Much better then expected

Revisado: 11-02-24

I read these type books because they are more fun then other more serious LiitRPG books or fantasy/adventure in general. These books with the provocative covers. Some are great and some too simple. I am hours into this series and It is very far from simple. BTW, I just fast forward through the drawn out erotic parts. So far everything is top %5 percent of reads: plot, story development, character development, etc. Narration is great. Often I have to replay, but that is because the story moves fast with lots of dense info I don't want to miss. Yes, this is a page turner. I have trouble putting it down to do work.

Not a one star, read on.

Revisado: 11-24-23

This is for folks like me who read the one star reviews. The other one star reviews for this book are written by idiots.
It is a book of humorous fiction. All of the readers that tried to take this as pure serous are whacked in the head. Of course it is not objective, factual, etc. The author does cover very serious topics, but with sarcasm, and over the top exaggeration. If you are not very smart, don't try this book. If you take yourself or life too seriously you will also be frustrated. Garmus is a brilliant writer. Yes, lots of the scenarios are not realistic. But the author is just using them to poke fun at many unfair situations affecting women, women in science, corporations, the 1950's, and many more. I am a male, widely read, PhD, professor, age 66. At first I scoffed at how unrealistic this book is, and how spot on the one star critical reviews were/are. But I Kept reading, because my wife loved the book. And I am a fan of Brie Larson. So I wanted to like the book. Eventually, I caught on to this non-stop, wry humor. Always tongue in cheek. Often poking fun at the absurdity of corporations and other institutions, and psycho male dominated, life styles. So apologies to the author for the one star.

Good story, phenomenal reader

Revisado: 09-23-23

The book is good, it provides a view of black gang in London. The reader has phenomenal accents. Easy read you don’t want to put it down.

Ray is good the book sucks

Revisado: 01-17-23

I don't know if I can finish this listen. Way too much whining, and almost no story. There is not a plot or character development. It is simple prose The book just goes on indefinitely as a thought stream. The writer mostly vomiting out his feelings. Hours of despair and meaninglessness. Ok we get it. Stream of consciousness at a typewriter, and every so often a small story from some obscure time, place, solider. The book does give an emotional sense of the war: But it is a very bad book.

A real read - not just entertainment

Revisado: 01-17-23

This is a page turning story. It is a coming of age, a coming of life, set in an impossible situation. Very well read/performed. Sometimes had to endure because it seems too real. I read the negative reviews - ex soldiers complaining that officers can't be so dumb. But everyone knows that administration can be that selfish. Otherwise they don't become administrators. So, if you chose to take this adventure. Don't worry about impossible administration orders - probably not so impossible.

Great book, well read

Revisado: 11-04-22

I loved this book. It took a few minutes to get used to but then It was hard to put down. The performance is fantastic, and the story is great. No complaints.

Entertaining, but a total farce

Revisado: 09-28-22

Extremally well read, and very entertaining. The problem is a basic reality check. The protagonist has foolish officers for antagonist, which is never the reality. Especially high ranking officers. Same for company management. Folks don't become high ranking by being this rash or stupid. Officers are very cunning. That is the rule of survival for management.

Second problem is always a picnic for the protagonist. So this story/fairy tale is good up until about 7th grade when children start to not believe in Santa and happily ever after.

Also it is an extremely feel good-chick flick. So no problem with that, but it is that. You have to like a hero chick flick to get through this. Or just hate management and like pretending that they can be overcome by a super powered newbie.

Hard to put down

Revisado: 08-28-22

Truly entertaining. Not heavy on sci fi, or romance. This is a great blend of many genres. Excellent character development, extremely good plot, with plenty of twists. Not predictable. Tremendous performance. Great voices.

Ignore the one star ratters they are idiots

Revisado: 08-18-22

This is a great read. Very entertaining, extremely well read. Yes there is a little sex, it goes along with the vampire theme. Just fast forward. But it is a great action book, with a complex plot and serious character development. The fight scenes are fine. The MC is great. The down ratters probably quit way too soon, or are just prejudiced. I have 400 titles and have tossed out hundreds of terrible reads over the years. (bad reader, boring, not plausible, just stupid) this one passes. I plan to keep reading the series.

Very bland and slow

Revisado: 08-13-22

So, picking titles based on the number of reviews doesn't work. Extremely tedious book. Basically nothing happens. Just lots of words wrapped around a nothing thread of magic/devil.
