Historia
The world will end on Saturday. Next Saturday. Just before dinner, according to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing and everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.

insightful as always delightful to hear
Revisado: 03-13-25
spot on narration, beautifully encapsulated the spirit of Gaiman and Pratchett's writing. a funny, pithy, clever take on the origin of man, and the struggle of good versus evil.

Historia
Locked behind bars for three years, Shadow did his time, quietly waiting for the day when he could return to Eagle Point, Indiana. A man no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring, all he wanted was to be with Laura, the wife he deeply loved, and start a new life. But just days before his release, Laura and Shadow's best friend are killed in an accident. With his life in pieces and nothing to keep him tethered, Shadow accepts a job from a beguiling stranger he meets on the way home, an enigmatic man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday.

an epic tale, properly rendered
Revisado: 01-15-25
interesting characters, fabulous dialogue, legendary Legends, and mythical myths. this book greatly impressed me when I read it several years ago and I was glad to see an excellent rendering in this full cast production, along with some very interesting author's notes.

Historia
The Bobiverse is a different place in the aftermath of the Starfleet War, and the days of the Bobs gathering in one big happy moot are far behind. There’s anti-Bob sentiment on multiple planets, the Skippies playing with an AI time bomb, and multiple Bobs just wanting to get away from it all. But it all pales compared to what Icarus and Daedalus discover on their 26,000-year journey to the center of the galaxy.

Great characters, interesting events
Revisado: 10-27-24
in this installment of the Bobiverse, we see the different Bobs that we have grown to love travel the universe in search of information and meaning. While the separated nature of their adventures leads to a less coordinated story, this is a Galaxy spanning adventure.

Historia
Lavan Chitward is a very unhappy young man; pulled away from his country home by his parents' ambitions and resettled in the big city of Haven, he is desperately lonely, bullied and beaten at school, ignored by his parents. It is not surprising that he falls ill - but his illness is the first manifestation of a terrible power, the Gift of the Firestorm, a power which can and does kill. If controlled, the Gift of the Firestorm can save Valdemar, but if it is uncontrolled, it will destroy the country - and him.

Another stunner from Tchaikovsky. following the pathway of a rather interesting perspective in the future of war or just collaboration with man's best friend.

a little slow getting started and never picks up
Revisado: 01-21-23
I was hoping that this novel would be more like slant where a slow start builds to an interesting and more dramatic finish however the story meanders and I found the characters less engaging than the ones from Queen of Angels, slant, or blood music. It was interesting to see what happened with the crew after the destruction of Earth, but it felt like Michael Moore did the sequel to a Roland Emmerich movie.
