If you enjoy sex, drugs, and drunk teens . . .

Revisado: 10-16-16

I like Hamilton's other books and thought this would be good background for the other stories in the series, but it proved to be a lot of sex and getting high. It is basically about an 80(?) year old man who gets the rejuvenated body of a 25 year old and then cannot control himself. He even takes his son's girlfriend. That is the point I stopped the book.

I found it depressing.

Interesting but unfulfilling

Revisado: 05-01-15

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No. It was an interesting plot, but it was not developed enough and the characters were flat.

Would you be willing to try another book from Murray McDonald? Why or why not?

Maybe, if he were to work on developing the story more.

How could the performance have been better?

I did not like the narrator. There did not seam to be enough change in his voice from one character to the other. There were times I was not sure who was speaking.

Great short story!

Revisado: 11-06-12

Any additional comments?

All the voices in his head make him a genius.
I hope Sanderson developes this character into a long series.

A Great Novel

Revisado: 08-04-12

I have listened to this version of the novel three times. George Guidall does a great job of narrating this book. The characters are interesting and you pick up a little history in the process (but I am not sure about the accuracy of the history.)

One of the Best Series of All Time

Revisado: 08-04-12

This the first of a very long series of books. As of this writing, we are waiting on the final book of the series, number 14 (15 if you include the prequel). It is a great story, a big story, and a deep story. Before the final book, the entire series is nearly 420 hours long (wikipedia) and worth every bit of time you put in. I would reread the series before each new book came out and now listening to it for the third time. Does it drag at time, sure. But most of the time it is fun or exciting.

If you like Woz you are going to like this book

Revisado: 08-04-12

As you listen to this book, you can really here the voice of Woz coming through. Not only because the reader sounds a lot like him, but because it is written the way he talks.

Great history

Revisado: 08-04-12

This is a well written history of the Lewis and Clark expedition. I remember studying a little about them, but this gives a solid understanding of, not only what they did, but what they had to endure. He gives a lot of the back story of the journey, which at times gets a little bogged down. It is a non-fiction book, so it is not always fun and exciting, but I found it very interesting.

It was OK

Revisado: 08-04-12

I have listened to other Neal Stephenson books and loved them. This one was ok, and I would not disuade anyone from listening to it, but it was not on par with his other books. At nearly 40 hours, it should have been better.

One of My Favorites

Revisado: 08-04-12

If you could sum up American Gods: The Tenth Anniversary Edition (A Full Cast Production) in three words, what would they be?

You must listen

Any additional comments?

I have listened to the original version of this three times and it never gets old. It is a great story.

Couldn't Finish It

Revisado: 06-22-10

I have read a few of King's book and have enjoyed them but this one was so bad I could not finish it. I got through part 2 of 5 and turned it off. The characters seemed to be trite, predictable, and extreme. The language used was profane to an extreme to me. This does not usually offend me when used in the correct context but it seemed to excessive.
