Wonderful advice, Very thoughtful

Revisado: 06-30-22

I really appreciate Peterson's perspective on the topics in this book, though I imagine it may be a bit frank or even brutal for some people to hear. If you want to live a life with open and honest eyes, however, you can't mask your experiences with any sort of passive or enabling narrative. This book will help you understand why seriously considering not only the likely results of your behavior but the full potential of them is vastly important. Some parts get a little muddy and perhaps not as eloquent as others, but continuing to listen closely is an opportunity to practice one of the rules discussed.

Captivating Writing, but Poor Execution

Revisado: 06-11-22

This story was very interesting and I really enjoyed the writing style and narration, but I feel like the story got sluggish in a few places and interrupted the pace. There's also some aspects / details regarding the overall theme or explanation that got me hung up and will also be the reason I don't listen again. Nonetheless, it's nice to see new, quality monster / creature feature novels coming out so if that's your thing then you'll probably enjoy.

Enjoyable & Refreshing

Revisado: 05-27-22

I wouldn't put this in the "thriller" category necessarily, but Transmission is definitely an interesting story with some callbacks to classic scifi. I find this nod to the greats, and really the genre as a whole, tasteful and refreshing given the various modern trends out there. Some of the story is predictable and sometimes oddly repetitive, but it definitely captured my imagination and even had me choosing to sit on the sofa listening with my dogs rather than playing Xbox or watching a stream service. Definitely recommend.

Anecdotal, but very informative

Revisado: 05-19-22

Would definitely recommend for any new parents. I see a lot of neurotic parents these days (cough, mostly mothers, cough) who tend to get lost in their own feelings or thoughts regarding their children and what they need to become healthy adults. My parents were honestly pretty simple, much like the advice in this book, and out of six kids I'd say half of us turned quite exceptional. Yes, parenting might be scary, but it's not rocket science.

Wonderful characters and gripping storyline

Revisado: 05-02-22

I love any sort of monster stories, but they're often cheesy or tropy. Not Impact Winter. The characters are wonderfully fleshed out from the beginning (probably has a lot to do with the wonderful voice acting) and the story is intriguing all the way through. There's also some interesting takes on the vampire "lore" that I thought was a good touch. Can't wait to listen to the next installment!

Pretty cool, just maybe a bit bogged down

Revisado: 04-30-22

While this is a very interesting story and I'm very excited to read the second book, it took me a little while to get into. Maybe I wasn't listening close enough, but I feel like some moments didn't surprise or intrigue me as much as they were supposed to. That being said, this book has very good characters and the audiobook is narrated very well. Like I said, I'm excited for the second book!

Entertaining & interesting, but pretty concise

Revisado: 02-21-22

Was a fun listen overall, but I feel there was a lot of head room that could've been explored with this storyline. I will say that the narration, especially with some of the sound effects added (ex. tinny voice on a telephone) was very well done. I wish more audiobooks implemented this.

Absolutely wonderful, An instant classic

Revisado: 02-09-22

The characters, the adventure, the science, and the humanity: Everything in this story is completely enjoyable. There's also a kind of heart in this book that I don't see often but greatly admire and, to be honest, it's refreshing for my perspective on humanity. In terms of the audiobook format, the narration is very enjoyable as well. If you're not sciencey at all, this may not be a great choice. But if you don't mind missing a few references or concepts here and there and just want to enjoy the adventure and characters, then this is a safe bet. Overall, this is one I'm looking forward to re-listening to and gifting my kids one day.

Great SciFi & lots of fun!

Revisado: 01-13-22

Faster than light travel, sentient robots, superpowers, the fabric of reality, and good ol' fashion fist fights: What else could you want? Will this fiction go down as an all-time classic? Probably not. But is it entertaining and worth the listen? I'd say definitely!

Great listen! Gets you thinking, too

Revisado: 12-18-21

Really liked this one. A bit brutal in some parts with interrogation scenes, but the way it all unfolds and the general story telling style is something I really enjoyed. Only thing is maybe the ending, felt like there could have but a bit more exploration, but with this subject matter the possibilities are literally endless so I understand.
