Fantastic story and narration

Felt that Davis perfectly captured the tone of Bradbury's story, great quick "read". His short stories always leave me thinking long afterward.

I loved her lyrical writing and was sad to hear it end. I look forward to more of Sharon's work!

Brilliantly written and narrated

I absolutely loved this short story and hope Scalzi will write more in this universe, even with these characters later. It has a great concept: for unknown reasons, murdered people awaken, unharmed and naked, in their beds after their untimely deaths. In this new world, in which war and crime have drastically declined or disappeared, Dispatchers must help regulate deaths and "reset" those who may otherwise die of natural causes (if someone's dying from an accidental fall, they reset the person by well, murdering them) or in the city's dark side, brutal fight clubs. So this idea provides the basis of the mysterious disappearance of a Dispatcher and what happens when death goes wrong.

I'm a huge Scalzi fan and his newest story doesn't disappoint!

sucker for nostalgia

loved being behind the scenes with the crew though I felt like some of it was stilted and repeated several times. nevertheless, as a fan, I overlooked this and just enjoyed the ride (and then had to watch the movie multiple times).

Perfect addition to the series

Revisado: 07-19-16

Mia Ellis is the perfect compliment to JD Horn's book; together they bring Jilo's story to vivid life. Jilo is my favorite character in the Witching Savannah series and it was wonderful to see her explored in depth, from Mother Wills' loving protection to Jilo coming into her own. First we follow May, her grandmother, and her relationship with magic and raising her granddaughters. A villain is introduced and we see him again in Jilo's life. (Not sharing more than that - spoilers, sweetie!) The second half is Jilo's story, her ambition to become a doctor, meeting Guy and the Taylors, and her powers.

Took off half a star: My only complaint is the villain's death is almost anticlimactic, but taken in context, it works.

While this is just a companion book, I would recommend this first and then the series. The Line and the source of the magic she and Mercy Taylor share may make more sense in how it's introduced in this book than in the series. This book could also be read alone, but I don't think you'll be able to resist reading the others.

This was awesome!

I've always said the "that narroratter could read anything". I found out I was right. I better screen shot that. it may be one of the few times I know I really am.

Exceptional!

TGR did a masterful job narrating this epic tale by Larry Correia. I loved TGR's performance of the Red Rising trilogy so I decided to give this series a shot. I'm so glad I did! The story follows the saga of Ashok, a Protector, who learns his life as he knows it is a lie. The story is well-developed, perfectly paced, and has great action sequences. I loved it and plan to try more of LC's work.

Brilliant

Revisado: 04-30-15

Well-written, fast paced, and interesting. Dick Hill and Connelly make a great team as Hill does a marvelous job bringing the book to life. He's one of the best narrators I've heard, and I listen to a least 5 books a month. He IS Bosch. I've been a Connelly fan for a while; now I must have all the Hill narrated books for my collection! Yes, this book was written 20+ years ago and the tech reflects that but Bosch is easily translated to modern times (see Amazon Prime for the show). It's a little predictable; still worth the read!

Tease!

Loved this latest entry in the Lunar Chronicles, even if it felt too short. Story flows seamlessly and is a good segue into the next novel Winter. Rebecca Soler continues to do a marvelous job as narrator. Can't wait for Winter!
