The Vikid Truth

Little Gem

Revisado: 10-06-24

There is so much content out there it’s hard to know what’s good. I’ve experimented with many books and abandoned them early on or half way through when they just weren’t up to scratch. This is not one of those. It captivating and has just the right amount of humor not to take itself too seriously. It’s a lot of fun but not mindless.

I was skeptical

Revisado: 03-28-24

I wasn’t sure of this book. Reviews looked good but I’ve been fooled by those before. Not withstanding all the skepticism I took a chance and was richly rewarded. It’s a great story with a wonderful twist. They say there’s nothing new under the sun… except sometimes there is… 😃

As good as always

If you’ve come this far you know. Great story, Thorn is a beast. The pacing is good and there’s the regular humor.

Better that the first book

Revisado: 11-14-23

This story is getting better and better. Great imagination. Never thought I’d get into LitRPG. Always been more of a straight Scifi fan.

Brilliant Exposition

Revisado: 11-07-23

I read about half the book and finished the rest by audio. Both experiences were wonderful. Speaker for the Dead is a wonderful work of fiction, it is grand in a way that only Science Fiction can be, it is deep, like literature while being exciting and fun, like a Hollywood blockbuster. It’s the perfect sequel to Ender’s Game and better than its predecessor. Looking forward to the next in the series.

A fun listen

Revisado: 10-13-22

I would give it a 5 star. The story is original enough, the characters are funny and the pacing is good. I knock it only for I thought the story was a little to simplistic, it isn’t bad, nor are there any gaping plot holes or annoyances. It’s just a tad simple and I would have liked something with more depth. I still highly recommend it for anyone who wants a light hearted adventure which mixes web developers with fairies and demons!

A Must Read or Listen

Revisado: 08-16-22

Narrated well. The book is long but has you hooked all the way. It’s blown me away. I knew there was stuff happening. But how it happened, how close we got to total catastrophe and how many times is astonishing.

I have read thousands of books in the last 10 years. This ranks amongst the best. Close your eyes and get it and while your at it, get some copies for friends and loved ones. This is a masterpiece.

Closing the Story

Revisado: 06-06-22

This was the second and final book in the series. It closed the story off in a nice clean and satisfying way. I really liked it, kept me entertained on a long journey while posing some nice philosophical conundrums without taking itself too seriously. The world building is completely self complained and it works as a sci-fi with vampires and dragons. Very cleverly done. Gerrold is a genius of this genre.

Absolute must read

Revisado: 02-10-20

Wow, this book is explosive. It gives you not just an inner look into the main characters cast but also great insight in how the political game is played in general. It matters not that these chosen individuals are corrupt but how they hide it, how they portray themselves on the national/international stage is what I found interesting.
