What happened?

Revisado: 08-25-24

Huge fan of the Arisen series. This one was hard to disappointing due to the bizarre amount of Israeli nationalist propaganda. And to be clear, I was excited that the book was set in Israel, but it was like being interrupted every five minutes for an AIPAC infomercial.

The one star was for the fact that parts of Chapter 27 are word-for-word copy from Max Brook’s World War Z. I am just astonished this was released.

Maria Bamford is a genius

This is a brilliant book in the best format. If you love Maria Bamford you will love this book. If you don’t love Marie Bamford listen to this book and you will.

Good voice acting and story. Too short.

Revisado: 05-08-23

Great job building relatable characters in a short story. The voice acting was phenomenal. Could have been longer.

Good, but not great

Revisado: 07-18-22

I’ve liked most of the full cast features so far, but this one fell a little short. It was essentially the character from Russia Doll, but in outer space, in the 1960’s. The jokes are amusingly but not terribly funny.

Brilliant book

Revisado: 04-17-21

This was a trill ride from start to finish. Stout’s gripping account the lives and times of Tiger Girl and the Candy Kid tells a story that was inexplicably lost to history. This work presents, in vivid detail, the characters, the era, and the atmosphere in a style that will be familiar to a fan of Erik Larson.

Like it’s main characters, this book is gritty and gaudy, smart and unflinching, deliberate and heart pounding, and absolutely fascinating. Worth a credit and my early favorite for book of the year.

Brilliant

Revisado: 06-06-20

This is Erik Larson, World War II, Winston Churchill, and Great Britain at their very best. Wonderful job by John Lee in narration.

Very impressed that this held up

Fuchs really demonstrates his range with this book. Homer and Sarah had not been my favorite characters of the series, but I downloaded the book anyway because the Fuchs/Bray combo has never let me down. This has the same elements as the others, just as good, doesn’t miss a beat.

One of those books

Revisado: 11-13-18

I’m have been a member for more years than I can remember and sometimes it feels like I have picked the back catalogue pretty well clean, but I don’t know how I missed this one.

First, great narration. Anyone with an account on audible for more than a year knows the difference that a top tier narrator makes, like R.C. Bray or Simon Vance. This guy is top notch.

Second, great plot, unique idea, did not see it coming. I’ll stop here to avoid giving it away.

Third, great characters. There are enough to give the story great depth, but few enough that you can keep them in your head. They are different enough that you are able to imagine the emotional dynamics of the story, but have enough in common that you don’t have to strain your imagination to understand why there are all in this same universe.

Credit well spent.

Blatant intolerance

Revisado: 09-27-18

I’m the last guy to call the pc police, but this book takes an disturbing twist into religious extremism when it starts to describe a hyper violent race of zealots with mullahs and khans that are described in very offensive terms. If you like your sci-fi with a healthy dose of religious bigotry, then this is your lucky day.

RC Bray is fantastic of course.
