Hadn’t read this since high school, so it was a treat to hear it again

Overall fine

Revisado: 09-27-22

This book seemed to have two endings. It was probably an editing error. It was disconcerting and odd, but the story is overall fine and the characters are like able and entertaining, so I still gave it three stars.

Awful story about an abused child

Revisado: 05-22-22

I wanted to read an action adventure story, and instead had to wade through the main character’s horrifying childhood experiences. No thanks.

WTF

Revisado: 12-03-21

The premise was interesting, but this turned out to be Christian propaganda disguised as science fiction. I was too far into the story before I realized. Now I feel like this is several hours of my life I will never get back.

Police procedural

Revisado: 08-23-21

Why did I buy a police procedural? It took seven or eight chapters just to get through the first day after they found the body. Lame. And by about midway through listening to it just for background I not only fell asleep for an hour and didn’t rewind, but also wanted to know how it ended. It just took way too long to get there.

OMG why did I read this

Revisado: 08-05-21

The original book about societal trolls. If you can stand to finish it you’ll be doing better than I did

Rape as a theme is not my cup of tea

Revisado: 05-19-21

Spoilers











But at least we didn’t have to sit through it this time. Just allusions, and memories (or lack thereof.) a nail biting edge of your seat story, and I assume we need to read this one to know what is happening in the next. If I read any more of Briggs’ books, that is.

Misogyny

Revisado: 04-05-19

Didn’t finish. In the first 20 minutes, MC spends all his thoughts on his sword and objectifying all the women he encounters. He even brags about how his girlfriend lets his do something chauvinistic. WTF?!?

Horribly predictable

Revisado: 04-05-19

Narrator just didn’t seem to get the inflection right. Just sounded a little flat the whole time.

Only read this if you are the kind of person who likes to hate the first 45 minutes, just to be dragged into a story whose every twist and turn leads exactly where you expect it to go.

I am so, so sad about the end... ***Spoilers***

Revisado: 04-13-18

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I was on board for all of the left-leaning propaganda (I loved it, in fact) but I did not like the end.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Why does Atticus just roll over and take it at the end? He's a fighter. Also, Granuaile could have learned some things about herself - changing her perspective - and yelled at Atticus for leaving her out at the end but seriously?!?!?! leaving him on his own when he just lost such an important part of himself is incredibly harsh. And I'm a feminist.

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

yes - he doesn't do as well at differentiating Granuaile and Atticus' voices as he has in past works, but he is still amazing. Slo-mo and Oberon, Starbuck and Orla - plus the three main characters. Such range!

Did Scourged inspire you to do anything?

cry and drink.

Any additional comments?

I still laughed at all the silly jokes and puns, I just didn't see the end coming. I don't care if it would have been trite if Atticus was triumphant. Leave him something besides the dogs, for goodness sake.
