Narration a bit stilted. I got used to it, but...

Revisado: 06-01-24

The story is fine as usual for a Doc Holiday book. But was hard to enjoy at first with how the narration is. The narration is a bit stilted and doesn't flow very well. I got used to it, but the first few chapters were a struggle.

"Anyways"

Revisado: 02-14-24

Anyways Anyways Anyways. Every character says "anyways" instead of "anyway" and it's like nails on a chalkboard every time. Yes, it's pedantic, The main character has at least slightly redeemed himself in this one. slightly.

Not terrible. Not great.

The main character is almost totally reprehensible, but that's the point I guess. I keep waiting for him to grow a conscience but he doesn't.

Bad voice for main character.

Revisado: 02-03-24

Not sure why the choice was made to make the main character sound like a cartoon villian, but it's bad. it is a shame because the rest of the narration is very good.

Audible version improved.

Podel is great as always. I'm not sure if I like this book as much as the first, plotwise, but the lack of constantly repeated readings of stats and spreadsheets made it a more enjoyable listen.

Having spreadsheets read to you repeatedly gets old.

Revisado: 01-08-24

The idea is entertaining. The characters not bad so far, but maybe this is a better book to read than to listen to. The narrator is fine, but this book involves repeated readings of apparently entire "spreadsheets" or "character
sheets" some of which take up one or two minutes of narration. And this happens over and over again usually to impart very little changed information. It's ridiculous. The format needed more effort to rework into audio than the director was willing to put in, in guess.

Good Book. One terrible narration choice.

Revisado: 11-28-22

The book is good. The narration is good - easily 4 stars... except... I give it 2... whoever is responsible for Parisa's lazy mumbling and whispering through her chapters in some ham fisted attempt to convey her sultriness has done this book a disservice. I don't recall it being quite so bad in the previous book. I don't know who directed that narrator to perform it that way but it really detracts from the overall presentation. In fact, this book and it's predecessor probably would have been better served.by a single narrator than a cast.

I like this series, I really do, but...

Revisado: 10-10-21

I like this series. I like the characters - the stories are generally fun and entertaining. But what the heck- did the author have to cut and paste the same explanatory text about the protagonist's car (and other things) in every book? The exact same paragraphs with the exact same words? There is other occasional pointless repetition in a couple of this series' scenes that grated too. But... Despite that. Still fun.

Meh.

Revisado: 05-26-21

I like the character of Chambers in this series, and while it's nice to see her taking the lead for an entire book, the book wasn't particularly good. My usual complaint about this series is how slow the overall arc is moving, usually relegated to little except the last chapter, where the players in the overall arc are revealed, and this book is not an exception. But more than that, this story was pretty much a rehash of an often used, tired out main story line about which I can not say more without spoilers.

Fantastic.

Revisado: 05-21-21

Another great sci-fi book by Andy Weir and another great narration by Ray Porter. Good characters and story, fairly probable science, some minor twists. Altogether entertaining.
