Great performance!

I’ve always been a fan of fellow Canadian Robert Sawyer. I’m glad to see he’s still writing good work, and performances were fantastic. Brendan Fraser!

Just like the TV show sliders, but not as good….

Revisado: 01-04-25

…..and that’s saying something.
So, I figure he really liked quantum leap and sliders and wanted to put them together into some world jumping series. Warning, it is a series of books…. Maybe. Maybe he realised he was just copying sliders and realised without Jerry O’Connell there’s no point.

He is the king, of writing.

Revisado: 12-14-24

Needfull things is not his strongest book. I have no idea why he wants to narrate his own stories. Sounds like he’s doing it in his basement. I can picture him pressing play on a Toshiba tape recorder so we can all enjoy that very awkward music

Greatest writer ever though.

We should have a national holiday to commemorate the terrible treatment of vampires everywhere.

Revisado: 11-30-24

The book is okay. But honestly, I don’t know how I feel about equating the undead with the plight of native Americans…..
Optically, I’m just not sure it would read the way the author would’ve hoped for.

Brings me back

Revisado: 11-04-24

I loved playing Call of Cthulhu in high school…. in the 80s. This was so reminiscent of that game that I truly enjoyed the trip. For something that I’m pretty sure is based on a role playing game, and written by people who starred out around a table with their friends, I’m very impressed with how it was written, edited, and performed. I am very happy they decided to elevate those experiences into something we could all enjoy.

Looking for another one from the series right now.

What did I expect… I guess.

Revisado: 05-30-24

I did listen to the whole thing…..

But, to summarize my thoughts, and to give potential listeners a sense of the maturity level of the book, the author spent more time describing the creatures “members“ than describing the creatures themselves.

Great stories, but essentially the same as “Wilderness.“

Revisado: 01-22-24

I’ve come to like this author more and more, especially as I grow older..:: absolutely, nothing wrong with these short stories, some of them are really good, but I thought people should know that if you already have Wilderness, you’re pretty much buying the same book. Only the first one was different…. perhaps for the benefit of the Sample?

My poor review would go to whoever decided to make the first story different, the title of it being “strange highways“ and then make the rest of it a copy of another audiobook.

Please, please do not make this the first one of his contact series that you listen to!

Revisado: 09-02-23

I have liked every one of his standalone first contact books. This was actually the last one of them that I bought. I have listened to all of them. So …. he is good, and I like his stories, and they are sometimes very unique in their perspective. This was definitely not one of them.

His other stories showed us how aliens can have absolutely… alien perspectives. This just felt like that Star Trek episode with the half white half Black down the middle people.

Good thing, Captain Kirk came to the planet to set them straight.

I suppose if this was a movie made in the 70s, and it felt a little like that, the floating brains might’ve been out of their budget. But hell, they would’ve looked funny if they tried.

That being said, I am very happy this was not the first of his books i listened to. I honestly think all the other ones were good.

So I wasn’t going to…, not listen to this one. I like the other ones so much, he still deserve my credit. :)
