Seemed shallow and I didn't like the pacing

Revisado: 08-10-21

All the characters seemed to lack depth... I think that is consistent with the old radio show, but that seems a little childish for a novel... Also, it seems like the shadow doesn't even understand how his powers work, but he was trained I thought. That seems inconsistent. I think I could have ignored that if the story was more gripping, but I just found myself mildly interested.

Not as good and too short

Revisado: 01-07-18

I loved “Confessions” and “Origins”. “Secrets” was pretty good, but seemed more like a short story. This felt like a half story. Very little happens. And lots of questions were left open. I guess that makes is more like a comic book, but it isn’t what I expect from a published book.

Maybe I’ll wait until the series is finished before buying anymore.

Fun read

Revisado: 09-29-17

I really enjoyed this story. It was fun and well-paced. The characters were enjoyable, and nothing about the book took itself too seriously. It is a very funny book.

First half was great

Revisado: 09-29-17

The first half of this book was fascinating, scary and eye-opening. I really feel like it changed the way I viewed the world, technology and the trouble in the middle east.

The second half was good, but it got very long-winded and nostalgic. It is interesting that so many people came from his home town, but seemed incongruous with the whole first half. I know he tried to make a connection to the two, but I didn't like/buy it.

Getting Tired

Revisado: 09-29-17

Honestly, I just don't think there is enough story here. I keep thinking there will be an end to this series, but it never comes.

I enjoyed the first few. It was neat how they turned some of the vampire stereotypes sideways. I liked the characters and the 'family' (Sally, Ed and Bill) they built was neat.

The first couple books felt like stand alone stories, but now they just feel like really long comic book issues.

I love when the Author reads their work

Revisado: 12-15-15

What did you love best about Not Without My Father?

This was clearly a deeply personal book... All of the characters were realistically flawed, but very likable. It made me reflect my familial relationships.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Not Without My Father?

I liked all of the interaction with people along the Trace... My favorite was when a shoe salesman said something like, "There is no cushion that will cure crazy..." That made me laugh out loud...

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

No

Any additional comments?

I really like when the author reads their work. They know exactly what they meant and it brings an additional depth to the words. I really enjoy it when Neil Gaiman reads his work and the same goes for Andra Watkins.

It's just slow

Revisado: 07-30-12

I want to like these books, and they are pretty good, but they are just so darn slow. I guess, since Nicholas Flammel is mentioned in Harry Potter, I thought these books would be almost as good. They are not. I like all the mythical references, and I especially like the Reference to Musashi Myomoto in this book, but just because the author chooses interesting characters, doesn't mean the story is not important. I want to finish the series, but honestly it seems to drag on.

This changed the way I look at food!

Revisado: 03-16-12

The information in this book was completely new to me. The things that we take for granted about food are not true (or at least unproven). This book was an exhaustive look at food and health, in particular the diseases of civilization. Very interesting stuff, but it is exhausting to listen to. The amount I learned made up for the excessive explanation and evidence... On the other hand i am not sure I would have been convinced with less evidence.

Terry Pratchett is hilarious

Revisado: 03-16-12

All of the disk world stories are fun. I liked the additional insight into the assasin's guild. I would love to have a list of all the character's names in the disk world... I think this had a little bit better love story then most... Not that that is critical to the story,but it adds additional depth. As i am writing this review, I can' remember a lot of the details of the story,but I remember liking it... That may give you some insight into what kind of story this is. Fun interesting fluff.

Excellent background and awesome narrator

Revisado: 03-16-12

What did you love best about Star Wars: Darth Plagueis?

The story was consistent with everything I know about star wars, and the narrators voice was just short of James earl jones himself...

What was one of the most memorable moments of Star Wars: Darth Plagueis?

I don't want to give away any of the story,but it was good all the way through

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listen to this on my way to work. It took a little over a week
