Oof, not what I was hoping for, but Then!!

Revisado: 12-11-20

As most here I loved the first book, being a lifelong gamer and an 80's child the references we spot on and created nostalgia along with a great story. This book, probably the most disappointing follow up novel since "Artemis" after "The Martian" is bad, not sure else how to put it. The references too obscure to connect to for most people and the style, then this happened, Then this happened, THEN this happened, ugh.

Honestly I'm not sure Ernest actually wrote this book, it might be a fan novel that he subbed in. While I realize that I have never put myself out there to write a novel and it takes a great deal of work and talent, my summary hits on the disappointment I feel towards this story. While I won't give up on Ernest, 2 of 3 I've read were good. This one will make me hesitant next time.

Very Original Idea but Could Have Been So Much....

Revisado: 09-10-20

More. The premise is good but left undeveloped. While a good quick listen, was left wanting for a larger plot and depth.

My 4 year old son loved it. Thanks Laurie.

Revisado: 12-28-18

Masterfully put together to keep toddlers attention. My son and I listened to the entire book in one long trip and when we finished, he asked if we could start again. That's the best review I can think of for an audiobook and a 4 year old.

The Last Pendergast Novel For Me...

Revisado: 03-20-18

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Would not recommend, I have read all of the other Pendergast novel but the series has become very predictable and I find myself remiss to continue.

What was most disappointing about Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child ’s story?

There was very little intrigue in the same old evil character brought back from the dead again and again. After this book I found myself hoping the protagonist would pass on for good.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

NO.

Just disappointing

Revisado: 01-24-18

The author use some of the aspects of the Martian to make the book at least interesting but overall a disappointing second book from Andy Weir.

Interesting Material; Flat Narrator

Revisado: 07-06-17

The material is a very interesting take comparing neural processing to the Bible and practical steps to accomplishing change. The narrator though was difficult to stay interested in and my thoughts tended to wander which at least I noticed and tried to correct.

Without the rules, what have we got?

Revisado: 11-10-16

I appreciated that the author read the book, it gave it an original quality as though the characters were part of himself. A classic moral fable at its root that left me angry at times at the shadow of our humanity.

A life well lived.

Revisado: 09-21-16

I enjoyed peering into the mind of the author and appreciated his honesty on social and science issues. Well read by Mr Todd, a good book for people with or without a science background.
