Super Redundant

Revisado: 06-14-19

This has to be the most positive Apocalypse book ever written. Story lines like the walking dead are rife with Hobbesian human nature I.e. rape murder stealing, this book is the exact opposite. Because there’s no fear of anything happening to the characters it’s really boring. The same exact points of survival are replayed through out the whole book. This guy needed an editor. Badly. Great idea but just to boring. Super snooze fest

Insanely redundant

Revisado: 09-17-18

I’m not sure what format this book was originally written in but this writer loves to repeat facts that he is stated in numerous chapters to the point to where you wonder if it was meant to be written like a blog or a mini series in a magazine. To me this is A trait of bad writing and comes across as very annoying to the listener. The riders but trail of the main protagonist is a gross overstatement out of how much of a weakling he is. Overstating the fact that the main character is a wimp becomes redundant and obnoxious to the point to where you could care less what happens to the main character. I thought this one would be A fun quirky book to read but I was wrong. To me it was a waste of time and a credit. I feel like this book was written for tweens

Long set up but ultimately doesn’t pay off

Revisado: 07-03-18

I liked the overall story. It had a very interesting story set up with the different years and perspectives going on. It would make a great mini series for tv. I hated the shallow development of Iris. She was just a little to weak and stupid for a normal girl her age. She was written from more of the perspective as a teen rather then a woman in her 20s. I am hard to please but it was still a good book overall

We don’t know that’s the message in a nutshell

Revisado: 01-11-18

I’ll save you the trouble of reading the book. How did the Bronze Age fall? We don’t know. At least that’s what the book is about. Lots of conjecture and assumptions taken as fact. The book covers some good points of view how how it all went down. But there is a lot of holes in the narrative that are taken as fact which is kinda annoying. At the end they try to correlate the fall to the fall of Rome and our culture. The problem is no one know how Roman fell or at least they have a hundred different ideas of how that happened. A good read but the narrator is super annoying. Whenever he quotes a ancient verse he uses this weird kid voice that makes it sound a mad kid. Really takes away from the book.

Terrible audio quality

Revisado: 01-04-18

Not sure what happened to the quality of the Audio. It seems to skip like it scratched cd and is very distracting. To be honest I wanted to like this book but was more like a lecture from a father to a son on what it means to be a man. This guy is heavily opinionated about what it means to be a man. Which does contain some very good and valid points but for the context of our post modern world it comes down to being in a gang. I wonder if fear is the driving factor and theme of this guy’s overall life. Over all It’s interesting but full of flaws. Eat the meat and spit out the bones.

Transformative and insightful

Revisado: 11-02-17

You could easily take a basic college art history course from reading this book. The amount of historical data is astounding. The other gives you an amazing transformative view of what it was like to create art back in the 1500s. During the time I read this book I would have dreams of sculpting marble and making beautiful charcoal drawings. It fed the artist in me.

Lacking in conclusion

Revisado: 11-02-17

I loved the 1st and 2nd book; however, I was a bit put off with the ending to the third. The menace of “the others” was a little to deus ex machina. Also the Brazilian probe issue was just left up in the air. I was looking for a better finally but I’ll still take it. It wasn’t bad but just lacked in finishing the tension. Overall I loved this series and from what I understand it’s a Trilogy so there will be no more books for bob.
