Man, this was long...

Revisado: 02-03-25

I can't believe I made it through this book. I almost bailed on it several times. I guess I'm glad I stuck with it if for nothing more than stubbornness. I didn't really like the presenter but the story kept me involved.

I Had To Binge It

Revisado: 01-22-25

At first, I had my doubts about this book but it didn't take long for it to hook me. Great story. The reader was not so convincing reading the male speaking parts but it was good enough. I put this on my wife's reading list as I think she will enjoy it even more than I did.

Great read

Revisado: 01-05-25

Amazing story and knowing that the author held back makes it even more meaningfully impactful.

Great subject matter. Awful AI presentation.

Revisado: 12-04-24

Loved the story but the AI presentation comes off as halting and uber sanitary. Zero emotion in the speaking. It's like being read a story by HAL9000 from 2001 A Space Odyssey.

AI Doesn't Even Try

Revisado: 10-01-24

What probably is a great story is systematic destroyed here by the artificial intelligence reader. What little emotion or inflection there is in the AI reader is misplaced. The whole thing comes off in a robotic manor that ruins any sense of sincerity to what could have been an interesting story.

Note to publishers:
Spend a little extra and pay some poor schlub to actually read the book. A 5th grader could have put more emotion into this book.

Mediocre Story Made Worse By Reader

Revisado: 08-19-24

I had high hopes for this book. I was ultimately disappointed. Not only is the story in the book trite and predictable, but the reader of this book is awful. You have to have your finger on the volume button constantly because he goes from barely audible to booming and back to barely audible in seconds. His quavering inflections of projected emotion are so far over the top. You quickly get the impression that everyone in this story is permanently pissed off and it desensitizes the story.
It really wears on you quickly. Honestly, I don't think I could do another book read by Scott Brick. I barely made it to the end.

Geez this is a long read.

Revisado: 08-06-24

Several times I almost bailed on this read but really, I'm glad I stuck with it. Even having taken Ohio History in the 7th grade, it had not been really ground into me how bloody and violent this era of history really was.

A Poor Attempt at Making WWII Titillating

Revisado: 06-24-24

This book started out at least keeping my interest. As it progressed, two things became apparent.

First, artificial intelligence reading needs a LOT of work.

Second, the book takes a sudden turn into what could be described as a 1942 version of Penthouse Forum.

The thing about injecting sex into stories is the stories need to justify the interaction. The sexual interactions in this story are about as clunky and mechanical as the reader of the story and at best, laughable.

This sudden sexual turn in story content takes up space in the story that could have been used to make the story more impactful and less abbreviated.

Wow. Just... Wow.

Revisado: 11-16-23

I recently attended the Long Goodbye Tour Concert in Cleveland and enjoyed it immensely. Joe Walsh stole the show. This concert piqued my interest in the bands history. Which led me to this audio book. I most certainly would have felt differently about the surviving members if I had read this book before the concert.

Having been only a casual fan of The Eagles, I abhor celebrity gossip as a whole so I never really paid much attention to any of their behind the scenes drama. I found this book to be very entertaining and informative.

Don should have taken a psychology class at some point in his early education so he could have recognized the behavior of his fellow band mates as pure narcissism. He maybe could have understood these events a little better with that perspective.

All in all, a great read. Both content and performance. Don. if you read this. You should consider a casual retirement being an audio book reader. Your voice and performance is A-1.
