Too many characters

Revisado: 12-12-23

This wasn’t nearly as good as her others. The plot was complex, and sometimes made little sense. The entire title premise wasn’t satisfactorily explained. I was disappointed in this one.

Too many flashbacks

Revisado: 11-12-23

I love this author but this book not so much. I was put off by the frequent flashbacks.

Where’s part two? This was an exciting tale but what happens next? Will there be a next or are we just left hanging?

A Misguided Homage To Jaws

Revisado: 05-23-23

I was excited for this book. As a student of sharks I eagerly devour everything I can find in the genre. This was a huge disappointment and looks like the author uploaded the novel JAWS to ChatGPT and this, with a few select edits and rewrites, it the final draft. This could have been an exciting book. Alas, it’s a boring ripoff.

It’s about God

Revisado: 08-20-21

This was a good book, at least the first third, then it digressed the continued importance of all things God. Lectures, more like sermons focused on the ‘almighty’ dominate the last half of this book, at least until the last 3 hours when I just couldn’t take it anymore. If you are Uber~religious you will love it. For those of us who are not it will be hard to bear. Too bad. I really wanted to love it.

It was a little wonky but still good

Revisado: 10-13-19

I enjoyed this book, but my degree isn’t in paleontology so at times I struggled with the technical and scientific jargon, which could be a little thick. As a result I tended to zone out during the ‘lectures’ and retrieving my more active mind when the conversation turned to something I could actually embrace. In my opinion the final chapter was the most embraceable in terms of understanding. Of course the earlier chapters did build upon it. In conclusion, I can recommend this book as it is scientifically predictive, and, at times frightening for just that reason.

Thought Provoking and Fascinating Historical Story

Revisado: 07-24-19

What a historic listen, and one I could hardly turn it off. As a student of that era I can say unequivocally, that the history is accurate, and the performance was stellar. I recommend this book.

It's About Killing Seals

Revisado: 07-24-19

I so wanted to love this book, but the relentless and in-depth descriptions of killing seals, and birds, was just too much. I would wager that more than half of the book is devoted to this task, and, as an animal lover, I was saddened by it, and even those who don't like animals, or are ambivalent, will be turned off by the author's storyline, which belies the title of the book. I cannot recommend it.

Extraordinary Book

Revisado: 07-24-19

I've nothing to say about this book, other than it's one of the best I've listened to for some time. As a student of that era, I can say, without reservation, that the history is flawless; the narration without challenge, and the story exceptional. I will likely listen to this marvelous book again and again. I recommend it most vigorously.

What a Tedious Listen

Revisado: 07-24-19

OK. I rarely stop listening to books until the book is actually finished, but this one belongs to the 'rarely.' The author was being chased by aliens from his days as a kid, and fast-forwarding to adulthood. It stretches the imagination to the point where it's almost comedic, particularly to alien sighting about 50, and I'm approximating as it seems the author is seeing aliens or their ships almost every day. What turned me off completely was the nonsense about the Air Force's OSI using some form of injected "truth serum" to extract information from Mr. Lovelace. As a former member of military intelligence I can say, without reservation, the military doesn't inject service members in order to gain intelligence. Oddly, I wanted to stop listening to this book about 20 minutes in, but I hung in there, waiting for something, anything to happen beyond the silliness expressed by the author as truth. That didn't happen and I finally turned it off, about 30 minutes from the end. I just couldn't take it anymore. This isn't non-fiction, it's BS, and, as a believer in life on other worlds, I was disappointed.
