Started as a bit of fun, but degenerates into crap
Revisado: 05-28-14
What disappointed you about Ghost?
is it supposed to be some sort of macho version of 50 shades? The military stuff was a bit of fun, a lot of bullshit, but fun.
It is more about the character's fascination with young women and bondage. it spoils it, I think.
Would you ever listen to anything by John Ringo again?
Yes, but only his space stuff. This series is crap.
How could the performance have been better?
Rewrite the book?
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I can get my credit back
Any additional comments?
This book is utter crap

As Earth's faster-than-light spaceship hung in the void between galaxies, Arcot, Wade, Morey and Fuller could see below them, like a vast shining horizon, the mass of stars that formed their own island universe. Morey worked a moment with his slide rule, then said, "We made good time." But suddenly, far off to their left and far to their right, they saw two shining ships paralleling their course....

Leo Graf was just your average highly efficient engineer: mind your own business, fix what's wrong, and move on to the next job. But all that changed on his assignment to the Cay Habitat, where a group of humanoids had been secretly, commercially bioengineered for working in free fall. Could he just stand there and allow the exploitation of hundreds of helpless children merely to enhance the bottom line of a heartless mega-corporation?

can't stand the narrator

Would you try another book from Lois McMaster Bujold and/or Grover Gardner?
An hour into it and I just can's stand the narrator. He sounds a bit like Troy McClure from the Simpsons.
What didn’t you like about Grover Gardner’s performance?
very poor

There are two sides to any quarrel... unless there are more. Queen Elizabeth of Manticore's first cousin and Honor Harrington's best friend Michelle Henke has just handed the "invincible" Solarian League Navy the most humiliating, one-sided defeat in its entire almost thousand-year history in defense of the people of the Star Empire's Talbott Quadrant. But the League is the most powerful star nation in the history of humanity. Its navy is going to be back – and this time with thousands of superdreadnoughts.

Revisado: 03-27-11
This is a pretty interesting book, but Ringo does seem to go on dragging the story out, if you get it for a discounted price its ok. Not as good as the Troy series of books of his.

Judith Lucy has been cracking jokes about her parents for years. But when a birth relative's casual comment implied that she despised them, Judith was shocked. Sure, she had been talking about Ann and Tony Lucy like they were one-dimensional Irish nutbags who'd ruined her life for years, but there was always more to them and her own feelings than that.So Judith decided it was time to write the full story of her parents and her childhood.

Intersting but its not a humor book
Revisado: 11-15-10
If you are expecting a sidesplitting tale then look for another book, this is Judith's story and it is a pretty sad tale punctuated by some classic Lucy humor. I enjoyed it, but by about halfway through I got the picture that she had a crappy upbringing and only listened to the rest because there were a few bits of comedy in there. If it were not narrated by Judith it would have been garbage, such is the content.

Good Story Bad Narration
Revisado: 11-15-10
This is a good story from Stephen King, but I am really struggling with the monotone and boring narration of Campbell Scott, in fact I would not buy and audio book he has narrated from now on. He spoils a good tale.
