Fun concept and story

Revisado: 01-17-25

Loved this! As others have pointed out, there is a Men in Black vibe, and there is room in the universe for more of that. I wish there was a sequel. I wish there was a whole series.

Satisfying conclusion

Revisado: 10-13-24

This was a very enjoyable series, and I'm a little sad that there won't be any more. Nell's journey ends in a most satisfying way.

Cats run the world!

Revisado: 05-05-24

I have listened to a lot of Scalzi and this is my favorite. It starts slow but once it takes off, I could barely turn it off. Loads of fun and lots of laughs. Highly recommended! Wil Wheaten is great as always.

Easy to listen to and very enjoyable. Good plot twists and I didn’t guess the murderers. Please make more!

Emotional rollercoaster

Revisado: 10-15-23

I love this series and its characters. I enjoy spending time at Coopers Chase. The main plot this time out is extremely intricate and I could not guess who the killer was before the reveal, for the best of reasons. Aside from the murders, two of the regular characters must decide how to face their mortality in this book. It was beautifully written, thought-provoking, and heart-wrenching, and I cried my way through those chapters. I appreciate the way the author is able to show how each character grows (at age 80-plus! hope for us all), and express alternative views through these characters. To me, this is the best kind of writing.

Impossible in audiobook format

Revisado: 09-30-23

First, I love the Cormoran Strike series. I have all of them in audiobook format, and I re-listen to them periodically. Troubled Blood was a little difficult to solve without access to the book's illustrations, but still very enjoyable. The Ink Black Heart is just hopeless without a printed copy of the text. Listening to the reading of "hashtag this, hashtag that" for a lengthy list of hashtags is tedious, but the deal-breaker is that there is no way for a listener to know which of the many of the chat sessions are taking place simultaneously. There is no way for a narrator to signal it, either. I was not confident the chats would be properly formatted in a Kindle edition, so I finally broke down and bought a print copy of the book. OMG, it makes such a difference! Certain relationships and event timelines in the story become instantly obvious. I went back and re-listened - nope, if I hadn't seen the print copy, I would not have known. If you want to listen, just assume that for any given moderator chat session, there is at least one other chat session taking place at the same time. This is not a spoiler because it is right there in the print version.

Classic mystery with a shocking twist

Revisado: 02-17-23

I first read this book some 40 years ago and was floored by the ending; never guessed the solution. It has been a real pleasure to listen to this version, which was beautifully narrated by Hugh Fraser. One of Christie’s very best.

WOW

Andy Serkis is the perfect narrator for LOTR. I have the older version and it is good, but this is beyond great.

George Guidall is the perfect narrator for this, like spending time with an old friend.

The new standard for an old favorite

Revisado: 02-19-21

Any Serkis's narration is just magnificent. Even if you have the older version, get this now and enjoy. Can Mr. Serkis be persuaded to narrate LOTR? Please??
