Great Story Similar to Martian in Style

Revisado: 05-25-21

This was the best sci-fi story I've found in a while. Just a really cool premise and super easy to get into. It's like Bobbiverse had a baby with Martian.

What a great story and change.

Revisado: 07-01-20

I'm in a rut of books not capturing my attention. So much that I asked myself if it was me that changed mysteriously after 9 years of Audible or is it really just not finding a good story. Either way, it was a downer. I can't remember why I decided to get this one but very glad I did. It's been a long time since I would alter my behavior to increase listening opps throughout the day. It's been a long time since I would get in bed and listen to audible instead of using a paperback to shut my eyes.
This story is really impressive, reaffirming I might be able to write but never at this level. I love it when stories are really intelligently creative to the point that I know I couldn't have "thunk up" that small detail in a full year if my livelihood depended on it. Really really killer story.

Over 200 Books and This One...

Revisado: 11-05-19

is the best story. I hope one day to find a better one but I doubt it. To me, this story is better than Seven Eves, Mr. Mercedes and all of the Charles Frazier novels. Not by much, but by enough to be able to say it's better. I never thought 13 Moons or Elegance of a Hedgehog would be beat, but hey, that's why we keep reading/listening. The search for a great story. I absolutely can't wait until I can say this one is #2. Now back to my search...

I'm a Dude

Revisado: 08-26-19

I caved on the algo's persistence. Sometimes it's "righter" than my snap judgement. I got sick of searching for the warm fuzzies, and not finding it, in the scifi and single-bad-ass cats, I thunk back to discovering Gillian. Man! So I took a stab it this one. I'll put it like this, Gillian is always zero on the Nich Sparkometer, but for me she's eights, nines and tens everywhere else. So if Gillian = -x and N. Sparks = x, Gen, in my opinion, this book is a wee on the Sparks side of zero.

I really liked it. I felt sad when the artist wanted me to and other emotions too. It's nice when that all stays in sync. Pretty pretty story. I wonder if these stories exist in the real world.

A Refreshing Change

Revisado: 09-19-18

I've read every Rapp, Andreas, Gentry, Shannon and Victor book. I didn't know I was secretly looking for a book written like this one, but I was. It's less about the characters and more about the details and painting a realistic story. I can't help but feel that a lot of these characters are slightly modified versions of real people. Or like the plot line is straight out of a war game.

Very refreshing change.

Scott Brick! Are you serious?

Revisado: 08-11-18

This isn't a book about detectives in the 1930s. I cannot believe anyone making these types of decisions could say, "Yeah. Let's go with Scott."

I hope I can finish the listen. I returned one night before last because it was Scott. Don't get me wrong. I like Scott in the Clive Cussler novels. He's perfect and makes the story so much better but this is Mitch Rapp!

Junk Unless Underperforming

Revisado: 06-26-18

This will help you unless you're already performing. This is a book about a guy who mimicked his dad. Most boys naturally do this. Find a book about someone who rose from nothing. There are many.

So Simplist6

Revisado: 06-26-18

Spoon fred. Did something but things he really did something. Easy to excel when you're coming from spoiled land. Read Snowball to understand what it means to take an early belief and multiply it. Entirely different scenario.

How to Walk Through Life and Leave Things Better

Revisado: 05-23-18

I'm a military/spy/assasin fiction fan but for some strange reason I bought this book a long time ago. Outside of '7 Habits...' and 'How to Win Friend...', I find myself referring to this book most. I'm talking about when thinking about being a better person, when thinking about the government and even politics. If this books grabs you like it grabbed me, you might find that you just walk through life leaving less of a mess behind you. Silly example: Because of this book, when I go to a store with buggies in the parking lot, I always drag one or two of them back to the store on arrival. I very rarely need a buggy for myself but this just makes me feel like a better person. And if everyone did things like that, this world would be better.

Another thing it illustrates is sacrificing for you children. Putting yourself in front of that snake so if someone gets popped, it's not the child.

This is the only fiction book I've ever listened to, twice. I even bought the paperback.

I can say this book changed me.
