The dangers of confirmation bias

Revisado: 04-08-25

I thought this was going to be a serious undertaking from the start. But my perception of this project began to change after awhile. Some of the things that Mrs. Weinberg was saying and doing felt like she was bent on a wild goose chase. I saw no acceptable reason to muddle this case with another case, as she does needlessly go on to do. And I admit to being pissed off by the distraction. And it was at this point that I felt this whole thing was going to prove to be a waste of my time. I still thought Mrs. Weinberg was a serious person, in spite of my misgivings. It wasn’t until the words “Right-wing media” fell out of her mouth that I then became convinced that this project had turned into a donkey show.And I no longer held Mrs. Weinberg as someone to be taken seriously. And I have no confidence in her judgement with respect to Frediani. I have never believed that this man, if innocent, would confess to sexually assaulting a woman, with both his parents and his sister bearing witness in the courtroom. I am more inclined to believe that this woman has become something like one of the Nightstalker’s groupies. Otherwise, why did she feel the need to tell us that she once had to wear go braless in a jumper that was too tight, while she was still nursing, when she visited Frediani? And that is relevant to these cases how exactly? I mean, she could have rescheduled her visit; after all, it is not as if Frediani was going to be having a busy schedule for the foreseeable future.

There are some good stories here, but

Revisado: 04-08-25

A narrator can make or break even a great story. And there are some stories in here that I think I would have enjoyed more if not for how they were narrated. He was only just a little better than Virtual Voice. I would even go so far as to say that were it not for VV’s occasional pronunciation errors, you might not always be able to tell the difference between it and this narrator. I delve into horror to escape “real life”. So I wasn’t really feeling the society/cultural stories relating to drug use. Don’t get me wrong, I thought the “Visitor” story was, how do these youngin’ say, “Gucci” (?). But the other two that come to mind lacked a monster/villain that I could identify.

Insufferable Main Character

Revisado: 01-29-25

I enjoyed the narration very much. And I had high hopes for this story because it started out so well. But I came to find Tony to be brutish and stupid. There is never really much that seems to be going on inside his head, and the things that do manage to make it out of his mouth are hardly worth heeding. He too often repeats questions, and his vocabulary is so diminutive that half the words in most of his sentences are just profanity. This title is way too long to endure such a dullard. The humor is on the level of being juvenile, and because of the profanity, I am reluctant to think that juveniles are the target audience. Or maybe they are. Now that I consider it, Tony does seem like an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, and slightly retarded 11-year-old boy.

Nothing special here

Revisado: 01-01-25

I wasn’t impressed with the dialog to begin with. The romance angle is friggin’ JANKY. I began hating this title soon after itit’s injection.. In chapter 24 it became obvious that this was a waste of time. I quit.

Quality is sacrificed for ‘Wokeness’

Revisado: 12-26-24

It seems that everybody is screwing everybody and anything bipedal. So here we have what should be a great sci-fi story turned into some b-movie trash. And the fact that it is meant to be woke adds to the suck. Actually there are chimpanzees in the story, but don’t worry nobody on the station got around to humping them.

another beta male, yay!

Revisado: 12-14-24

What did I dislike? Josh, the protagonist, is what I abhorred. I mean, you can just smell the white-dudes-for-Kamala-candy-a$$ on him. I had to skip over some parts of it just because I couldn’t stand listening to him. I mean even the narrators voice would change in pitch when ‘Joshie’ expressed his feelings of concern for someone. Surely it can be no coincidence that he has a legitimate problem with his nuts, such as they are.

Very unsatisfying

Revisado: 12-13-24

I cannot believe I put up with the constant obsession with food and drink, only to have this title end the way it does. The protagonists are the ones who are always ravenous, as they are always stuffing their faces what felt like every 5 minutes or so. This was like Food Network porn; it was so beyond ridiculous. The werewolves make only cameos and the conclusion positively sucked butt cheeks.

What if I’m not a ‘foodie’?

Revisado: 12-12-24

I have mostly enjoyed this series so far. I do however wish the werewolves were fed at least as often as the protagonists sit down to eat and drink. And for that matter, I wish the werewolves were given more of a starring role, instead of the occasional cameo appearance.

Why she’s here

Revisado: 12-05-24

I didn’t like Dani being on the ‘team” from the start. Other than being a ‘pin-up’ girl, I saw no real reason to have her involved. I even skipped through the early chapters to avoid her. Then the author made it clear. That he wrote her into this story for the express purpose of having her stripped naked and sexually assaulted, of that I have no doubt. And it didn’t take him long did it? That is the part that I find most degenerate and lowlife’d, that he brought her character over from the first book just so that he could do this to her. Whatever else he writes about her after this point doesn’t make amends for it.

Yo’ serpent ain’t big enough

Revisado: 11-06-24

The thing is only 40 ft long. That don’t hardly seem big enough to crush a lighthouse and crush sailboats.
