Just a quick compliment

Revisado: 04-19-23

I really love both books by the author. The summit is more exciting but ghost moths is probably a better story... blah, at any rate both are great and when I figured out the writer did his own narration I was honestly surprised. Most of the time when an author does the narration it's horrible and barely worth listening to but this dude excels at it.

I don't climb mountains or have any desire too, but I get an idea of the passion and commitment the author has to it from the writing. It makes me wish I did have an interest in it honestly.

oh, and the reference to the zen of motorcycle repair definitely sold me on being a fan. I never met anyone who read that book that I didn't get along with.

thanks!

i love the series but the dramatized stuff...

Revisado: 02-10-20

the dramatization just doesnt work for me. :/ the story is as good as the others and its worth listening too... but sometimes i just want to cringe. this series could make an amazing series for tv or probably ok as movies.... but as a radio style drama... well its like all other radio style dramas... lots of banging noises, weird music at weird times and acting that just doesnt suit the mood of the book. not a fan of dramatized audio books. huge fan of rc bray and the beer can.

really loved this book.

Revisado: 09-07-18

as soon as the narrator started talking I was like "oh crap... how annoying is that guys voice going to be?"

but he actually grew on me and I loved the performance. . and the writing.

the ending.... well,... I feel like it stole a chapter out of a cheesy 30 minute sitcom to try and convince me to buy the next one in the series and failed. sorry. no.... I probably would have bought the next one if you hadn't felt the need to end this book so obviously baiting me into the next one. Now I wont just based on principal.

this books tries too hard to be clever and funny

Revisado: 07-22-18

as stated... it tries to be clever and humorous but it didnt work for me. I felt like I was listening to a bad Monty python knockoff. the reader did great though. ... the story and writing just... meh.

loved this story.... spoilers.. it's worth a read

Revisado: 06-13-18

my only complaint... and its minor... is the "end of the world" stuff through the middle. yeah I get the idea a nazi on Everest first would have been a big deal and would be used to further the skin head movement.... but I think they pushed that aspect too hard and made it seem sort of silly before they let it go.

aside from that. loved it.

meh.... t

it's okay... the young girl character drove me insane. it puts her age at 11, but she thinks more like a seven year old and acts like a 17 year old. missed the mark with that one.

aside from that... it's a decent read, though the narrator style wasn't my favorite.

just listen

Revisado: 08-30-17

I loved this. :) I already have a decent understanding of chemistry and most of these subjects, some little more than a lose grasp of understanding and others more advanced, I still loved it. I learned new things, increased my understanding of others, and smiled several times listening to Doc Neil talk about something he is obviously passionate about. makes me wanna turn back the clock to the Nova science now days.

good stuff.

good book but....

Revisado: 08-01-17

the performance makes this book better. it is perfect. the book is ok, love the writing style, a little less impressed with glossing over, what I am sure, major life decisions and the struggles of coming to terms with that. in 2017 people struggle for years before they can accept who they are, or should have been, and the character in this book treats it like "well, I put my red shirt on today, but I wanted to wear the blue one."

aside from that it's a good story well written and again the performance is great. it's extremely well read.

What a douchebag...

Revisado: 07-07-16

I love the story, but the main character is such a pompous ass it really takes away from it. maybe it's just the way the narrator is reading it. :/

anyway, worth a read and I'll get the second one just because the story is imaginative and believable for sci-fi.
