Lacking Research

Revisado: 08-19-22

It’s frustrating to listen to or to read books that are set in Europe with European characters but are written with American mannerisms, habits and language traits, it’s lazy.
I also did not get invested in the main character either, to the point where I didn’t care if he lived or died in the end. He had so few redeeming characteristics.

What’s god got to do with it?

Revisado: 09-15-21

Although I enjoyed this book and love John lees reading style, it does grate on me that Peter Hamilton insists on bringing a divine creator into his stories. Its distracting and the one element that makes me want to classify his books more in the fantasy section rather than science fiction.

This can’t be the end!!

Revisado: 07-10-21

I had never enjoyed fantasy before listening to these books, TGR brings Correia’s books to life like no other.
I love the characters, the setting, the consistency throughout the books.
The geographical references are so descriptive and clearly defined, I can almost imagine being able to navigate the world of Lok myself.
I really hope there will be a fourth part to this trilogy ;-)

Get off the ground already

Revisado: 06-17-21

The last half of the book could have been said in a chapter. Clean the damn ship already and get going.

Laboured

Revisado: 05-24-21

A little slow, repetitive and gung-ho. I can’t imagine the dialogue between such high ranking people to be so basic in situation of such high stakes. The reader was a bit monotonous for what was already a fairly dry book.

Good story well read ruined by massage music

Revisado: 04-25-21

The story is nearly unlistenable due to the noise pollution in the background. It’s very distracting. I really enjoyed the first 5 books in the series but I had to return book 6 due to the sound effects and odd production. This one is better but would be excellent without the noises and Thai massage music in the background.

Long winded monologue

Revisado: 02-03-21

Far too much explanation and not enough mystery also the use of “me” as opposed to “I “ or “one” just seemed to drag the quality down too much for a period drama. Respect where it’s due, A tough choice to follow on from Agatha Christie, nevertheless I found myself skipping forward to get through the monologue.

Intricate

Revisado: 10-28-20

I’ve listened 5 times, perhaps more. Every time something new is revealed. It’s a great start to a truly intrepid and intriguing series read by a fabulous actor.

Down to earth and gripping.

Revisado: 07-18-19

Despite the predictable ending I found myself gripped and wanting to listen without missing any part of the story. The reader has a flexible voice and has a mastery of northern British accents.
My only criticism (and most American writers do this) is that, despite the book being set in Britain and read by a British actress, Americanisms (mostly nouns) permeate the book throughout which suddenly remind one that it’s just fiction.

Enthralling

Revisado: 06-24-19

I love these characters and the story behind each of them. Reynolds tends to stick within the laws of physics which turned me on to him in the first place and has kept me a fan despite the odd breach here and there! John lee’s reading of this keeps one wanting more and it’s easy to get sucked into the adventure. I’ve listened to the revelation space series at least 4 times and get something out of every time!
