Disappointing

Revisado: 01-29-23

How can a guy who writes such engrossing dialog spoil the whole thing by making his conspiricists so ludicrous? It's like he's marinading a hot dog.

Dennis E. Taylor has been an instant "buy" for me: until now.

Way to squander the success of the first book!

Revisado: 01-25-22

Couldn't finish this second book, even with the excellent narration.

It wasn't as bad as getting so much spam from a company that you eventually regret placing your initial order with them: but it ain't far off....

“Matthew?” Sure….

Revisado: 09-06-21

This is a great read if you fantasize about LARPing feminist tropes.

“Matthew’s” women’s studies degree vandalizes an otherwise decent story.

Mixed Blessing

Revisado: 01-07-19

Be aware, the cast of characters are an infantile SJW wet dream. If you can get beyond that, the writing is good and Ray Porter maintains his position as my number one, favorite narrator.

JM is obviously trying to woo Hollywood with his stories these days, but hasn’t seemed to notice Hollywood is progressively alienating its customer base.

Time for JM to close out Joe Ledger

Revisado: 12-01-18

Unfortunately, the DMS and Joe Ledger are getting tired.

Incessant references to already written stories, peppered with Maberry’s own obviously growing “sophistication,” and passion for making sure his story checks all the right boxes are making Captain Ledger someone I just don’t care about anymore.

It’s been a fun ride, but I think this is my stop.

More multi-culty dreck

Revisado: 02-06-16

What would have made United States of Jihad better?

Not opening with the absurd equivalence of a murdered abortion doctor to ISIS's predations.

Would you ever listen to anything by Peter Bergen again?

Doubtful

Starts with the Life of Mohammed: you do the math

Revisado: 09-05-13

What disappointed you about A Concise History of the Arabs?

Might have well been "A Concise History of the Trayvon Martin Case" by Rev. Al Sharpton.

What could John McHugo have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

I found his sanctimonious preface particularly noteworthy.

An audio version of a soup can label.

What disappointed you about Logically Fallacious: The Ultimate Collection of Over 300 Logical Fallacies?

I was most disappointed to find this book was more of a catalog than something that works well in the audio format. A series of quasi-connected bullet-points does NOT make for a good listen.

Would you ever listen to anything by Bo Bennett again?

Not a chance. It quickly becomes apparent Mr. Bennett is a student of the subject, not a master. He has studied logic as a means to an end, not an end in itself.

Case in point: while describing the

How could the performance have been better?

I found the affected accents for the straw men Mr. Bennett used for a foil particularly offensive.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I felt cheated. There is nothing here I could not have found on my own for free on the Internet. There is neither a interesting presentation of the material, nor is there any compelling reason to favor Mr. Bennett's presentation of the material.

Any additional comments?

NEVER buy an audiobook before listening to the excerpt. Excitement over the subject has disappointed me more often than not.

Preppers stay away!

Revisado: 06-20-11

Total "not what the blurb described." This is actually a travelogue for places to bug out to, and not a particularly good one either.

Not only is it useless, but further, it commits the unpardonable sin of being BORING!

OMG do I wish I had my credit back.

Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me)

Revisado: 08-20-10

Good book if you want to be defrauded of a credit. It's advertised as a study of a peculiar human psychological phenomena, but is actually nothing but a tendentious screed.
