off the reservation

Revisado: 03-07-17

I really liked the going home series which is why I decided to give this a try. the author has gone off the reservation in this book.

spoiler alert!
at the end of the book the story implies the DHS is burning people in ovens. really? REALLY? what a disappointment this book is... I expected better from a. american

this book is for children

Revisado: 01-21-17

book one was good. book 2 took a nosedive and book 3 is a disappointing pile of garbage. many references are poorly researched and the story is written like a remake of the Goonies.

less interesting than a ceiling fan owners manual

Revisado: 12-28-16

What a piece of garbage. I'm 12 hours into this pile and I can't take it anymore. Imagine the goonies grown up post apocalypse... yeah it's that bad. It seems all the survivors have halos over their heads as they skip and frolic around art museums stealing paintings... because that's what's important. whatever. It's poorly researched and very boring. don't waste your credit.

a great read

Revisado: 11-16-16

dont listen to the other reviewers who complained about the accents of the narrator being laid on thick, or about the pace of reading being slow, or that the characters were illiterate. this is a great read and of great historical relevance. I think the narrator did great with the accents and country people speak slow even today so pay those tenderfoot reviewers no mind.

stupid

Revisado: 07-24-15

the author needs to get someone to proof read. this book is full of wrong info.

there is no such thing as a suppressed revolver.
the winchester model 94 is not a bolt action 30-06
mechanical fuel pumps don't need batteries
there are no mil dots on an ACOG sight
ar15's max range is not 400 meters

Wonderful story but the narrator is horrible.

Revisado: 12-31-13

Would you listen to Judas Unchained again? Why?

I'll listen to it again, because the story is so good. The narrator should never read another audio book ever again though.

What didn’t you like about John Lee’s performance?

John Lee is an awful narrator. One of the worst I have EVER heard. The volume levels are all over the place - the audio is either too low to hear or in some parts it blows your ear drums. His voice is VERY boring and lacks emotion. The production quality of the recording is very bad also. At one point there was so much background noise I thought the narrator was doing dishes or something. John Lee sucks.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Dune meets Firefly

Any additional comments?

Please please please never let John Lee narrate anything...... EVER. He took such a fantastic book and made it mediocre. Shame on you John Lee. You read this book like its an obituary.

Verbal Diarrhea

Revisado: 06-10-11

I read this book about 15 years ago in high school, and did not enjoy it. I thought I'd give it another try now, to see if I'd view it in a different and wiser perspective. Given the rapidly expanding government of today along with the weak economic situation, I thought I would be able to draw some parallels from this book in relation to the modern world.
Having finished it, I feel thoroughly disappointed. While I grasp the ideas the author attempts to convey to the reader, I feel it is done in the poorest context ever. The story is so utterly mundane and boring that I found my mind drifting from the story to more interesting things - like my fingernails and shoe laces. The characters are so disconnected and the relationship between them and the reader so weak, that even at the end of the book I could not get myself to care about Winston (main character) enough to give a crap about whether he lived or died. The ideas and their implications in the book are deep but are presented so poorly that I would compare it to the reading of a dictionary, or a ceiling fan warranty manual, only less interesting. It did not take long for me to remember why I hated reading this in school.
For the life of me I cannot understand why this book is so highly regarded in the world of literature. Yes, it has ideas that could cause one to have complex thoughts on many levels, but I found that the actual reading of this book was so awfully boring that it totally negated anything positive that could be derived from this novel. The main character is subjected to a great deal of torture at the end of the book... and so is the reader - as I found that the only thing more painful than the torture was reading about it. George Orwell is no wordsmith and his style of writing stinks and flows like verbal diarrhea. It even leaves a bad aftertaste, as diarrhea should, preventing one from revisiting the ideas in the book due to the runny, turd-like substance that Orwell considers to be the storyline

total crap

Revisado: 01-04-11

Dear Mr. Robbins, please do the world a favor and never write another book.

This is the worst book I have ever read, and I am not hard to please. Ren and Stimpy seems profound compared to this book. I could not take anything seriously in this work of garbage. Crap story, disconnected characters and an abrupt ending - save your credits folks.
