Lots of information from a robotic narrator

Revisado: 11-13-24

I struggled with this listen because the narration was so robotic in nature it was really hard to truly listen to and enjoy the content. The book is helpful and I’ll look into following the author for more tips.

Far fall from Fantasticland

Revisado: 08-08-23

Fantasticland was so clever, captivating and creative, it’s easy to understand that it will be a difficult book for Bockoven to top, but this book was so disappointing it’s hard to believe the same author even wrote it. Why a comedy bar when he so obviously isn’t a comedian?? I didn’t laugh once throughout the entire book. The narrator was horrible, the jokes weren’t funny, the “humor” was painful to listen to. I was so looking forward to this book. I’ll definitely wait a while and actually consider the reviews before I use a credit on his next book.

Cringe

Revisado: 08-03-23

The continuous hinting at incest and child abuse wasn’t necessary. Why did the author include the scene of the protagonist and her son? What was the point of that??

Incredibly Boring

Revisado: 01-31-23

Even for a love story this was a BORE. Nearly a smut book but the sex scenes were too spaced out to even call it that. The storyline was weak and dragged. I tried to grit and bear it but it became too painful. I called it quits about 2/3 in and read online cliff notes with spoilers to see how it ended. Grateful I didn’t finish, I didn’t miss anything. I already preordered her next release and I’m really nervous I might’ve made a mistake.

Disappointing

Revisado: 09-17-22

I was really into the beginning of the book - there was so much potential despite the annoying, panicky narration. Unfortunately, this plot takes one of those ridiculous turns that makes you want to slap everyone multiple times. Hesitant to give this author another try.

Eh

Revisado: 11-10-21

Overall, I did enjoy the book, but like many other reviews, I don’t understand the author’s insistence on including peer rape in the book? Perhaps he was trying to set up an explanation of Beth’s addictions throughout her youth but she had plenty of trauma that justified her vices. Also - pretty sure it takes more than a few months in the gym to overcome addiction. The author seemed to want to approach the topic of childhood trauma and the results of that but leaves much to be desired.

Take a shot every time she says...

Revisado: 11-03-20

“Normal”, “Context”, “Accelerator”, “Brakes”.

Who is this woman’s editor? Why didn’t anyone tell her she was essentially saying the same few sentences a few hundred times?? You could listen to the first 3 chapters if you want information that might be novel. Besides that it’s really - boring... Towards the middle to end of the book I started skipping chapters to find new content. Alas! She was always talking about the same few topics - context, accelerator, brakes, and how normal everyone is. What a waste of Credit.
