Excellent!

Revisado: 11-09-24

Charming, witty story about surviving and seeking love in this modern era. The dialogue is snappy and the social commentary is subtle and biting.

Wow!

Revisado: 08-18-24

This was an excellent series! A Los Angeles-based mystery noir for the modern age. The writing, acting and sound production were all superb. I tore through all the episodes much too quickly and was so disappointed to reach the end. The various storylines resolved in smart and gratifying ways. Bravo! I hope there might be a second season.

Very well done!

Revisado: 08-04-24

The twists were just plausible enough to keep me listening. All the episodes had top rate sound production and suberb voice acting.

So much potential!

Revisado: 08-04-24

The first several episodes held me rapt. A series based in a futuristic, dystopic, cyber-noir setting! What's not to love? A smart, geopolitical premise wherein expansionist China moves in on Japan. Wow!

Unfortunately, the episodes began to meander pointlessly from the primary story arc. Also, the "romance" felt annoying and irrelevant.

I my opinion, this would be perfect if it were trimmed down and shaped into a novel. Or into a tighter audio serial.

Excellent voice acting throughout.

Absurd

Revisado: 08-04-24

This was listenable for the most part, but the storyline was forced through utterly implausible twists. The narration was great, however.

Intelligent storyline, brilliant acting, excellent sound production. Now I'm planning on to listening to Derelict, hopefully it holds up.

Mad Libs in Plot Direction

Revisado: 11-26-23

Parts of this were very listenable, immensely clever and fun to follow. However, the random and absurd plot twists ended up ruining the overall experience for me. It seemed as if someone put a handful of loosely related scenarios and storylines onto scraps of paper. These pieces of paper were then placed into a jar. Every few chapters a new slip was pulled out.

This might be fun for an improv class, but it became ridiculous when attempting to develop a scifi story. Which is too bad, because I love full-cast, made-for-radio productions.

The narrator is WAY too intense-

Revisado: 03-15-23

It was almost impossible to get a sense of the story, or for the characters, because the narrator was freakily intense. He injected hystrionic melodrama into almost every aspect of the story - breathing heavily, voice shaking, whispering and then SHRIEKING at times. Ultimately, his over-the-top emoting led me to cringe away from most of the characters, and I doubt that is what the author intended. Perhaps I'll read it on Kindle at some point.

Clever cyberpunk concepts -

Revisado: 08-24-19

In general, I enjoyed this book. It explored clever future-culture concepts. And I love how it touched on the pointless horror of animal cruelty (including hunting) without being unnecessarily graphic. However, the hipster voice in which the story was written was self-conscious and forced, almost embarrassing. Lion, the lead character, came across as someone playing the role of "Cool Guy" on TV. Since he was supposedly an intuitive trend finder, his lack of complexity and emotional depth ruined the effect for me.
