Historia
Emily's fight for women's suffrage is put on hold and her life transformed when Wash, the chief engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge, is injured on the job. Untrained for the task, but under his guidance, she assumes his role, despite stern resistance and overwhelming obstacles. Lines blur as Wash's vision becomes her own, and when he is unable to return to the job, Emily is consumed by it. But as the project takes shape under Emily's direction, she wonders whose legacy she is building - hers or her husband's.

Narration missing from Chapter 16? Poor pronunciation. Anachronistic tone.
Revisado: 03-10-25
There appears to be narration missing from Chapter 16 at 12:05. If not, then the splicing of the audio at that point is very jarring and poorly done. Additionally, the numerous mispronunciations of common words cause me to give the performance a low review.
Concerning the story itself, I was rather put off by the anachronistic tone of the writing. Neither Emily nor Washington Roebling sound similar to dialogue written by late 19th century writers, in terms of vocabulary or attitudes.

Historia
More than two centuries after World War III poisoned the planet, the final bastion of humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe in search of a habitable area to call home. Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to Earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers - men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need.

Entertaining despite being trite and predictable
Revisado: 07-13-23
Action-packed entertainment with predictable and trite dialogue and character development. It would probably make a good Hollywood movie.

Historia
The Grand Hotel is a horror novel by esteemed best-selling author Scott Kenemore ( Zombie, Ohio) that takes the reader on a thrilling ride through an interconnected series of stories narrated by the desk clerk and the residents of the hotel itself. And while it is not known whether or not the desk clerk is actually the devil incarnate, it is strange that so many visitors who come for a tour of the hotel have a way of never leaving.

More than just short stories
Revisado: 08-27-22
The reviewers that claim that this is just a collection of short stories are like the clueless tourists in this book that merely seek to be entertained and completely miss the point of every single story in the book. Are The Decameron and The Canterbury Tales just collections of short stories? Similar to these famous books, every single story in The Grand Hotel not only seeks to entertain, but also is directed toward an understanding of human nature. I congratulate the author on a surprisingly good novel in the Gothic vein.

Historia
Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Highly entertaining listen
Revisado: 04-16-21
I'm a bit sad it was so good, since now I must buy the next one. Definitely better than many Scalzi books I've read. Warning: it contains strong language and explicit sexual content.

Historia
At 72, Johnny Ribkins shouldn't have such problems: he's got one week to come up with the money he stole from his mobster boss or it's curtains. What may or may not be useful to Johnny as he flees is that he comes from an African American family that has been gifted with superpowers that are a bit, well, odd. Okay, very odd. For example, Johnny's father could see colors no one else could see. His brother could scale perfectly flat walls. His cousin belches fire. And Johnny himself can make precise maps of any space you name, whether he's been there or not.

Multi-gen'l family drama w/ light superhero aspect
Revisado: 04-13-21
Easy to listen to with excellent narration, and overall an entertaining book. This is a multi-generational African-American family drama set across time, which has only a nominal amount of superhero elements to it. It could have been longer and delved into certain aspects more, but this just reflects how well the book spurred my interest in the characters. It would be a good book club pick.

Faster than light particles send warning messages to the past. Good treatment of paradoxes caused.

Historia
Late Victorian London. When James Miller, the most respectable of Scottish businessmen, is pulled, dead, from the Thames, his daughter is drawn into an investigation which reveals a whole world of secrets and corruption. Alongside local detective Culley, Catriona’s search for her father’s killer leads all the way to the tragic truth behind the ghostly legend of The Darkwater Bride and the power of her deadly kiss. The Darkwater Bride combines the genres of the Victorian mystery thriller with the equally classic Victorian mode of the ghostly tale.

Don't waste your free April credit on this. Good performers, but the story isn't worth the trouble.

Sanderson continues and deepens his detailed fantasy world creation. Hint: listen to the end credits first for Jasnah's notes concerning the various types of surge binding.
