Character Analysis

Revisado: 01-02-24

Chernow delves into the life and character of Alexander Hamilton in a way that provokes self reflection and admiration. The complexity of revolutionary figures leaves me with much to ponder.

Ruined by too much political focus

Revisado: 02-27-23

I've listened to the first book 3 times over the past several years and was extremely excited to listen to the second installment. Ray Porter does an amazing job, as usual, but a large portion of the book was weighed down by political discussion that really didn't further the storyline all that much. In fact, it held it back by a large degree.

I've LOVED all of Taylor's other books (Bobiverse, Roadkill, Singularity Trap) but this one was bogged down too much in the way of governance discussions instead of moving the story forward, in my opinion. I'll still read number 3 but was a little disappointed in Earthside. #RealWorldProblems, I know.

Good but not amazing.

Revisado: 12-23-22

Good but not amazing. Im an avid listener of many different genres with 800+ books in my account. This was good but not amazing. Would I recommend buying it? I mean, if you’ve nothing else to listen to it is definitely entertaining.

Amazing Book!

Revisado: 08-14-18

Well written with twists and turns that keep you guessing to the very end. Easily in my top 3 series alongside others by Jordan, Sanderson, Butcher, and Renshaw. Excellent novel!

Great Book. Solid Listen Performed Well

Revisado: 06-30-17

Any additional comments?

I don't normally leave audible reviews, however, after reading a 1 star negative review on this book (which I listened to not a month ago) I was startled. Some of my favorite authors are Sanderson, Jordan, Rothfuss, Renshaw, Butcher, Taylor, and Tufo to give you an idea of where I'm coming from. I've been an audible member since 2007 and have 400+ books in my library. This book is not my favorite book, but it was a good book. Worth the credit, in my opinion. It's slightly detailed but if you don't like that sort of thing, that's what 1.25x is for, but it by no means OVERLY detailed. Solid book.

Great Refreshing Book!

Revisado: 04-27-12

Do you have any additional comments?

Old Man's War by John Scalzi explores the issue of growing old and dying, but with a twist. Scalzi expores the question, "what if one didn't have to die when they got old?" Through a science fiction storyline, Scalzi follows a man through his journey into the ranks of the unknown and secretive colonal defense force where it is alleged that old people are given a second chance at life if they fight for the CDF. The author weaves sci/fi, humor, and action together to form a great story that is intriguing: keeping the reader wanting to know more and more.
I generally enjoy authors like Jim Butcher, Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordon, and Patrick Rothfuss. This book was an enjoyable listen and the narrator was top notch. Definitly worth the credit.

Dresden Truly is Dead if he's not James Marsters

Revisado: 07-25-11

John Glover is great, but the audiobook should be re-recorded with James. I will not buy the audio version UNTIL it is recored by James, as it should be.

What Happened?

Revisado: 06-03-11

As some of the other reviewers have said, the first two books in this trilogy were good. They were well written with developed plots. This book, however, dwells too much on culture clashes and way too much time is wasted on seemingly useless fluff. The story lines don't really reach any type of conclusion and you are left scratching your head thinking, "What? That's it?"

The author seems to have either rushed to get this book written or lost interest in the developing and writing a good conclusion to his story. Its a shame because the first two books were good.

36 Hours.

Revisado: 08-06-10

This book is very long. Not only is the book long but the narrator reads a little on the slow side so I am sure that it could have been shorter. This book is, as others have said, hard to review because while the story does not go as you would think or even like, it is still interesting. Since I find reviews most helpful when I know the reviewers taste in books, I will list some of my favorite authors and series; Wheel of time by Robert Jordon, Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, Codex Alera and Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. While I tend to stay in the fantasy genre, this post apocolyptic caught my attention however, it was dissapointing and depressing. If you don't like the first couple of chapters then you will not like the book. Remember; 36hours.

Great Read with a Great Narrator.

Revisado: 03-20-10

Before I read this book the only foreknowledge of the story that I had, shamefully, was the Disney movie story. I was happily surprised to see that it was NOT like the movie; it was better. The story is more believable and captivating. The characters, mainly Tarzan, are developed well and the plot is riveting.
