Deceptive

Revisado: 09-13-24

Started out fine. Was amusing and like The Wonk character. But it descended into a dark world that I found extremely unpleasant, not funny at all.

Engrossing, compelling, funny

Revisado: 08-18-22

There was something alluring about Offerman’s performance. Almost deadpan, but it conjured the characters perfectly. I didn’t realize how funny Twain was. Especially compelling juxtaposed with the realities of life in the middle ages. Insight into human nature from a time-based historical perspective. Twain had tremendous creativity in thinking this up. Clever solutions and strategies. Held my attention 100%. Going to check up on other Twains i have missed!

Brilliant narration for a great story

Revisado: 06-30-21

Morse and Lewis are brought vividly alive in this outstanding narration of this fantastic Inspector Morse story. Listening to Davidson, Morse and Lewis sound absolutely true to character. Each voice capturing the ver essence of their portrayals in the series. I listened as much for this, relishing the subtle inflections and humor ad much ad the story itself. Now i seek out everything else Davidson has narrated. Just brilliant!

Fun, original story with great production

Revisado: 03-16-21

One gets a bit weary of the Hollywood story formula. This was a very original story with clever details. Great performances and sound fx. Listened in one session!

good story but the overt sexism a GIANT turnoff

Revisado: 01-09-21

I love robot stories so I checked this out. The characters and narration and story are good, but the good-ole-boy sexism is outrageously outdated. It is as though the authors never even considered that women might read this story. It is so degrading and defiling to the concepts of female identity and sex that it is truly stunning to think any legitimate author would think it appropriate to take that tone for a story that is supposed to be set far into the future. Awareness of female oppression, and the oppression of any group of people, for that matter, has grown tremendously even in the last few years. There is no reason to think that this awareness will backslide, rather than progress.

The narration is excellent, however, and I like the story. Every passage containing these misogynist assaults is painful to me, however.

AND IT IS TOTALLY UNNECCESARY.

Plenty can be written to describe a sex bot as attractive, sexy etc. without stopping to what amounts to abuse.
