mediocrity that isn't temporal.

Revisado: 05-16-16

It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good either. I feel like the story could have ended in the last book. This book barely added anything to the story. I found myself bored with the characters and bored with the plot. the first book was definitely the most interesting.

Fun little side quest

Revisado: 02-12-16

Really appreciate audible and the author offering this as a nice little bonus. it's a good 1 hour diversion with a fun story in a fun universe.

Downhill in multiple ways

Revisado: 05-01-15

Is there anything you would change about this book?

1. Take out the pointless sexual themes and content, they add nothing to the story.
2. Focus more on the main plot, this one feels awkwardly paced all the way through.
3. Write a YA novel that doesn't involve a silly love triangle (though like hunger games this one is tolerable at least)

Has Time's Edge turned you off from other books in this genre?

Perhaps a little

What about Kate Rudd’s performance did you like?

She is good. Great at distinguishing characters and a nice emotional tone. Most importantly, not annoying sounding.

Was Time's Edge worth the listening time?

Not entirely, pretty forgettable. I liked the first book though.

Any additional comments?

I will not let my children listen to/read this book. Too many sexual undertones for it's targeted age group. Maybe when they are in mid-end of high school. If the next book in the series doesn't wrap it up, I'm not going to bother buying anymore.

Cash Grab

Revisado: 05-01-15

What disappointed you about Time's Echo?

Ridiculously short, costs more than the second book in the series! Barely adds anything to overall story. Not for children.

What was most disappointing about Rysa Walker’s story?

This whole book could condensed into 1 chapter of the main story. This is a complete cash grab.

What three words best describe Nick Podehl’s voice?

Decent OK average

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Time's Echo?

All of them, and incorporated the last couple chapters into the main books.

Any additional comments?

This book and second in the series contain (unnecessary) sexual themes. I will not be allowing my kids to listen.

This whole series should been book 1

Revisado: 01-29-15

I liked the characters. I like card's writing. This series though should have been one book and felt like a cash grab. No doubt there will be three more drawn out books about the second formic war. this should have been book 1 of that series.

Good, but not as satisfying as I hoped

Revisado: 01-23-15

Would you try another book from Orson Scott Card and/or the narrators?

yes, and I have.

What did you like best about this story?

Love the universe and characters. Very intriguing.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

They are all top notch.

Do you think Visitors needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, but I would love another book set in the same universe about alternate versions of the characters. Or more of a prologue

Any additional comments?

This final book of the series feels a bit lost to me. I liked it, but it feels kind of thrown together quickly and less purposeful than the others. The ending didn't seem that planned. This probably my favorite series I've read by Card or anyone, I think my expectations were just ridiculously high because I love the other two books so much. It's well worth getting!

Cash Grab Series

Revisado: 11-11-13

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Maybe, if they don't care about their money

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The story is interesting, they just need to get on with it. The title made it too predictable.

Did the narrators do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Some yes, some no. None of them were terrible, but there a little sub-par to many of the other audiobooks I have.

Was The Fall of Five worth the listening time?

Yes, just not the money. The last two books should have been combined as one book as they are short and fluffy.

Any additional comments?

I like the story - but the books are way too short for full price. I think Pitacus Lores legacy is the ability to string along a concise series into as many books as they can get away with.

Rise of yet another book in the series

Revisado: 08-20-13

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Combine it with the previous book and next book so and condense them

If you’ve listened to books by Pittacus Lore before, how does this one compare?

Meh

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

The main character

Do you think The Rise of Nine needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes, and it does, several most likely because the series is a bit of a cash grab

Any additional comments?

Decent clean book (some mild exclatives at times), but really short and the series is looking like it's going to be a big cash grab.

Fun unique story with some clever moments

Revisado: 08-20-13

If you could sum up The Android's Dream in three words, what would they be?

Unique Clever Lewd

Would you be willing to try another book from John Scalzi? Why or why not?

I have, and they are hit and miss for me. When his characters are less lewd and foul and sexual I tend to like his stuff better.

What does Wil Wheaton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His great comedic timing and excellent reading abilities

Any additional comments?

If it bothers you, you should know that this book is quite lewd, contains plenty of foul language, and has some quite perverse parts (a number of references to sex with animals). I found quite distasteful. It has a very well thought out story and plot and was quite exciting and comical.
