Change is hard

Revisado: 12-09-24

It’s difficult when a narrator changes midway through a series. However, what made this listen exceedingly difficult at times is that the new narrator mispronounces the main character’s name throughout the entire book. I’m going to give the next book, a listen, and I hope the narrator gets the character name right this time.

Best worst

Revisado: 11-01-24

I love this series and this was, I think, the best worst of the lot. There’s a lot there that I really liked, but the main thrust of the story was not what I was hoping for. Even so, I’m looking forward to where things go from here.

Grounded anti-fash world building

Revisado: 03-02-24

I like so much about this story. However, it’s not going to be for everyone. If you as a little fashy or think GamerGate was the most important thing to come along, you’re going to miss enjoying the story because the main character’s experience turns on his practical materialism and collective approach to suffering in the story’s world.

If you want a story about how Chad McBro freely chose to bootstrap his grind-mindset into riches and women he secretly resents, this isn’t going to be a story you will enjoy. If you think it’s a practical worldview to be skeptical, driven and compassionate because one’s material conditions define one’s available choices, you’ll enjoy how this character makes his way through seemingly impossible situations with the mirth and snark of a yoda character.

Fun story and hours of entertainment!

Great story, terrible editor.

Revisado: 09-14-23

The author and the reader are amazing, as always! However, this is not a properly edited file, and there are many, many reader errors that should have been edited out. The lack of proper editing the tracks significantly from this audiobook. It’s really quite disappointing that such a good book and such a good performance was ruined by an editor’s indifference to a finished product.

Rich and engaging

Revisado: 09-20-18

I've been a member for a number of years now and this is perhaps the best audiobook I've heard. The performance is absolutely perfect and the storytelling in this book is rich, enveloping, and completely satisfying.

No his best

Revisado: 11-22-17

This feels like this must be one of his first works. The pacing is stutters, doesn't flow, and feels contrived. It's a very different experience than his other (very fun & enjoyable) work.

Great story, horrid edits and narration

Revisado: 07-09-15

The story is good and the narrator's voice is perfect. What isn't so good is the parts where the narrator recorded sections of the book with a nose cold and the MANY very bad edits: sentences cut off, mistakes that weren't edited out where the narrator makes a mistake, shouts "bluh!" and restarts the sentence.
