Starts out good. But ends being awful.

Revisado: 10-09-22

Found the podcast and enjoyed several episodes. The episodes discussing Remember Me 1 and 2 are funny. And the episode of Remember Me 3 and The Starlight Crystal are meh.

The episodes really start to drag by the time they discuss The Starlight Crystal and the next several books. I started getting really irritated listening to the main person behind the podcast. Suddenly things he lists as problematic go from being interesting and funny to be a long winded discussion. I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or being serious at times. Even the others in the discussion seemed confused.
I lost interest in several episodes because the discussion would drag out forever .
The discussions started to get very flat by the time I listened to the episode about The Starlight Crystal.

After this episode some of the people involved just nitpick every detail to death, you know like Riding a dead horse to death.
As an example, in The Starlight Crystal episode, a decision that the main character makes is problematic. Huh?
It seemed like a major event of the plot that had to happen to lead the main plot and subplots to a conclusion.
It sounded like it was problematic to the host of the podcast. I still didn't really understand his explanation and just gave up on the podcast with that episode either way.
The book is not the best Pike book, and has some plotting issues, but I found the criticisms and discussions just got over the top about this YA novel.

The dissection of every part of the plot just stopped being funny and became promotions for the podcasters and guests to mostly discuss their own novels.
I highly recommend the episodes I listed. The Remember Me series, The Last Vampire series, Monster, Die Softly, and Master of Murder. Gary Hendrix is the best part of the Remember Me reviews.

Skip the rest of the episodes.
