Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

One of the most original books I’ve EVER enjoyed!
Revisado: 12-22-23
I relished every twist and turn, the special “voices” of the characters and the warm “humanity” of the non-humans. Andy’s final cadence completes the experience with a crystal-clear peal of hope.

Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon - the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him "the bitter neighbor from hell". But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness.

Bittersweet and Lovely
Revisado: 09-07-16
I did NOT expect to love this book about a curmudgeonly, older middle aged man. But, the beauty of the writing, this careful precision and love with which the recording was made changed my mind entirely. A beautiful message that, even towards the twilight of ones life, one can still be open to developing loving relationships with those around you, no matter what came before. Highly recommended!

Masterfully crafted tale
Revisado: 04-02-15
A poetic elegy to the interrelated beauty of relationships: the human, the quantitative, the heart and the sport. Both precise and artistic, this book had a perfect story arc from beginning to end. A must-read.

Adam Griffey is living two lives. By day, he teaches literature. At night, he steals it. Adam is a plagiarist, an expert reader with an eye for great works. He prowls simulated worlds perusing virtual texts, looking for the next big thing. And when he finds it, he memorizes it page by page, line by line, word for word. And then he brings it back to his world, the real world, and he sells it. But what happens when these virtual worlds begin to seem more real than his own? What happens when the people within them mean more to him than flesh and blood?

Strong pairing between the narration style and the content. The author did a masterful job of bringing to light the world within a world concept.

Strongly convincing performance, but confusing
Revisado: 02-25-14
Would you listen to The Orphan Master's Son again? Why?
I would not listen to this book again, because the characters' names were too confusing in listening format. It would have been less problematic visually, I think.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The most interesting part of this book was the verisimilitude to current affairs. The horrific storyline was more than credible, knowing what we hear in the news about North Korea at present.
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
The performer was masterful at creating the cadence and enunciation of Korean speech, and equally adept at both female and male voices.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The story was SO painful, I had a hard time actually finishing this book.
Any additional comments?
Brilliant reading!
