Fun Story with a Great Narrator

This is a quick listen, but a complete story with a satisfying ending. The narrator is amazing.

YA that's still interesting for OA

Revisado: 09-06-24

I've long since graduated from a Young Adult to an Old Adult and I find that I've lost interest in the same old tropes of YA fiction. I picked up this one because I've liked other Drew Hayes books and a super dog sounded interesting. I was pleased to find that not only does it have the optimistic feeling I like in YA, but it does so while not treating the reader like they're dumb. There were intriguing glimpses into the world that kept me curious and excited to see what comes next.

Great Characters

Revisado: 08-28-20

I really liked this book even though politics and teen romance aren't my favorite. It has truly interesting characters that kept me invested in them through the entire story. The romance was a little painful at times, but mostly because of how well it captures what it's like to be in love when you're 17. The politics are extremely polarized (democrats are good and wholesome, republicans are evil racists), but, strangely, it didn't feel preachy. It felt like looking at things through the un-jaded eyes of a teenager. And there were good and bad things from characters on both sides.

At its heart, this is a story about family and friendship, and it left me feeling happy and warm inside.

Don't think too hard about motivations.

Revisado: 06-14-19

I liked the GameLit portions of the book and looked forward to seeing the advancement there. For the rest of it, as long you don't worry about WHY the characters are feeling or acting the way they do, then it's fine.

The narrator is really great.

I feel like I can take control of my habits

Revisado: 06-26-18

Beyond the thrill of learning something new, I feel like I've learned something important. It's more than the easy promise of a quick fix (which this book does not give); I feel like I now have real and powerful tools to take control of the habits in my life.

Good except for the Inevitable-Future stuff

Revisado: 06-23-18

The whole "I have to do this because a future version of me does it" just doesn't hold up. Otherwise, a really fun read.

A stellar performance by an amazing narrator

Revisado: 05-28-18

I'm sure I would have liked the Black Ocean series if I had found it on a bookstore shelf, but the performance by Mikael Naramore made me fall in love with it. For me, it didn't quite scratch that Firefly itch, but that's OK because, and I can't believe I'm saying this, I'd watch a Black Ocean TV series over Firefly any day of the week.

Phenomenal narrator

Revisado: 01-31-18

I was a little confused and frustrated that the middle four stories were not about good old Jeeves, but followed completely different characters. I think I would have liked those stories better if I'd known to expect them.

Like listening to lost episodes of the TV series

Revisado: 07-27-17

I don't know how much the TV series (which I love) colored my experience with the book, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
