A Great Sequel

Revisado: 08-17-24

I can't wait for the next installment. This book built upon the first one very well.

Courageous, heartbreaking, and inspiring

Revisado: 11-26-21

Thank you, Ms. Park, for sharing your story. My heart breaks for the people of North Korea. Your story has inspired me to fight for human rights all over the world. Your story reminded me how important it is to speak out against socialism, human trafficking, and censorship. Thank you for your courage and openess.

Terrible Audio Quality

Revisado: 05-08-20

Look, this is a classic. I get that the audio was recorded ages ago, but this story deserves an updated recording without music. That kind of thing belongs in audio dramas, not a modern audio book.

Audible could at LEAST remaster the audio and make it cleaner. If you don't believe me about the poor quality, listen to the sample on Google Play Books: it's night and day.

Finally, Audible needs to stop being lazy and divide this info chapters which align with the book. All of the reasons given for this NOT being done by now are garbage. It doesn't matter that the old CD version (from which many of the older works are taken) didn't have chapters which aligned. That was an issue relevant to CDs as an optical media format. This is pure digital. This happens a lot on Audible (and maybe other audio book services).

Audible has the best catalogue and good prices, so they win the day, but poorly handling a classic like this is inexcusable.

Overrated

Revisado: 09-25-17

Another old sci fi classic that's overrated. While there are some merits to the work, the lack of believability undercut the story.

Whether this was Orwell's critique of Stalinism or not, I don't know. What I DO know is that everyone (all parties) needs to immediately stop using it in political discourse. It's too far disconnected from reality. So much so, it's almost dystopian fantasy more than dystopian sci fi.

And yes, I understand that many wouldn't categorize this work as sci fi, but the prevalence of technology makes it hard for me to simply categorize it as a dystopian fiction.

In the end, I say skip it and read a good summary. despite what many say, the section in which The Book is read, is probably the most relevant part of the story.

Very Good

Revisado: 09-24-15

Yet another good Dresden story. I really can't complain. There are a couple of errors that Marsters makes, but that's just how things go with some audiobooks.

Great Book, Great Reader

Revisado: 09-05-15

My only real complaint is Audible. The Android app is terrible. The story is GREAT. If you like fantasy, I HIGHLY recommend it.

Terrible

Revisado: 08-27-15

I can't believe that this book is so highly regarded. It's easily one of the most poorly constructed sci-fi works I've ever read. [SPOILERS] EVERYTHING concerning Wilbur Mercer didn't make sense, Rick's infatuation with Rachael didn't make sense, the radioactive dust didn't even make sense. It's like Dick decided not to actually write the setting properly. Then there's Buster Friendly... I mean... that's the worst possible name and it just seems silly. I can't BELIEVE how highly regarded this book is.

Deep

Revisado: 08-14-15

This final novel was a fitting end to the trilogy. It was deep, though. Deeper than I expected. The reader did an OUTSTANDING job on this one. I'll miss this series.

Excellent, but Heavy

Revisado: 08-09-15

I can't believe how different this novel is from the first. This one was grittier, but it was very good, I'd argue even more compelling than its predecessor. the reader did a better job on this book, compared to the first. Overall, it's darn good.

Great book about sisters

Revisado: 08-04-15

Great book especially for sisters. Excellent narrator! My girls and I loved listening to Stockard Channing read this book.
