Fix the audio

Revisado: 03-11-25

At about 2 hrs and 18 mins LEFT mark, the audio does a real weird thing. It cuts out at the end of each sentence / phrase. Almost sounds like each sentence was its own recording and then someone put them all together with breaks between. Hard to explain. Its very jarring and hard to listen to. Did all the normal stuff - deleted download, redownloaded, tried streaming, tried on PC, tried on phone, etc. Audible help was unable to resolve. They said they'd look into it but never did. Was never able to finish the book.

Terrifying, interesting, and well researched. Let’s hope we never find out how real this would be.

Lay off political hot topic, culture war, BS… stopped listening.

Revisado: 12-01-23

Stopped listening about an hour in. Would return if I could. Too much droning on and pontificating about the author's political hot topics. It's like he took every popular fox news talking point and decided to give his viewpoint on it. This comes from someone pretty center of the aisle that finds ultra-PC shit annoying, is a gun owner, understands the need for (and supports) police and the military. etc.

Doesn't even make sense to talk about this kind of thing in the third book about some apocalyptic scenario. Well into a situation like this, the character isn't going to give a sh*t about "kids these days", antifa, politics, political correctness, "woke" culture, critical race theory.. yet here he is ranting on about them all. I'm sure if I would have listened more we'd touch on immigrants, inner cities, trans people, the border, Obama, "sheeples", etc etc etc. Doesn't even fit in the story, feels like the author just wanted a stage to share his views. The guy would be concerned about food, shelter, safety, and just getting by. Not complaining about stupid, petty disagreements of the old world.

Excellent series

Revisado: 09-19-23

Very comforting, enjoyable, and relaxing to listen to. Sure they may be an idealized version of an apocalyptic like event, but I hope we could eventually return to something like this if god forbid something bad happened. On my second listen of the series.

Awesome short story in the DBDA universe!

Revisado: 09-08-22

Was holding off on listening to this because it was so short but I missed DBDA so much that I just had to get a fix. Mr Bourne needs to write another book soon!

Chandler’s voices

Revisado: 05-04-22

As a new cork O’Conner listener (listened all the way through to this one in the last 6 months), I’m guessing there were some narrator shenanigans at one point. Some reviews of this book mention missing some other narrator. Chandler (who I think is great!) has been, and is, listed as the narrator since book 1 (as of 2022). So I don’t know the order in which chandler read the books, but a couple things in this one caught me off guard regarding the narration: Henry maloux’s voice up until this book has been the perfect old man voice. Now in this book, he talks like a regular dude. Not sure what’s up with that. Also several of the ojibwe word pronunciations are different in this book. I don’t know what is right but I’ve been used to the pronunciations in the last 10+ books. Can’t wait to hear the rest, regardless of voices or pronunciations. Chandler is awesome. Can’t wait for more Joe Pickett books as well!

One other thing — I’m sure it’s not quite as striking listening to these as they came out — but when you listen to them all over several months, the amount of utterly crazy, life altering, once-in-a-lifetime things that happen to this one family from a tiny little town, is nuts. I understand the book series would be boring as hell if it were realistic. Kind of the paradox in the TV show longmire. No tiny Wyoming town is going to have a murder a week. Every single event that’s happened to all of corks family would be something a real person would NEVER forget and would tell that story the rest of their life.

So meh

Revisado: 11-30-21

Cheesy cringey action and dialog. Frustrating, stupid, and overly emotional characters. Acting was meh. Story was super dumb.
