I'm not entirely sure who listens to porn as a serious endeavor. I picked it mostly as a joke and had fun along the way.

it's utterly ridiculous in the extreme but the writing as a whole is surprisingly solid. I have some issues with the ending. The main character comments that she won't be satisfied by her boyfriends size but after the whole book was about magic and conjuration of extra girth then there is no reason she couldn't just do it to him like she did the elf. Kind of a plot hole if you as me.

the AI reader was pretty solid as well with some comical intonation that really worked. Plus she sounded cute, which helps. All in all a fun little read and well worth the zero price tag.

The ghost was the best part and even she was boring. This was such a forgettable book. I can't believe all the 4 and 5 star reviews.

Picked this one because it was free and I needed to pass time at work but it ended up surprising me.

After a slightly slow beginning it picked up and kept up the pace. There were so many twists I never saw comming with all questions and plot threads tied up by the end.

This book should be made into a series.

So the first half is quite incredible especially since his claims were authenticated on some level when the CIA data dump became declassified.

While I'm not quite ready to throw my anchor in and believe everything he believes, I will submit that he has a very logical approach and provides countless verifiable sources and many logical arguments as to the existence of an alien cover up on the moon.

Once the alien on the moon bit is done though, that's where the book slows down and largely where the narration killed the momentum.

Apart from a lavish description of an attractive young woman in a supermarket, much of the second half is technical and hypothetical musings of Mr. Swan.

While these investigative musings are interesting, the truth is they would have been far more palatable with a more lively reading by someone with more than three notes to their voice.

Still an incredible book, Ingo Swan's "Penetration" is still excellent in every regard and is a fascinating read whether you believe in aliens or not.

As a boy I grew up with the mini series. It never particularly moved me and I was always bored.

A lifetime of video games and rock music later and I find myself pleasantly surprised and moved by the quality of the book.

Anne is lovely in her faults and eccentric joys, Mathew and Marilla are stern but kind and Rachel is significantly improved from the miniseries.

Avonlea is a beautiful, well written, enticing world that really makes me feel as though we've lost the better parts of ourselves in our effort to have more technology.

It's definitely on my list of places to visit if I could.

10/10 Would read again.

This book rivals Dune for utter retardation in storytelling and being unbearably boring. The ammount of times someone just says "oh no" and leaves the rest of the party hanging while a dangerous dinosaur creeps up got old. The amount of "the smell of rotting flesh" got old too.

The greatest sin of this book is it takes a majority of its run time to get anywhere interesting. All the poor writing from the first book is magnified three fold in this book.

The kids are unrealistic and irritating and the adults run around like chickens without heads. All except for Sarah, no not her, she's Crichton's perfect goddess of Feminist power that outperforms the men. She basically carries the plot, and Malcolm, as a human plot convenience. She has no personality, none of them do. Two dimensional flat breads the lot of them.

The villains are laughable and when Sarah referred to one of them as a beta male I had to stop and question why I was even reading this book. Morbid curiosity.

Speaking of morbid, there are some oddly grim points where Crichton details death in an overboard manner. Bones crunching, flesh tearing, blood gushing. He also talks alot about dinosaurs and men's crotches (weird).

Random issues I have with the book.

Poor Eddie gets done dirty when he is explained to have a rifle but doesn't use it, go figure.

The kids are magically hacking into corporate computer systems and watching distortion free SD security footage all over radio...its possible but unrealistic.

Everyone acts like geothermal powers is a miracle from God, I guess it wasn't as practical in the 90's?

Eddie puts exposed breakers on the bottom of a car.

No one has real guns after what happened in the first book.

Baby T-Rex has feathers...okay no.

Moving on.

The raptors are absolutely ridiculous. The visual Crichton paints is of tribal lizard people acting in a cartoonish way. They are basically cave men and there is nothing scary about them. The best scene in the book was when the Carnotaurs arrived and it was unfortunately short lived.

The oh so cool technology and lingo don't age at all and there are several places where the "amazing equipment" was eye rollingly stupid and unrealistic.

Most of the plot is predictable and their whole "they fed them sheep!" revelation wasn't so inspiring considering everyone in the U.S. already knows about CJD and its contemporaries or should anyway due to the mad cow scare of the early 2000's

In the end nothing really happens. We have to listen to a bunch of pseudo intellectuals argue about asinine topics instead of just some cool dinosaur action of which there is pitifully little. There's a few places where the author retcons the previous book and a few places where he just straight up contradicts himself. It's all mostly boring and then Crichton blatantly declares that photons and electrons are imaginary and don't exist and the book just sort of abruptly ends.

The odd out of place feminist undertones and anti-human "we are destroyers" talk gets old as it's obvious that any hope for the storytelling is being drowned under Crichton's political ego. It's called subtlety in writing buddy and clearly you don't have it.

I never thought I would end up saying the movies were better especially that second one but hot damn, they were better. Almost makes me want to go watch the churn of new movies they keep making.

It's a tad long toward the end.

basically a completely different story than the movie with what apparently became the other two movies.

the characters are mostly enjoyable with exception of three.

Lex is the most irritating 8 year old ever. Constantly switching between irrational fear, saucey indifference, and whining that she's hungry. Half of the near death events are her fault and had I been there I would have slapped her (Yes I would have slapped an 8 year old).

Dr. Malcolm was enjoyable in the beginning but at the end he just turned into a dramatic know it all. Constantly coughing and popping in and out of consciousness to tell them "I told you so" and to remind everyone he knew it would happen but somehow he's still there despite "knowing" how it would all end.

Mr. Hammond was just an absolute dick. An 80ish year old man yelling and calling names. Constantly dismissive and intentionally blind to issues. He somehow started a park full of super engineered monsters and was upset that Muldoon wanted weapons to protect the employees and potential customers. He then spends the rest of the book laying blame and throwing tantrums until the end where he just straight up decides it's literally everyone else's fault and screw them.

There's also an odd and useless scene where everyone decides to blame Gennaro for the whole park which was out of place as he had no idea just how far Hammond had gone. It spontaneously villainized Grant, Sattler, and Muldoon.

I also take issue with the utter doggedness of the T-Rex. It just randomly plays tag and chases them all over the island. There's even an unintentionally comical scene where It just stands at the bottom of a waterfall with it's mouth open to catch them when they fall. At that point I knew I was reading a comic strip.

There's odd undertones of "people are bad, capitalism is bad, blah blah blah" Mostly from the resident know it all Dr. I told you so, but it's also vaguely present in the written narration of the author. A subtle distaste for science and money and industry.

Otherwise I would love to see a mini series true to the book. Good book but odd.

I grew up listening to these books and I'm pleased to day that after a 15 year hiatus that they are still just as excellent as when I was a boy, still just as funny, no less compelling. These are a must for anyone of any age. Lynne Reid Banks is an artistic genius with her portrayal on the page and her performance in vocal talent. 10/10 Warm Happy Place.

Bill Nighy is a vast improvement in vocal talent.
The story is simpler which helped and Gala was so much more enjoyable than Solitaire, mixing a fine combination of feminine edge with practical capability. At least for a vintage spy story.

The end is a little sad but it fits well with the nature of the story.

Draxx was an effective, if obvious, villain.
