There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

Fascinating story and well performed.

I got this title with a free credit and I hesitated starting it for a while, but I was so glad once I did. The backstory only took the first chapter and the wild ride was off and running with chapter two. I found the book to be engrossing and almost all consuming. I was listening whenever I got free time. It was well thought out and an interesting take on AI and humanities future. I highly recommend this to any Science fiction fan. I'm looking forward to seeing how the story continues in the next books.

Enjoyable, but not as engaging.
Revisado: 12-01-20
I am a big fan of the first book and have listened to the Audible version many times. I was anxiously awaiting this novel and was not let down, but was also not as thrilled as I had hoped. The story was interesting after you get past the first two hours, which were pretty slow. The first book centered around video gaming in many ways and I was able to relate to much of the material. In this new novel the story has more to do with other aspects of 80s pop culture, which I was not as familiar. So that is probably why I wasn't as engaged in the story this time. But other readers may know more about those aspects of the 80s and find this story better than the last. So, your mileage may vary! This is a must read/listen if you loved the first book, because it picks up the story and gives some closure. Happy listening!

The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons and Dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive!

Probably my favorite Harry Potter book
Revisado: 11-25-20
This book has it all. Great story, great new characters, and it pulls you in to the magical universe of Harry Potter.
The narration is spot on as always and as soon as the book ends you'll be eagerly wanting to start the next book in the series. Enjoy!

Felt more like an epilogue to the first novel
Revisado: 11-25-20
I did enjoy this book. It answered a lot of the questions I had after the first novel ended. That said, it did feel more like an epilogue than a stand alone novel, ...in my opinion. The story line was good, and it was good to hear what happened to Paul, the Freman, and other characters. I'm on the fence about going to book 3, but I probably will...

When a storm strikes at Blackbrook Academy, an elite prep school nestled in the woods of Maine, a motley crew of students - including Beth “Peacock” Picach, Orchid McKee, Vaughn Green, Sam “Mustard” Maestor, Finn Plum, and Scarlet Mistry - are left stranded on campus with their headmaster. Hours later, his body is found in the conservatory and it’s very clear his death was no accident. With this group of students who are all hiding something, nothing is as it seems, and everyone has a motive for murder.

Entertaining book
Revisado: 11-25-20
I've always been a big fan of the movie, Clue. So when I was looking for my next Audible book I typed Clue into the search to see what would come up. I saw this title and that it was the first in a series of novels. I love series novels because you don't have to go through character introductions each time... And while it has nothing to do with the movie I was intrigued by the use of the same character names and wanted to see how the author put it all together. I found the story to be entertaining and the characters engaging. I wasn't particularly fond of the narrator at first, but I have to admit she did grow on me.
After completing the book I did get the second in the series, which picks up where the first left off. I'm interested to see how things develop. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an easy to listen to, and follow, murder mystery who done it novel.
