Up then down

Revisado: 05-24-18

I started out really liking this book. The plot was interesting and engaging. About two thirds through, however, the plot went downward like a runaway train. I understand that fiction requires some creative license but this story strayed so far from believability as to become distracting and eventually disappointing. Cannot recommend

Pretty good

Revisado: 08-06-16

To be honest I didn't expect much from this book. I've read a couple of the author's short ebooks and wasn't impressed. But this book is actually pretty good. I personally did not learn a ton from this book, but I've been working out for a number of years. But for someone who is relatively new; the recommendations are reasonable and the program should get you results. I like that it doesn't require a lot of time and sticks to the basics. Overall it was written fairly well and I liked the narration. Things I didn't like. He cites research but it's just a sampling of research. It would be relatively easy to find other research not supportive of his views. Second, I think his understanding of insulin and the role it plays is relatively simplistic given recent research. Third, he should have spent some time discussing t-levels in men; particularly middle age and above. The benefits of an intense program like this will be limited if t-levels are low. But I would recommend the book for people looking to start exercising or for those that have been disappointed in their results from exercise.

Fascinating!

Revisado: 04-08-16

I mistakingly thought this book was a non-fiction memoir when I purchased it. I like that genre because it provides many opportunities to learn new things. While a product of fiction, this novel still contained that aspect of education. The story was balanced and very compelling. Fantastic narration! I highly recommend.

Great beginning; disappointing end

Revisado: 04-01-16

I thought the first half to two-thirds of this book to be engrossing and I was inclined to root for the main character. By the end of the book, I was thoroughly exasperated by the incessant negativity and angst. The last few chapters were basically a non-coherent stream of various metaphysical nursing that I had a really hard time sitting through. This novel took itself so seriously it ran straight into the land of pretentiousness . I will not be recommending this book to others.

Passed the time

Revisado: 03-02-16

Literary brilliance this was not, but listening to it easily passed the time. Not a lot in the way of depth or character development, if those things are important to you. Narration was good, though not remarkable. Got this book in a $4.99 sale and definitely worth that price.

John Green delivers another novel full of heart, humor, and wisdom. As usual, I feel privileged to listen to his work..

Unique and Imaginative

Revisado: 08-05-15

I think this is a great novel, and the characters resonated with me. Narration was superb. I didn't give the story a full 5 stars because the author engaged in a writing habit I hate: namely, having the characters interrupt the flow of action to ramble long explanations for the purpose
of tying up loose ends. Seems like this author is talented enough to tie some things together in a less predictable and clunky way. Still, definitely recommended!
