Love this Series

Revisado: 08-08-20

I have now read the first three of the Wellington Bonaparte sag and it is fascinating. Scarrow is an excellent writer and Keeble reads it as if he was there!
Have just acquired the final book in the series!

Slipping

Revisado: 01-08-20

Good story line but far too much repetition. I don’t need to be reminded every few lines of what they are worrying about or what happened. Exceptionally annoying.

Disappointing

Revisado: 01-02-19

Not up to scratch. Quite disappointed. Unrealistic and pretty stupid. But well read. I did finish it.

Yes, its a police procedural but its one of the best I have listened to. Up there with McKintey.

Don't read / listen to this book!!

Revisado: 06-17-17

What disappointed you about Kill Switch?

Don't mind sci fi but the way that this was written and the characters were ridiculous. The plot was stupid and drawn out unbearably. The personal reactions of the characters were juvenile and again ridiculous.

Would you ever listen to anything by Jonathan Maberry again?

Absolutely not.

What didn’t you like about Ray Porter’s performance?

It was overdone

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Frustration and more frustration.

Well crafted story about a Greek Detective and the events leading up to the invasion of Greece during the Second World War. Characterisation excellent, reading excellent.

Crichton would have been disappointed.

Revisado: 01-04-12

This is the book Michael Crichton had supposedly partly written before he died. In reality I suspect that Crichton did no more than construct a plot outline and the book was largely the work of Preston. Like so many other books that purport to be 'co-written', it trades on the name and reputation of the established author but does not possess the quality writing that gained the author his original reputation because in actuality it has been write by someone of much lesser capability.

The plot is a great idea. It is all about a company that develops (and uses for badness and evil) a variant of nanotechnology where it actually shrinks things and people to a tiny proportion of their original size. It covers the adventures of 6 science students who discover something is wrong and are shrunk themselves and dumped in the jungle in Hawaii and their battles to survive against insects and birds (and of course, the baddies). However the characters are poor, the dialogue is atrocious and it is just badly written and presented.

A Delightful Read

Revisado: 12-14-11

Kerry Greenwoods books provide a wonderful picture of Melbourne between the wars. With Phriony Fisher and the competent, smart and beautiful lady detective who none can get the better of. A delightful read (listen) beautifully read.
