I don't understand the good reviews

Revisado: 05-03-19

I got halfway through and I just couldn't listen to this woman complain anymore. I didn't like her or feel sorry for her or want to be a part of her world. I gave it a good solid four hours, but I have to return it - I don't care what happens to her.

Great Book - but there is one big drawback

Revisado: 03-09-19

POSSIBLE SPOILER ABOUT MISSING CHAPTER - The book is a great story and I really enjoyed it until the last chapter. It does not have an ending. Instead of telling us how things turn out, the author comes on and basically says she couldn't decide how to end it and that she wanted to leave it to the reader to contemplate. That was frustrating for me. It is still worth reading and I didn't return it, but I can't say I wasn't disappointed.

Not for me - Wanted to love it but so whiny

Revisado: 12-17-18

The main characters are just too one dimensional for me - ditzy and whiny. I tried three time to get through the whole thing but finally gave up and requested a refund.

Love dogs but just could not make it through this!

Revisado: 06-08-17

This book, at least the first eleven chapters is written from a puppy's point of view. It reads like a children's book. I tried to make it through, I really did, and I kept hoping a sense of maturity would kick in as the story progressed and the dog got older, but I just couldn't take it anymore after eleven chapters - listening to the dog's reasoning on why he tore up things in the kitchen after being left alone for 22 minutes was the last straw for me. It was cute, but not for hours on end. I am returning this title. Don't think of less of me as I really do love dogs and a good dog story, but this was just too juvenile for me.

Very repetitive and didn't seem insightful

Revisado: 04-14-17

I wound up returning because I did not find this book very helpful and it was quite repetitive.

I am one of the very few who hated this book

Revisado: 10-16-16

I so wanted to like this book. Every one seems to like this book. I listened for four hours and I just couldn't do it anymore. I didn't like these women, One was an alcoholic and the other some type of bi polar narcissist. Maybe they redeem themselves in the book later on, but for the hours I listened, I didn't care what happened to either of them. The mystery couldn't hook me because I had no interest in what happened to either of these self obsessed people. I am returning it knowing that I missed out on the ending of a book so many people found fascinating and wondering what is wrong with me that I just couldn't make it through.

I don't understand the great ratings

Revisado: 04-26-16

I really wanted to like this book. I put in 2.5 hours hoping it would get better and that I would find a way to like this character and the weird style of the narrative, but I just didn't like it. I really don't understand the great ratings. I must be missing something - maybe it improves with more hours in....

This short book repeats a lot of the first book

Revisado: 11-11-15

In an effort to standalone, this short book spends a lot of time repeating the events of the last book and explaining who the main character's friends are and where they come from, etc. So, there isn't actually all that much new story to it. The new story is ok, but it seems like it was almost an afterthought and that the purpose of the book was to reintroduce all the prior characters and introduce one new witch character.

Not as well plotted as the other Scalzi books

Revisado: 10-13-15

Maybe I am being unfair because I am comparing this to Scalzi's other novels, especially Old Man's War, Agent to the Stars and Lock In, but this one didn't seem as well plotted and I didn't get to know the characters enough to really care about them in the long run. Still entertaining, but it isn't one I would really recommend unless you are particularly interested in Star Trek perhaps. Wheaton is a great narrator, even though the material here wasn't as good as the other Scalzi books he has narrated.

Fun story with good narrator

Revisado: 10-12-15

I liked this book the best of the series. It was a fun ride is the best way I can explain it. This is relatively light reading, but the characters are well drawn and there is enough humor to keep the macabre in check.
