Crude and Hilarious

Revisado: 05-28-18

Beware! This is not for the feint of heart! This is a great short listen if you are a fan of dark and dirty humor. And I must say this is an original story. I have never read about alien dogs with giant wieners! I'd like to see what the author comes up with next!

Punished for free thought

Revisado: 05-27-18

Truly one of the sadder parts of recorded history. Socrates is persecuted for thinking differently than most, and helping others to do the same. If you are history buff or just someone who enjoys short listens, this is a good pick.

More enjoyable than reading it in High School!!

Revisado: 05-27-18

A beautifully told story about a harsh time in our history. I had to read this in school, like 20yrs ago!! and I could barely a thing about it. Listening to this reading was enjoyable and I was able to let the story sink in.

Good tips to get started

Revisado: 05-27-18

I like the way the author gets right to the point. Probably the best feature of this book is its not pitching a single diet or exercise routine. He focuses on helping you motivate yourself to do what is needed.

Short, Sweet, and to the Point

Revisado: 05-27-18

The narrator did a good job of keeping me engaged while discussing a rather dry subject. Blockchain is a major technology that is creeping into lots of different areas, not just crypto currency. This is a title I would recommend to my non technical friends who want to understand Blockchain better.

The hero we have needed for a long time!

Revisado: 05-14-18

There really isn't any other way to describe him. Garren is an a$$hole! But so are so many of my favorite characters. A young genius surrounded by dunces trying to get by in life while keeping himself amused at the same time. The author does a fantastic job of building out a world that is at the same time reminiscent of the past and a view of a grim future. The only negative I could give this book belongs with the narration. While the main story is narrated just fine, his mastery of voices leaves a bit to be desired. They are mostly high pitched and somewhat drawn out. Not so bad as to ruin the whole experience for me, and I am sure with a bit more practice under his belt he could get much better.

I don't like to read giant reviews, so I keep mine short as well! I liked this book enough that I will be buying the rest of the series. I need to see what kind of crap Garren gets into next!

They left out an important part in the description

Revisado: 04-02-18

The author's writing style and characters are fleshed out well. However, I don't pick a post-apocalyptic saga to have the bible quoted to me every couple minutes. I had to stop. If you are highly religious and into end of the world bible stuff, this is the book for you. Best i could say is that it is not for me.

An Outrageously Funny Story!

Revisado: 12-13-17

When I read the paperback of this novel many years ago it easily became one of the greatest stories I had ever read! Somehow, Toole managed to create a character that was both antagonist and protagonist at the same time! Ignacious Riley is a true genius that like many I have known, has absolutely no idea how to interact with the rest of the world. His poor mother, who is also the legitimate cause of many of the problems, is as deeply developed a character as Riley.
I have probably listened to this audiobook over a dozen times. This is not only due to the great story, but the amazing narrator. His ability to capture the accents and nuances of each character is second to none. Narrators are as important to me as the story could ever be, and Barrett Whitener deserves the highest of praise in this respect.
I tend to keep my reviews short and to the point so I will end on this note. If you have never read this book, or heard of this author, your life is incomplete. Please take the time for this one and recommend it to your friends and family. This is an amazing piece of fiction that belongs in everyone's library.

A sad but wonderful story

Revisado: 12-13-17

The author was able to pack a whole lifetime of love and loss in a 45 minute story. That is, in my opinion, a masterful skill. Watching the short journey across the country with the woman who raised him, and watching as her mind breaks down stirred up a lot of emotion in me. I don't want to give anything away, but the story takes an unexpected turn and ends on a high note! I would definitely say this is worth 45 mins of your day!

I have waited my whole life for this book!

Revisado: 12-06-17

As a Star Wars fan, I have always thought that you could have stories following a number of people. This book is a great leap into my childhood wish! Following my favorite movie through a different set of eyes is fascinating. I'm not gonna lie, I always wondered why they didn't shoot that escape pod!
Its Star Wars in a brand new way, which is both exciting and refreshing. The different narrators and authors did this story justice. The force is with this book!

I received this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review.
