Worse apocalyptic book ever!

Revisado: 11-14-23

it's quite obvious from the start that this guy has no real imagination and has no idea how to prep or survive a grid down situation. I doubt from reading this book he's even been in a blackout for more than 2 hours. But the whole subject of this book is based on the writers love for his political candidate and the entire story is nothing but one long boring political ad. I stopped listening just a couple hours in.

The 1 credit I spent on a 43 hr book, was a wasted

Revisado: 10-05-21

1st thing I noticed with the characters in this book really had no true feelings. Several lost family members and were able to get over it immediately. There's never any consistencies between the stories and the plots in one instance the creatures are overpowering and in the next being overpowered which is it. And Kraus narrates his own book given the worst voice overs for any characters you could possibly imagine. Then there were the parts where the story just trimbles on just to add filler to make it longer.. It was so boring that my mind would wander and I would lose whole sections of the story. I will never read another book by Kraus again.

Narrator is far to dramatic and just doesn't have the voice.
Main character is a prepper and has no idea what's going on around him. Terrorist at beginning of the book made out to be nice guys and sympathetic to the individual. Some of the characters thoughts and actions just would not happen in real life.

Far more than I expected

Revisado: 04-22-17

Honestly, I only bought this book because I was out of points, needed something to listen to and the price was cheap. I'm not interested in forensics or detective work but I'll listen to most anything on a long boring trip. However, this book blew me away. Rarely do I give perfect ratings on a book muchless take the time to do a review. The narrator displayed great emotion in her reading of the book and spoke clear and very well paced. The writer has obviously done his research not only into the subject but in his history as well. Through the writers words and clear details are given so that anyone can understand the science. You can witness the birth and growth of forensics and the people that have bought it about.

Not what I expected

Revisado: 03-13-15

I bought the book expecting stories on different types of alien life. it ended up being about microbe life and some possible alien life mixed in. I am not interested in microbe life however the book itself turned out to be quite entertaining. Even the reader made it enjoyable and I am glad I ended up buying and listening to the book.

Read to me like an adult.

I pushed through as much as I could on this book but had to stop. The writing and subject are outstanding However, Suzanne Toren reads it as if she's standing in front of a class of first graders. I'll buy the printed version.

Not a winner for me.

Revisado: 01-02-15

I am a Alissa fan. However, this is not his best work. Also the narrators voice bored me to the point of deleting the book before I was half through it.

Narrator

Revisado: 01-02-15

I enjoyed the story however, personally I will avoid future audios by this Narrator. There was never any real emotion in his voice. Worse was the long silenced and sudden pause between sentences causing several times for me to reach for my phone thinking the audio app had stopped working.

Insufferable

Revisado: 08-06-13

What disappointed you about Ultima Thule?

I could no longer torture myself and had to end the story half way through. At this point the character has yet to make it out of the office building. Not only do all the characters seem boring but the narrator, Jim Roberts, reads as if a bed time story to small children.

Would you be willing to try another one of Jim Roberts’s performances?

No.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No.

Wow!

Revisado: 05-13-11

I only do reviews if the book is extraordinarily good or really bad. This book was extraordinary great. The characters were well portrayed with lots of personality. Just when you think you know what's around the next bend, your jaw drops. The ending does not leave you having but does beg for a sequel.
