The plot twists

Revisado: 12-04-24

The book was great. The only minor criticism I would have is if you are used to Pendergast sounding like Rene Auberjonois, you will be disappointed. The narrator did a great job, but it would have been nice if RA could have done the Pendergast voice in creole.

I expected something exciting

Revisado: 07-12-24

This was not their best work. The story line was okay, but I truly expected something more exciting. I kept waiting but nothing really happened.

Constant references to covid

Revisado: 12-03-23

I wonder if, in retrospect, Robin Cook would like to retract the constant references to covid, masks, the vax and boosters since now we know they didn't prevent covid nor did they prevent the spread of covid. The story was fine, but it felt more like a book written so he could work in covid references and how woke is good and noble.

Interestingly different

Revisado: 10-13-23

The story line was interesting and had elements that were different from other time travel books. The general narration was great. The only off putting thing there was the different voice for the Etienne portions. Having two different voices for one character was odd. For the story in general, the author seemed to get carried away with the in-depth description of the main characters sexual activity for which I couldn't see the value add in a time travel book. But overall I enjoyed the series.

Good Book But...

Revisado: 06-25-22

I am reading this book now, it's very interesting and the narrator is really good. If you didn't know this book was published within the last year or so, you could certainly tell by the fact that the author has followed the script and ensured he included all of the overt concepts of untraditional unions and viewers of one particular news network being portrayed as transphobic and prejudiced. I'm not sure why some writers feel the need to make such comments in a fiction book. It feels uncivil, unnecessary, out of place, and is very likely to alienate a good portion of the readers. Without that, my overall score would have been higher.

Good but not great.

Revisado: 04-21-22

If potential readers are looking for information about election machines either why so many thought those were the problem or how they were not, they won't find that here. Except for about one vague sentence mentioning the machines more in passing, there is nothing. Instead the book leans heavily towards mail in voting being problematic as well as some voter fraud (voting more than once etc.) that can't or won't be proven and certainly none of it punished. My takeaway: the whole process is a convoluted behemoth sure to cause chaos - which some love because they can hide there. I did like the narrarator, she did a great job.

The readers accents were perfect

Revisado: 01-22-22

I really enjoyed this book and will download the next in the series. The book was made all the better by the excellent job of the reader. His mastery of accents is amazing. Certainly recommend.

Too much personal politics

Revisado: 12-25-21

The book is fairly interesting, however, reading for me is a way to escape from the real world for a bit. When authors inject their own personal politics into the story line, it's an instant turn off. I gave up reading this book and won't read another by him.

I Returned This Book

Revisado: 08-11-21

I usually never complain about the 'reader' but in this case, the female reader was really terrible, in my opinion. I'm used to the reader changing their voice so the listener could distinguish between the charcters, this reader didn't do that so it was tough to tell who was saying what. Also she ran the conversations between two people together - something like 'where are you going to the store'. Very annoying. Last, the details with the animals were awful so I decided I had enough.

Well done.

Revisado: 06-10-21

Time travel stories can be tricky, but this one was well done. Interesting and believable, it was more of a page turner than I was expecting. Recommend.
