Exquisite character development

Revisado: 06-18-24

What a fantastic book and so beautifully and sensitively read. Highly recommend. You don't need to be a gamer to love this one. The story, the characters and the worlds they create are enough to keep any reader engaged.

Compelling, but ended felt a bit forced

Revisado: 01-04-24

A very detailed courtroom based novel that does a great job of unpacking the nuance of America trial law, but the ended just felt forced a flat. The male voices are well done, but the female voices sound almost mechanical and don't do the characters justice. Overall an enjoyable listen, but nothing to write home about.

So meta it’s meta of the meta by the meta

Revisado: 08-14-23

It’s pretty meta. Very engaging but loses the plot a little at the end. Performance is outstanding. Great variance in character voice while not sounding cartoonish or overly put on. Definitely worth a listen. If you know or have ever been curious about the world of publishing. Plus, it’s on the NYT best seller list which is super meta.

Almost, but not quite great

Revisado: 01-09-23

An interesting story and really well read by Vance, but it just seemed to lack any sort of punch. The first person written account format was really well though out, but it felt like the reveals were underwhelming. Overall I enjoyed it, but would not give it a second listen.

If you love guns,this is for you,if not,it's okay.

Revisado: 12-27-22

If you love guns, war or are somewhat politically conservative I imagine this book would be brilliant. If you aren't any of those three it's okay. Porter is amazing as always, but the story is a bit dull once you get to through the who-dun-it part. It also gets insanely technical with the weapons descriptions, which feels like detail anyone outside of the military just wouldn't really need.

In short, it's interesting enough that I finished it...but that's probably more down to Porter than Carr.

Hope seems to have no hope left

Revisado: 12-17-22

An interesting story but William Hope's voice was just painfully monotonous at times. It was really tough to plough through the narrative when just the protagonist is in play. There is some inflection and accents when doing the different characters, which is nice, but it took me weeks to finish this because his voice was just so boring. The story itself is quite compelling, and it's got the hard sci-fi elements one is looking for, but not sure it makes up for it.

A match made in heaven

Revisado: 12-04-22

Basically, the combination of Andy Weir story telling with Ray Porter delivery is outstanding. If you like hard sci-fi, this is an absolute must.
