Historia
Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a horrific accident when he was seven, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. When Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from that shed.

Great story but lots of unnecessary language
Revisado: 09-14-22
I loved the story but why, oh why does King love to throw in gratuitous language? I mean lots of needless G** Da** lots of F***. I have no doubt this book will get high praise and reviews but it could have been perfect without that language.

Historia
New York Times best-selling author Kim Stanley Robinson returns with a bold and brilliant vision of New York City in the next century. As the sea levels rose, every street became a canal. Every skyscraper an island. For the residents of one apartment building in Madison Square, however, New York in the year 2140 is far from a drowned city. There is the market trader, who finds opportunities where others find trouble. There is the detective, whose work will never disappear—along with the lawyers, of course.

The rising flood of a leftist wishlist drowned me
Revisado: 09-22-21
If you’re a progressive who believes that Al Gore invented the internet you’re sure to love this book. I was ready for a post apocalyptic book with a fun premise. Instead, what I got (and couldn’t finish) was a commercial for LifeStraw, a leftist politics primer and a flood of daydreams about the day that the world could become a communist utopia. I might have tried to finish the book but the amount of acid that accumulated as a result of repeatedly gagging ended the adventure early for me. Skip the book and go watch CNN.

Historia
It is only when the bones of its prey are discovered in a remote Scottish glen that the majesty and power of one of nature’s most successful predators is truly revealed. As it strikes silently from the shadows and on nights shrouded in darkness, a small village falls under siege to a remarkable creature. For thousands of years mankind has had the upper hand but now - suddenly, violently, bloodily - the balance of power has shifted.

It wasn’t great writing and there weren’t any surprises. I think I had everything figured out in the first couple of hours. Don’t waste a credit.

Historia
Since she was nine years old, Alina Dziak knew she would marry her best friend, Tomasz. Now 15 and engaged, Alina is unconcerned by reports of Nazi soldiers at the Polish border, believing her neighbors that they pose no real threat, and dreams instead of the day Tomasz returns from college in Warsaw so they can be married. But little by little, injustice by brutal injustice, the Nazi occupation takes hold, and Alina’s tiny rural village, its families, are divided by fear and hate. Then, as the fabric of their lives is slowly picked apart, Tomasz disappears.

What a heartbreak war is. Well written, relatable and very touching. I loved it. I’m not a cryer but found myself emotional at the end.

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Historia
Welcome to Sunder City. The magic is gone, but the monsters remain. I'm Fetch Phillips, just like it says on the window. There are a few things you should know before you hire me: 1. Sobriety costs extra. 2. My services are confidential. 3. I don't work for humans. It's nothing personal - I'm human myself. But after what happened, to the magic, it's not the humans who need my help.

Story was Meh but the author makes a good narrator
Revisado: 08-01-20
I didn’t love the book. Very average at best. I did enjoy the narration, however. The author wrote and read the book. I’d listen to more and if doesn’t make it as a writer he should be a professional narrator.

Historia
Every life reaches that crucial intersection, the place where you must choose your fate, or have it chosen for you. For best-selling author Rich Cohen (The Fish That Ate the Whale, The Last Pirate of New York), it came in a writing workshop senior year in college, when, at 17, he had to knuckle under to a ruthless professor or make a righteous, self-defeating stand.

Historia
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Slow first half. Second was much better
Revisado: 07-07-20
I quit this book twice. The first half was so slow, so full of detail that board me I couldn’t keep reading. I kept coming back though and it finally got good. Good enough, in fact, that I might even buy the second book. It turned out to be more humerus than I anticipated and more enjoyable too. RC Bray is an awesome narrator and it was probably his ability to share a story that kept me interested.

When you discover the world is a computer program, and you figure out that by altering the code you can time travel and perform acts that seem like magic, what can possibly go wrong? Pretty much everything. Just ask Brit, who has jumped around in time with such abandon that she has to coexist with multiple versions of herself. Now, Brit the Elder finds that her memories don't match Brit the Younger's.

The series is getting tired
Revisado: 05-24-20
I absolutely loved the first book in this series. Sadly, the quality or writing and depth of story decreases with each volume. My kids begged me for this most recent installment but this will be it for me...despite the cliff hanger ending.
Scott, I look forward to other, new and fresh tales. You’re a talented writer so I’m sure there are some more stories you’re ready to tell.

Quite enjoyable
Revisado: 04-13-20
This book has the folksiness of “Where the RedFern Grows and the narrator’s wistful tones bring the story alive. Listening to a good story with a masterful narrator felt like reliving my own childhood with an adult mind. I’m no mathematician or scientist so the technical parts of the book held no baring for me. If I were, maybe I would feel different and couldn’t overcome the shortfalls.
Taken as as a good story with good storytelling I would recommend this book.
