Convoluted and boring

Revisado: 04-15-25

Story drags, didnt find funny quit after chapter 20.
Actually found it rather dumb. Not even Scott Brick could save this one. Just my opinion, take it as you will.

Reacher Fan

Revisado: 03-24-25

For me a great story is a story where the main character or characters are interesting or unusual, this story was not that. Jack Reacher is the epitomy of an interesting character, I've read or listentned to all Lee Childs books, if you have also you may be disapointed with this one.

True scifi fans will hate the ending

Revisado: 12-08-24

The very ending goes from scifi to ( spoiler alert) to vampires. I felt cheated by the ending and don't bother with the second book it just continues along that line, and yes I wasted a credit on it. listened for a half hour and just removed it from my library.
One other thing as others have stated the narrator was a bad choice, a British like accent for US characters just doesn't work. I have to admit I'm not fond of British narrators,they all sound like butlers to my ears.

Worth a listen time travel

Revisado: 02-11-24

Worth a listen if you like time travel stories. The virtual voice reader was actually quite good. I've listened to much much worse real life readers. Definitely worth a listen.

Top notch writing

Revisado: 02-06-24

If you like good character development and thought provoking writing this book is for you. If you crave the modern predictable cookie SciFi so common today this book may not be for you. This book has some action but not a lot. It's a long audio book which I like and story develops a bit slowly and I was fine with how it came along. The reader was quite good. It seems like there may be a second book and I look forward to listening that one also. Overall I highly recommend this book if you like good thought provoking writing.

Warning, book ends forces buy of next In series

Revisado: 08-24-23

like my title I really dislike authors that play the leave you hanging making you buy the next book in the series routine. In this case I'm walking away. This book is really a young adult or younger book. Highly predictable and easily predictictable for more sophisticated listeners. That being said it wasn't really a bad book for the age group I mentioned. The narrator was OK but put a man's voice into to some female characters
which was a bit off putting.

gave up on 2nd book

Revisado: 05-11-21

I am not a fantasy fan. last fantasy I read was the Hobbit In 1971 (the only decent read in the whole series, just my opionion). Gave the first book in this sreies a try, struggled threw it and gave up by the third chapter in this book. If this yout thing fine have at it.
Some reviewers say its like a video game,quite true. The reader reads quite quickly and enunciation is rather poor. I had to slow hithe narration down to .85, something I never do. There are better narrators out their.

quit after chap 18

Revisado: 04-22-21

the only thing this book convinced me of is that I am very glad I dont live in a large metro area. The characteters are well portrayed and it reenforced my opinion. quite depressing seeing both rich and poor leading such spiritually vacant lives.
