She was a successful ad sales rep in Manhattan. He was a homeless 11-year-old panhandler on the street. He asked for spare change; she kept walking. But then something stopped her in her tracks, and she went back. And she continued to go back, again and again. They met up nearly every week for years and built an unexpected, life-changing friendship that has today spanned almost three decades.

Real, but not exaggerated.

There was never profanity used. More editors need to understand it isn’t as necessary as they believe.
Honest, but not grossly meticulous in the tragic details.

Revisado: 06-26-20
As far as dystopias go, this post-big-population tech story takes a fresh tack by peeling back the layers on our own world to show us an ugly tyranny deep within it. I appreciated the heroism, clean content, and lively performance by the author.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 161
Once we were drivers, the open road alive with autonomy, adventure, danger, trust, and speed. Today we are as likely to be in the back seat of an Uber as behind the wheel ourselves. Tech giants are hurling us toward a shiny, happy "self-driving" future, selling utopia but equally keen to advertise to a captive audience strapped into another expensive device. Are we destined, then, to become passengers, not drivers? Why We Drive reveals that much more may be at stake than we might think.

Great research, compelling narrative, damning indictment of the tech gods that would strip you of your humanity in their perverse quest to enslave us all

It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the 10th annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to out charm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute. The odds are against him. He’s been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low.

While the last 30-40 minutes had me arching one eyebrow in slight confusion (it merits a re-read), the arc of Snow's rise to power was a great story to behold. Alas I suppose I will always have questions, but this was a wonderful book.

After Germany and Japan won WWII, the US fell under their control. Growing up in this world, Mac plays portical games, haphazardly studies for the Imperial Exam, and dreams of becoming a mecha pilot. Only problem: Mac's grades are terrible. His only hope is to pass the military exam and get into the prestigious mecha pilot training program at Berkeley Military Academy. When his friend Hideki's plan to game the test goes horribly wrong, Mac washes out of the military exam, too. Perhaps he can achieve his dream by becoming a civilian pilot.

USJ wasn't bad, maybe a little underwhelming but still fun. MSE was a better sequel that burned the hours away, I liked it more.

This was a cool urban fantasy that respectfully draws on religious lore. Great sound recording too!

it was nice to read a fantasy with good characters and tension and stuff but no profanity or sex. The mark of a skilled storyteller.

I liked the cover art, and Ledford has a great voice for narrating. This story just dragged on a little too long and was too on-the-nose.

Once fall hits and the chilly weather settles in, the holiday season has begun! And nothing embodies holiday spirit more than the continuing of family traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. May it be sharing stories at the dinner table, laughs on the porch, or just time spent alone - everyone has their own ritual. Join Dana Cowin, author and former editor-in-chief of Food & Wine, as she chats with some of today’s most popular chefs and food personalities.

When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong, physics student Bill Rustad and his friends find that they have accidentally created an inter-dimensional portal. They connect to Outland - an alternate Earth with identical geology, but where humans never evolved. The group races to establish control of the portal before the government, the military, or evildoers can take it away. Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet.

Unoriginal ideas + tons of profanity
Revisado: 07-09-19
I really wanted to get into this book, but Taylor departed wildly from his established Bobiverse style. "Outland" started as a very very close copy of Steven Gould's "Wildside," right down to the interdimensional gate and the Ice Age animals on the other side.
Then he just started slapping ideas together! It was basically a grab bag of "Lost" and "The Walking Dead" with even flatter characters and horrible dialogue. And Ray Porter did an awful job of voicing the female characters. In the end, the only interesting bits were the science facts.
I hope he goes back to writing the Bobiverse, this was just...bad.
