Historia
All her life, Spensa has dreamed of becoming a pilot. Of proving she's a hero like her father. She made it to the sky, but the truths she learned about her father were crushing. The rumors of his cowardice are true - he deserted his flight during battle against the Krell. Worse, though, he turned against his team and attacked them.

Great Book with Plot Issues
Revisado: 09-27-20
This is an exciting listen. The action is there, and the main character Spensa makes you feel what she feels. You root for her, especially when she faces insurmountable dire situations.
For me, the issue is the plot. Spensa bounces between Starsight and her home planet on a mission to steal hyperdrive technology. Along the way, she becomes entangled in a political mess, but it just feels like too much. The story and Spensa’s mission changes too frequently and too much happens in a short amount of time. I believe Spensa spends just two weeks on Starsight before returning home. Those two weeks make up most of the book.
Overall, I love Spensa and look forward to the next book(s). I recommend the entire collection thus far.

Historia
When Apollo Kagwa's father disappeared, all he left his son were strange recurring dreams and a box of books stamped with the word improbabilia. Now Apollo is a father himself - and as he and his wife, Emma, are settling into their new lives as parents, exhaustion and anxiety start to take their toll. Apollo's old dreams return and Emma begins acting odd.

A Fascinating Tale with a Dash of Eerie
Revisado: 03-12-20
Going into this story, I didn't have much hope for it, because I prefer science fiction. However, this story is worth every cent. It is a complex story written by an author who used unwavering restraint in unravelling this tale. It is both creepy and intriguing.
The author should have hired a narrator other than himself. He speaks slowly and with no enthusiasm.
Other than the narrator, great work.

Historia
Ralph Elllison's Invisible Man is a monumental novel, one that can well be called an epic of modern American Negro life. It is a strange story, in which many extraordinary things happen, some of them shocking and brutal, some of them pitiful and touching—yet always with elements of comedy and irony and burlesque that appear in unexpected places. It is a book that has a great deal to say and which is destined to have a great deal said about it.

A Riveting Tale of Racial Societal Pressure
Revisado: 03-11-20
On top of having a very talented narrator with a range of voices, the story itself is a comment on the complexities of Black identity and what it means to be a Black man in a white man's world. From exposing the detrimental nature of racism on the Black man to putting center stage Black characters with with a crab-in-a-bucket mentality, the author weaves together a tale eerily real in its unveiling. I would recommend listening to this book twice - once for society and once for yourself.

A Great and Intriguing Listen
Revisado: 11-07-19
The story is narrated in a range of voices and kept me interested. The story itself is hilarious and engaging, covering serious topics like sexism but from a tongue-in-cheek ironic perspective. I highly recommend it.

Good Story, Average Performers
Revisado: 10-01-19
The story is deep, and it makes you think. The male narrator sounded too cheery or something. I didn't like how he read. The best narrator was the one of Mama Day. The story is worth reading.

Terrible Story with Overused Words
Revisado: 07-26-19
I love Simon Vance, but this book overused the words "impossible" and "disbelief." The Arch Wizard is a dunce, and the story is confusing and anticlimactic. I hate this saga.

This book was okay. I did not like the fact that the narrator was omnipresent and knew everything that every character was feeling and thinking. The listner was not left with enough room to make his own conclusions.
