Very boring story

Revisado: 07-23-23

The main character whined continuously. The monologue throughout the story was annoying. What little action there was seemed insignificant, pointless.

Disappointing narration

Revisado: 09-30-22

While the story was good, the narration was very difficult to listen to. At first, I thought that the narrator was actually a synthesized voice or AI, but a synthesized voice of any kind nowadays is not this bad. For the most part, the narrator was droning on with hardly any inflection in his voice, and the different characters basically sounded the same. Just as annoying was that the 30 or 40 times that the word ‘Enceladus’ was spoken, it was completely miss-pronounced! Were all the editors at audible.com on vacation? Additionally, there were several sentences repeated by the narrator. There were a few gaps of silence the end of some chapters, and in one chapter, an unknown amount of content was cut off mid-phrase before moving to the next chapter. .. Is there no quality control at Audible? Very disappointed.

Do I need more politics?

Revisado: 03-24-21

I finished the entire 1st book of the original Foundation Trilogy -- Sorry, Foundation fans. I found it extremely tedious. All talk and almost no action. Plus, I've got enough politics around me these days, I don't need to see it in a book that I want to enjoy. Not for me.... Narrator was great, though!

I wanted to like this...

Revisado: 09-04-19

I wanted to like this book, but it ended up wasting my time (and I even sped the audio up to 1.75)... I kept waiting for something to happen in the story, but NOTHING. Just a bit at the very end of the story. Too much character development... lots of baggage.

Hard to follow

Revisado: 01-15-17

Gave up after 3 hours and couldn't imagine going on for another 14 hours. Pace was too fast, particularly considering tons of jargon and even invented words.

Not Much Happening Here

Revisado: 11-19-16

The premise of this book was promising at first, but it became evident early in the book that it was becoming a tedious and slow story. The feel of the story, perhaps how it was read, was annoying to me. I was unable to keep track of all the alien names. Essentially, the story was slow-going. At the end, I was definitely not interested in going on to the second Book of this series.

Excellent Performance -- boring story

Revisado: 09-08-16

I have to admit that the performance was refreshing, realistic and enjoyable.... however, nothing happens in this story ... I felt like I was in a chick flick!

A Great Job - Very Convincing

Revisado: 05-27-16

I preface this by saying that I am a huge fan of the Alien franchise. I was surprised when this title showed up in my recommended list, and was a bit skeptical. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this production. It was true to the original Alien events and characters with great continuity and resolution. When I heard the voice of the actress who played Ripley, I was convinced it was Sigourney Weaver. I had to look at the credits to realize it wasn't! These folks did a fine job acting out their roles. Sound effects were great. I didn't know that Audible offered original dramas. Very, very pleased!

Tedious!

Revisado: 06-05-15

I like the story plot line, but as usual, this author goes way too much into character backgrounds making this a tedious and needlessly time-consuming book.

Non-stop terror with none of the usual baggage!

Revisado: 06-05-15

What I really liked about this book - aside from keeping me interested throughout - was that there was no boring baggage that several authors (like S. King) relentlessly provide to develop their characters, making their books quite boring. Additionally, the type of zombies we see in this story are refreshingly different.
