Well suited narration. Sounds soothing like a nature documentary. Fascinating glimpse into the secret life of trees.

Enjoyable and fun. Perfect for the story of how Tanis and Flint were introduced to Tasslehoff.

Sci fi bliss - unique setting

Revisado: 01-29-20

I almost stopped listening to this audiobook, and boy that would have been a mistake. It combines futuristic nano-technology complete with aliens, set in a post-apocalyptic America. Not your typical genre but as a sci-fi fan I felt it was a new twist, at least for me. I ended up loving the incorporation of nano-technology, which the author took in some unexpected and unique ways. She did some great world-building, leaving enough hints that has me wanting to learn more about what brought the world to this place and where it and the characters are going.

Extremely useful

Revisado: 09-20-16

This has been an extremely useful read/listen. The lectures start from the basics, and work their way through exactly how communication works. This is useful for anyone who wants to learn how to better communicate with others, be it their neighbor, spouse, co-worker, or that crazy Trump supporter down the street (well, maybe it won't work for the last one...).

superbly executed horror

Revisado: 07-15-16

Any additional comments?

I've always heard great things about this book, and I can see why. King's ability to write horror, without sounding campy, is key. Not really a ground-breaking story, but superbly executed. The narrator also did a superb job, making me jump out of my seat with how emphatic he was at certain key moments. Well done!

Great information - just too much of it!

Revisado: 06-14-16

This is a very in depth book on stress. You will leave it knowing the precise chemical and neurological responses caused by stress and their impacts on the body. Unfortunately, it was really too much information for me. I would recommend listening to an abridged version.

Glad I stuck with it

Revisado: 05-20-16

I almost stopped reading this, but I'm glad I stuck with it. It starts off as a Sci first space adventure, but this is only setting up the real story. The real story is more of a drama about essentially a diplomat on an alien world, with a lot of internal monologs. This tends to really bog down the story at times, but after finishing the book I can see why the author did that. It helped to build the character, and really set the atmosphere and stage upon which the main character, and those he represents and negotiates with, quite well. This story is really more about relationships and drama than it is action or ships. And as I've hinted at, it really picks up at the end. So in many ways, the stage has been set, and I am intrigued as to where the story and characters go from here.

The battles rages on

Revisado: 05-13-16

I'm still intrigued enough with the overall story, and the naval/infantry warfare history to continue this series. It isn't always the most exciting, and I feel some of the characters don't get enough attention, but I still really enjoyed it, and it's still absolutely fascinating to read and learn.

Hooked

Revisado: 12-19-15

This was my first Orson Scott Card book. And bottom line, I can't wait to read (or listen) to the next book in the series (and I mean that literally, as I've already started listening to the next one) . The voice acting was well done and very well cast, and certainly enhanced my enjoyment. However, it's the story, it's setting, and its many twists that I really found intriguing. I also appreciated the social commentary that seems to be present. It'll be interesting to see how that turns out as well.
