The epic and highly anticipated conclusion to the listener-favorite series that had countless Audible listeners (and employees) hooked from the very first Bob - featuring, as always, a flawless performance from the inimitable Ray Porter. Being a sentient spaceship really should be more fun. But after spreading out through space for almost a century, Bob and his clones just can't stay out of trouble. They've created enough colonies so humanity shouldn't go extinct.

A fun end to an enjoyable trilogy

I was skeptical about the "Bobiverse series" at first, since the concept didn't appeal to me. I was so wrong though. It is a fun and creative series, with some action and a lot of humor. I purchased the author's latest on audible (not part of this series) as soon as I finished this one, and I'm looking forward to listening to it soon. The narrator is a perfect fit for the main character (and all the variations on that character). You won't go wrong with this one, especially if you're looking for a fun read that also some thoughtful sci-fi ideas.

While many of us are familiar with such famous words as, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here. . ." or "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust," we may not know that they originated with The Book of Common Prayer, which first appeared in 1549. Like the words of the King James Bible and Shakespeare, the language of this prayer book has saturated English culture and letters.

A fascinating history well-told
Revisado: 02-01-14
What made the experience of listening to The Book of Common Prayer the most enjoyable?
Alan Jacobs is clear, clever, and always interesting. He constantly finds the little detail or turn-of-phrase that makes the history come alive.
Did Robin Bloodworth do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
This is pure history, without real characterization. The narration was somewhat mechanical, but it wasn't terribly distracting. The narrator didn't improve the experience, but his performance is no reason to avoid this excellent book.
Any additional comments?
This is a relatively brief history. It's neither scholarly nor comprehensive. It is, however, great fun with some penetrating insights. I used it in a book club at a my church, and it was the perfect fit for that audience.
One note on the audible vs. print versions: In this book, as in his previous ones, Alan Jacobs uses endnotes for substantial and often very interesting side comments. There isn't a very good way to convey these audio form, so they were simply left out of the audiobook. I had the print copy as well, so I just read them after chapter. But you are missing a bit of great content with the audiobook.
