Scalzi does it again

Revisado: 07-21-24

John Scalzi has a twisted mind that looks at world events, sees where we’re headed, then tweaks things just enough that you said, “Pfft! That could never happen.” Then it happens. Not quite like he writes it, but close enough to make you wonder what ELSE he knows.

Teddy Roosevelt Riding a White Rhino Down 5th Avenue

Revisado: 03-16-24

The further adventures of Smith and April Malone includes many improbable elements, including the Rough Rider himself, all woven together to create a story that kept me engaged through two airports in a cross country journey. Definitely worth the listen, and even better than the first book!

So much torture and pain

Revisado: 02-17-23

I really enjoyed the TV series and some of Crouch’s other work, so I was excited to listen to the book. Midway through chapter 17 and the story got so dark I tried to return the book. But it’s been more than three days, so I’m stuck with it. I’ll try slipping past the yucky stuff. If the story gets better, with less killing and torture, I’ll edit this review.

I couldn’t stop listening

Revisado: 10-08-21

I started this book because it seemed like it would be cute and funny. I mean, a haunted big box store? And I’ve been a Bronson Pinchot fan since “Perfect Strangers”. I was all set for a story I could pick up and put down, listen to around other books. What I got was a cute and funny horror story with just enough suspense and energy to keep me listening all night. One of the marks of a good book is how much you think about it afterward. I’ll be thinking about penitents and “the chair” all day at work tomorrow. That is, if I can get to sleep tonight.

Definitely worth the listen

Revisado: 10-02-21

John Scalzi is a master at creating worlds and making things all fit together. In Metatropolis, he and four other world builders take us to the not-too-distant future where our consumption-based economy has turned the world upside down and people and finding new ways to thrive and survive. It’s an incredibly hopeful vision of an almost post-apocalyptic world.

Please re-record!

Revisado: 05-16-21

This is a great story, but it’s really hard to listen to. The narrator does a good job when reading in the characters’ voices, but reads every sentence in the rest of the story in exactly the same cadence. It’s monotonous and distracts from the story. Some of his previous performances were much better, some were just as bad. This story deserves a narrator as engaging as the characters.

A great read

Revisado: 04-04-21

What if you could revisit your decisions? Choose the red pill instead of the blue, the left path instead of the right? Dennis E. Taylor packs a huge amount of story telling into this thirty minute gem, definitely worth adding to your library.

The word is pronounced “klooj” and is a lot more common than you might realize. Thanks for spelling it so we knew what you were talking about.

Don't Buy This Book

Revisado: 02-08-21

This is a fun story and a great follow up to the novella, but both books are included in "Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds". You'll enjoy this, buy the next one, and then kick yourself for not realizing you could have saved the credit for all three.

Don't purchase this

Revisado: 02-08-21

This is a fun story and a great introduction to the Stephen Leeds books. But this story and "Skin Deep" are included in "Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds". You'll enjoy this, buy the next one, and then kick yourself for not realizing you could have saved the credit for all three.
