restricted area. Huh? Really? These "offended liberals" (the author's words) exist in the plot to only make obviously-bad decisions and generally do everything wrong. I won't spoil it, but you can probably guess what happens to them.

The book just goes off the rails here. I was hoping for a new, exciting post-apocalyptic series; and what I got was more of a propaganda piece. This is too bad, because there really was some enormous potential here by someone who does clearly have a gift at writing.

It worked!

Would you listen to The Fast Track to Your Technician Class Ham Radio License again? Why?

Superbly well done! I finished the book in a week during my commutes and passed the test with no problem! Never even opened the official textbook.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The radio. Duh!

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I don't know anyone that would enjoy this.

Has Alien Interview: Reader's Edition turned you off from other books in this genre?

No.

Would you be willing to try another one of Lyanne Greystoke’s performances?

Sure.

What character would you cut from Alien Interview: Reader's Edition?

N/A

Any additional comments?

This book started off strong and really grabbed my interest. But later, it just devolved into a giant mess of nonsense: Space stations in the asteroid belt, space battles, humans being taken over by aliens, mind control, force fields, etc. etc.

And one of the other reviewers already commented on the poor production quality. It is bad, bad, bad. The volume is not consistent throughout the book and there are numerous times when sentences are being read over one another.

I would pass on this one.

Too simplistic.

Revisado: 08-23-06

As many of the other reviews state, it is a "common sense" approach to managing your money. So the recommendations he offers includes: don't buy cars at "buy here / pay here" car lots, don't ever do "rent to own" programs, avoid leasing cars, etc. His recommendations are TOO "common sense." So I was pretty disappointed. I was hoping more for strategies that I could use to improve my financial status. None of his recommendations applied to me. Also, I did not appreciate how he talked down to the listener. Seriously, he speaks to the listner like they are a spoiled little child. In sum, if you are like me and you don't fall for the "buy here/pay here" and "rent to own" scams, then you should look for another book on finance.

Should have been better focused.

Revisado: 04-25-06

I'm a physician and I have always been interested in reading about the 1918 influenza pandemic. As one of the other reviewers stated, only a portion of this book is actually about the outbreak. This author should have spent more time focusing on the pandemic and less time reviewing the entire history of medicine. Also, it annoyed me how the author attempted to sensationalize this subject by his endless use of graphic similies. So this book gets 3/5 stars because it is just "average."

Recommended!

I highly recommend this book for anyone new to the field of astronomy. This book helped me fill in the gaps that I have in my knowledge of astronomy and cosmology. I will probably listen to this one many times over!
