Very hard to understand

Revisado: 08-03-24

The story was interesting. The voices were well done but it was just too hard to understand exactly what was going on. The sound effects added nothing to the production were just confusing. Voice quality varied throughout.

Fantastic narration and descriptions

Revisado: 05-02-24

This book was beautifully written and the author and narrator made you feel like you were there. The story was interesting but had more than a healthy dose of Christian religion thrown in.

Good story and great narration

Revisado: 03-21-24

I found this book very interesting. It incorporated scraps of historical reference that I love. The main character ferreted out bits and pieces of the story from old newspapers, records and interviews. I will look for other books by these authors. They wove his personal and work life into the investigation. Well done! Oh, and Dennis Boutsikaris always does a wonderful job with narration!

One sided and ridiculous situation

Revisado: 03-21-24

Miss Henderson is a wildlife biologist and researcher and I would assume that she is very capable in that capacity. I appreciate her work to save wild life and the environment.
That said, she obviously has some rather prejudiced ideas about meat eaters and cattle ranchers. The situations in the book made no logical sense to me. And the main character made such stupid decisions, especially regarding her boyfriend that I just about didn’t make it through the book. And to make matters worse the author didn’t tie up loose ends, preferring to use them as incentive to read the next book the series. The narrator didn’t help matters any. She seemed to read the whole book in a panic. In the future I will avoid any novels read by Eva Kaminsky. And those written by Alice Henderson.

Won’t buy another Anne Hillerman novel

Revisado: 03-04-24

The story, as it unfolded wasn’t logical. Characters didn’t react as real people would, their reactions and reasoning was way over the top. And then there was the narration… lots of dialogue and voices are not her strong suit.

Intriguing. If you enjoy dystopias, fantasy, science fiction read this book!

Revisado: 02-22-24

Such interesting and unique ideas! And after each story the author explains her thought processes in the writing.

Too much female objectification.

Revisado: 12-24-23

Johnny Heller is a great narrator and Nick Pirog could be a great writer if he would bring down the sexist attitude just a notch or two. It ruined the books for me.

Yes! This one is great!

Revisado: 08-08-23

The book starts slow with a lot of technical gibberish and I had my doubts at first. And then...I fell into the story, never knowing where it is actually taking me- just like all Carey novels! He really knows how to develop a story. He builds a whole new "world" and somehow makes it all seem plausible. If you are into fantasy, or sci-fi then you will love it. But it goes so much deeper (as all his books seem to). As with the Koli books, he shows us relationships between "human" and AI. He also explores what it means to be a human. I couldn't help but think there is a lesson in there too, about sexual orientation (With the AI giving itself the pronoun of ET). I would love to participate in a discussion group on this book!
Oh! And the narration is wonderful! Dami Olukoya has such a rich, exotic voice and changes it just a bit for the different human species. I will look for more books that she reads, just for the joy of listening to that buttery smooth voice.

Nothing like "The last year of the War'.

Revisado: 08-08-23

The whole story depended on everyone withholding information for absolutely NO REASON. Absolutely ridiculous. The narrator's voice was much too "chipper" for the story, in my opinion. I barely made it through.
Not near the quality of writing as in her newer novel "The Last Year of the War".

Well written, well-documented, Amazing read.

Revisado: 07-02-23

I love historical fiction and this is such a well-told story! And the best part is that it is really well-researched. Well-chosen narrator. This one is well worth listening to! I will be looking for more by Susan Meissner!
