Good story, seems a little out of place

Revisado: 01-11-24

I have read all of the Thrawn prequels and watched Asohka and the only problem I have with this story is that Thrawn seems out of character with the origin books and with the show. The voice the narrator uses isn’t the same as the Thrawn origin stories. The origin stories have Thrawn as quite possibly the most intelligent person in the galaxy next to Emperor. The later books have him as more evil and less calculating. Part of Thrawn’s appeal is that you feel like he actually feels like he has the galaxy’s best interest in mind rather than a conqueror. Good story overall though.

This book had little to no useful content. The narrator was the worst I’ve ever heard in an audiobook.

I liked it, didn't love it.

Revisado: 11-16-18

I wanted to love this book. I really did. The author did a good job of trying to hit several genres and talk about gear. Here's the things I liked:

-Good stories on the origins, Fender, Gibson, off brand guitars, gear in general. Some of the artists were really worthy of the extra time he spent on them.

Here's what made me dissappointed:

-A full hour talking about Bob Dylan. Come on man, sure he made waves when he switched to electric but arguably his best music was when he played acoustic folk.
-2 hours on Jimi Hendrix? I'll admit he is arguably the best guitarist of all time but he was really big on the scene for about 3-4 years. No one can deny his impact but the coverage was excessive.
-1 hour on Jack White and his junk guitars? Give me a break.
-1 hour on Steve Vai? A knock-off Eddie Van Halen
-One sentence mentions of BB King, Jerry Garcia (who was a huge gear-head when it came to his guitars), Duane Allman (whose only mention was that he bought a guitar on credit), Stevie Ray Vaughn, etc.??

I know the book could be 30 hours if he gave all of the worthy guitarist their due space. I just did not understand some of the picks and the immense amount of time the author spent on them. If your looking for a good history on the guitar then half of this book has a lot of the pertinent information. The other half is fan-boy fawning over the author's pet artist. Narrator was excellent by the way.

Great book and excellent reading

Excellent book. One of Stephen King’s scariest. Michael C Hall was a great choice for narrator.

Excellent Narration

The book was excellent and I particularly enjoyed Franco’s narration. One of my favorite King books.
