I’m sure the story made sense…before 3/4 of it was chopped away ‘abridging’it.

There was so much of the story removed as to make it unintelligible. Anna pigeon is an established character, this mish-mash stripped her of any of her familiar characteristics, what was more disappointing was the pathetic narration. Cindy Williams was worse than marginal. The characters were indistinguishable, the inflection and pacing were just lame. All in all, I really regret spending a credit on this mess.

Typical collaboration fail.

Revisado: 07-06-24

Crichton has always been overly dramatic, and Patterson, finishing the manuscript after Chrichton’s passing, didn’t do any favors to his legacy.
The worst part? Undoubtedly the over the top narration. Everything at a fever level, all the characters seemingly breathless in anticipation of doom.
I wish now I had read the posted reviews before dropping a credit to buy this turkey.

Excellent in every way.

Craig Johnson, George Guidal and Walt Longmire. A truly excellent combination. Guidal brings the series to life, gives voice to the continuing saga of Longmire, and carries you into the stories like an old friend.
These books are more than murder mysteries, they’re loaded with anecdotes, wonderful natural dialogue, and many times, full of incredible humor.
Thanks to all of them!

Good until the end

the story has continued and actually it’s been an enjoyable journey…so far, I’m not so sure of the next book. I suspect it will be my last.

This book is weak

Revisado: 12-05-23

I was willing to give a try, I was out of credits and…oh well, it was free. The characters were, at once, one dimensional and over done. The premise, that an isolated mountain valley suddenly is overrun by bloodthirsty monsters with no forewarning, everybody apparently dead or missing, that the best idea is to go wandering in the wilderness with a shotgun and a handgun, both wielded by firearm rookies…. It beggars disbelief.
The three hours (yes THREE HOURS) I listened I’ll never get back,

A quiet and introspective read

Revisado: 12-03-23

I liked the matter of fact tone and approach to the extraordinary circumstances such happenings would give rise to. The discussions and dialogues all rang very true, although some of the main character’s conclusions seem to be reached and motives settled on sigh precious little evidence.

A good expenditure of the credit. And one s heartily recommend,

Much better than I expected

Revisado: 11-29-23

After reading the other reviews I admit to being somewhat skeptical, but I was pleasantly surprised. This wrapped up the trilogy quite nicely, one good guy dies, two bad guys die, a happy scene at the end…
The Presidents speech…meh…and all the necessary review of the previous two, oh well.
Pinter is a wonderful character, the vagaries of Neanderthal marriages came clear and was a normal development of that society.
Bravo!

Still good

Revisado: 11-28-23

Pinter is a fabulous character, complex, and in many ways, trying.
The dichotomy between the two societies is perhaps insurmountable in the long run.
All in all, the idea is, while not original, still a functional vehicle to carry the plot along. Thankfully only one more in this series, the parallel universe trope will not support it beyond three.

Brendan Fraser!

It started a bit slow, but grew. I was surprised at the denouement, but saw it as really the only way.

Really?

Revisado: 11-07-23

This book, and I must assume, the ensuing books in this series are so cliche. I tried to let it go, but when they started glibly talking about time and distances in the outer solar system like they were heading over to Walmart and while on the way maybe stopping of at the grocery store on the way.
I made it to chapter 5, 5 too many.
The narrator is marginal at best.if I had paid real money for this I’d be livid.
Save your time.
