Aldne Now

Pretty funny until...

Revisado: 04-23-25

the long essay on her porn addiction. Not interesting or humorous, and the justification of normalizing porn is exhausting.

Just idiotic

Revisado: 11-03-24

The best thing about this book was that it was free. The worst is that it will waste your finite time. Plot too ridiculous to be at all gripping.

Two stars means it's okay

Revisado: 11-01-24

The story starts slowly and I found the short sentences repetitious in their choppiness, that's when I tried to return it. But I'd paid cash and found I couldn't, so decided to give it another go. The story then picked up, became interesting, and the short choppy sentences made sense in the context of the characters and the story. However, at its most interesting, the author made the decision to take the main character on a very detailed, but inexplicable trip down memory lane and when he returned to the present, the story took several bland turns which lacked credibility and then just ended.
The narration was good and the author uses language well, but overall, "it's okay" is an apt description.

Christian YA mystery meets Scooby-Doo

Revisado: 08-19-24

This "mystery" was on par with a Scooby-Doo cartoon. Nowhere did I read that this was geared to YA, and Christian YA at that. Long, long, LONG story, stayed with it hoping it'd get better/pick up. It did not. By the end, I did not care who did what. At least it was free.

Nothing to not like

Revisado: 06-04-24

This is an entertaining, well-written, smart, funny and delightfully narrated series. Makes me think an apocalypse might not be all bad. Oh, wait, no it would be bad. But this series is good.

It's okay to good

Revisado: 05-29-24

It is my opinion that this story collection was pretty okay. Not amazing, like so many of this other works, but okay to good.
He has such a way with words, I do always enjoy the way he puts a sentence together.

Her accent is charming

Revisado: 03-03-24

Pleasantly funny to start, becoming less so and then rather dull. Stopped listening when she went on and on about her social media postings and viewings. Who cares?

Manage Your Expectations

Revisado: 02-11-24

A lot of build up, so much build up, and then the twist, which would've been more interesting and even credible if it had included killer unicorns. I've listened to a couple of K.L. Slater's books now and she has relied on the same story structure, carefully writing scenes that are pivotal and descriptive, but without using any obvious identifying details, so the reader thinks one thing, but hey, then it's another. It worked once, but twice, nah.
Her writing is descriptive, and the narration was adequate.

It's Okay

Revisado: 10-29-23

Good to revisit the characters and get some more background on them. However, without giving too much away, the overall story has interpersonal elements that are both tedious and lacking in credibility. It is my opinion that some of the main characters seem to have undergone personality changes which make them less appealing. Hope the next book in the series is better than this one.

Kill Your Darlings

Revisado: 08-17-23

The editor spared the red pen on this one. It started out lively enough, but then slowed, becoming a lengthy, tedious memoir, repetitious and heavy on minutiae. In the last 15 minutes of the book, the author switched gears and interjected overtones of self-help, hoping her book had helped the listener with self-love issues.
