Good in a different sort of way

Revisado: 01-27-25

It is strange to listen to two stories in one book, but there you have it. One story is hard to call science fiction at all, it reads like a "this is my life" sort of story. Nothing much usual going on in that story, though I would like to know the power source for the long run as it seemed a little out of reach of the rig, that might be science fiction. But all that is a quibble the story was well told, the author can write well and told a good tale about an unusual life. The science fiction story is good, not as good as the way it is accepted in the book but still an ok story.

The mix of the two produces a good book. Worth the read.

OK but simplistic and predictable.

An OK listen. Good speaker with nice delivery. However the story and the characters were so stereotyped as to be completely predictable. Somewhat of a popcorn book. Tasty and fluffy but no real content. No, I will not be coming back for more.

For me amazing, I stopped reading it.

Mr. Gaiman is without a doubt one of my very favorite authors. Normally I adore his work and yet with this piece I flat stopped reading it and will not finish it ever.

Why?

I will not say so much as to tip the story but those who have read it should be able to follow. When I have the main character making the same mistake of trust and forgiveness for the third time to again surely lead them and their loved one into more terrible things I must believe this character is a complete walking moron without one lick of even the most based metal ability. I do not care to read stories of fools stumbling along making the most obvious of bad decisions no matter how necessary to the story, stupid is not a favorite of mine.

I closed the book and will not reopen it.

Like junk food, somewhat tasty but nothing really

Pretty easy to guess plot. Pretty standard story line. Some contradictions within the story but some what minor. Characters shallow and simple, cut from standard cloth with the standard pattern. If you want a simple little guy against all odds story this is it one, but expect no more than that.

Another excellent novel from the hand of a powerful story teller. Deep believable characters, horizon spanning story line. A very good work.

I liked it. A good reader and interesting story line. Some small quibbles with the author as far as plausibility, but they are small quibbles.

Excellent hard core science fiction. Good diverse characters,

Mixed opinion

Revisado: 04-06-20

Well written. Well performed. Depressing. I actual did not finish it, could not. We are in bleak times and this at least started out as a very bleak book. No idea were it goes, just could not stay with it.

I thought it was a quality product, just not for me.

Not good, not worth it.

Revisado: 04-06-20

Shallow plot. Junk recording.
Superficial bragging as the author talked his super hero alter ego around the room. Predicable, no depth, basic space guy with big gun and some girl involved. Capable of winning every fight all the time. Bla Bla Bla.

Not worth it.

Hey author! Buy some recording gear that makes it so that you do not sound like you are sitting in a hard linoleum room. Even the sound quality was poor.

Could not finish.

Hated it.

If I hear "waiting for the drop" one more time I will puke. It was like listening to a record skip.
