Sorry but you can’t change narrators.

Revisado: 08-08-24

This narrator made it confusing who was talking. I much preferred the first narrator, especially his version of Aiden much better fit the character. Felt a lot like a tamed down version of The Expanse and I will read anything that series. The atmosphere/world building made reading it feel like a place I would want to be.

Interesting seeing it from a pow’s point of view

Not just a shootemup. Character development. Interpersonal story lines. Great for people who aren’t gun fetishists

Not really sure what I just read

Revisado: 07-29-24

It was just an endless stream of slightly entertaining listen. I got distracted easily. It was trying to be Bobiverse.

He’s my favorite author but he can put out some real stinkers.

Revisado: 07-22-24

This is on par with his robot dog book which was unreadable. Extremely tedious and you just don’t care after a few chapters. It would be a fight if you tried to take away my copies of the Children of Time series but this one is the equivalent of elevator music

Rarely does a series keep getting better and better!

Revisado: 03-26-23

I don’t know if this is the finale of the series but if it is, I can’t imagine a more original and delightful merging and conclusion of the two prior books while also holding its ground as a fantastic audiobook itself.

I'm a democrat and I loved this book!

What did you love best about A Higher Loyalty?

His honesty and decency.

Any additional comments?

MAGA: Made Another Great Author! I’m a die-hard liberal and I can say that I loved the book, especially the audible version expertly narrated by James Comey. He is a man of integrity and deep contemplation and a great author to boot. Write some more books!

One of those books that leaves you contemplative

Revisado: 07-27-16

If you could sum up Troika in three words, what would they be?

Not easily described

Who was your favorite character and why?

If you had read the book you would know how meaningless this question is.

Which character – as performed by Wayne June – was your favorite?

The artifact

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but you might need a few mental breaks unless you are very up on theoretical cosmology.

Any additional comments?

Totally out of this universe yet surprisingly feasible (in a billion years). This is one of those books that changes the way you think, if only just a little. The Russian narration is not very convincing but the book is not about the characters.

The audiobook adds so much

Revisado: 12-15-15

Where does The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I liked the book but I love the audiobook. I don't mean I like the book and I want to add emphasis. I mean I love the audiobook, the characters, the language, and accents, the families. I listen to it time and time again when I want to be back at the Davis's dinner table.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress?

The beginning where where Manny introduces himself and the ending which I won't discuss, Gaspadine.

What does Lloyd James bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The choice of a Russian as narrator adds at least 50 % to the book.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

"The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" - I don't mess with fantastic books.

Any additional comments?

Some of the beatnik speak was hard to understand but added color.

Brilliant, mind-blowing, and drink-spitting funny!

What made the experience of listening to The Hydrogen Sonata the most enjoyable?

Listening to all the silly names of the ships.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Hydrogen Sonata?

His discussion on the morality and futility of advanced simulations was extremely interesting as I work in the field of Computer Science. Very profound.

Which character – as performed by Peter Kenny – was your favorite?

The Mistake Not

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed out loud several times and even spit out my drink once.

Any additional comments?

Sad he's gone.

First book I've read where the movie was better.

Revisado: 01-28-13

Would you listen to Six Days of the Condor again? Why?

Nope, because I've seen the movie so many times.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, its a little slow. Had trouble keeping track of the names.

Any additional comments?

The love store isn't believable. I can see why they re-worked the book for the movie. Still a great read. Probably would have been better if I wasn't such a huge fan of the movie.
