Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Fantastic even if you don’t read sci fi
Revisado: 05-02-24
I can’t say how much this book change my perspective on the genre. It was realistic and fantastical at the same time. The writing I superb and Weir’s way of storytelling keeps you engaged throughout. I was invested in the story and characters from the opening line.

The narrator could have been better
Revisado: 01-24-23
I love this book. Sometimes historical romances get repetitive, but this shakes it up. I would categorize this as a dark historical romance and I want to find more like this. Sadly I don’t know if there are a lot like this out there. Narrator is not good but it kinda blended into the background after a while.

Dramatization that is actually good
Revisado: 01-24-23
I really enjoyed this. Short and pleasantly horrifying. I have never been a fan of the genre but this was worth the listen.

I kept listening to see if it got better. It doesn’t. The book is dull and the narrator makes everyone sound old.

Historia
Hailed as one of the world’s masterpieces of psychological realism, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is the story of a worldly careerist, a high-court judge who has never given the inevitability of his death so much as a passing thought. But one day death announces itself to him, and to his shocked surprise he is brought face-to-face with his own mortality. How, Tolstoy asks, does an unreflective man confront his one and only moment of truth?

Death is over
Revisado: 08-22-22
Well I read it, now it’s over. I don’t know how you like or dislike this story. It is just a glimpse of death makes you look at it and acknowledge that you too will die. Maybe we are supposed to question what our right way to live is. I didn’t like the overwhelming sexism that seemed to be going on and I’m not even sensitive to that kind of thing but yeah mom and daughter get hit by the bus hard.

George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution is an intimate part of our contemporary culture, quoted so often that we tend to forget who wrote the original words! This must-read is also a must-listen!

Simple yet powerful
Revisado: 08-21-22
I mean what can you say but wow. It starts off slowly and builds into craziness. You see it coming but can’t stop it. It’s like watching a train wreck happen in slow motion. Much food for thought about politics, humanity, cruelty, manipulation… Observations of history and modern political landscape. Vidid memorable characters and fantastic narration!

I’m invested but confused
Revisado: 08-16-22
I live for this series but it’s a bit confusing. A lot of back and forth with emotions and intentions. It’s hard to keep track of all the plans and backstabbing. Like sometimes I have no idea what they are talking about or who that character was. Also a lot of monologues which is my main reason for a star deduction. I didn’t notice this so much in the other books so I’m hoping the next one tightens up the storyline. Still love Aria and Knox can’t wait for the next one!

I hate Tori. She’s the worst. Props to the author for getting a strong reaction out of me but I almost don’t want to read the series anymore. Ugh 😑

Not expecting a good story but delivered
Revisado: 06-24-22
I think this series hits its stride in the second book. The first book is a D grade sex novel with Vikings, the rest of the books actually build a good historical romance type novel. It has some steamy scenes but I think I like it more for the story. Not what I was expecting and it was a nice surprise. The narrator did an amazing job! 10 stars ⭐️
