A fne whodunnit

Revisado: 10-19-21

Came for the KC Wayland and stayed for the well acted hotel whodunnit story. More than meets the eye with classic elements of the genre while offering interesting characters and twists.

Pass, even if free

Revisado: 05-13-20

This is the worst thing I have ever listened to. There’s a reference to something pop culture literally, literally, every third sentence. The dialogue is bad and cluttered. The characters have no depth beyond being absolute parody, which does not work at all because absolutely none of the humor lands. It’s an awful mix of edgelord nonsense and *holds up spork* random attempts at humor. And his own references to his work and how it “offends” people is just his underlying awareness of how awful his content is.

What a pleasant surprise

Revisado: 08-06-18

I had no idea what to expect here and I loved every moment. The narrators absolutely nail the characters as well.

Another absolute delight

Revisado: 11-13-17

Every one of these is a joy. They're clever, fun, and well cast. Listening to this on audio is the ultimate way to enjoy them. I had a smile through the entire listen. I am grateful to have heard some of these stories live as well. (AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY)

Fleshing out a beloved series.

Revisado: 10-19-15

This is definitely more what I was hoping for from the new canon. Golden does a fantastic job of making me care about Asajj. Although some of the plot felt rushed or glossed over, I certainly enjoyed this. I listened to the audiobook, and Marc Thompson does an incredible job.

An instant Star Wars classic.

Revisado: 10-19-15

This is the book that I wanted to see in the new Star Wars canon. I looked forward to this one for a long time and it delivered.

Tarkin brings to deeper light a character full of dark and twisted ambition. It shows an inside look to the horrible mind of one of the Empire's most wicked leaders. And the author does such a good job of making him respectable, intelligent, and grand(moff) that you almost forget what a monster Tarkin was. This is a must read for the new canon.

Euan Morton does a good job of not just capturing Tarkin but EVERY character that shows up.

Name spoiler: Armand Isard is mentioned. Old canon pushing through!

Not sure what I expected, or what I got.

Revisado: 10-19-15

So I don't know if I liked this book or not, but I acknowledge it's quality and the conversation it provides. I get that it's not an action sci fi, more of a sociological book, but I think it failed in that regard and that's why I knocked it down a few stars. It feels like JUST the radio speech Galt gives in Atlas Shrugged without any of the quality narrative surrounding the speech. It spent more time preaching than selling me on the society under these rules.

The memoir of a soldier appeal is truly what kept me reading. I know it's nit picking but after his section about "spanking children solving the world's problems speech" I was a bit less interested in what Heinlein had to say. This is worth a read, but keep your mind active and ready to think.

Adventures of Darth and Darth, nothing more.

Revisado: 10-19-15

This book delivered what I wanted. It had an insight into Vader's mind, his relationship with the Emperor, and some action for early rebel movements. It's fun and enjoyable, but not overly deep or dramatic as far as the big picture of star wars goes. It's definitely worth a read for fans with the new canon. I listened to this on audible, and the narration by Jonathan Davis is top notch.

An immensely fulfilling journey

Revisado: 10-19-15

This may have been my favorite. Again I can't insist enough that the audio book is the superior format. The ending with the author is also charming and cheeky.

Even better this time.

Revisado: 10-19-15

This one was even more brilliant than the last. The wampa, AT-ATs, and Ugnaughts had me in tears of laughter. The climax of the film is done well and is still captivating in this format. If you made it through the first one and enjoyed the experience this one won't disappoint. Again, you MUST listen to the audiobook. It's wizard.
