Andrew

Should have been titled Thrawn and Pryce

Revisado: 12-31-17

Would you try another book from Timothy Zahn and/or Marc Thompson?

Love Zahn's work, he is a great writer. This book though, has too much about Arihnda Pryce. Should have had a companion novel/novella on her rise perhaps?

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Thrawn bringing himself to the attention of the Empire was most interesting. How Pryce rose to power, least interesting.

Any additional comments?

Loved the Thrawn character from the original (now Legends trilogy). Needed more of him, in a book that is titled Thrawn. Arihnda Pryce is interesting in her own right, and deserved her own story.

Where does The Great Good Thing rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top 5

What did you like best about this story?

All of it.

What does Andrew Klavan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The voice of the great author was very easy on the ears.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

His first Christmas with Mina.

Any additional comments?

Simply an excellent real-life tale as told by the man who lived it. Inspiring to the point that I am pondering a return to my own Christian faith.

What did you love best about History's Greatest Voyages of Exploration?

Knowledge, facts, and more knowledge. Spectacular.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Professor Vejas Gabriel Liulevicius?

Yes, though I would hope he stutters less. He was still great, but I found it distracting sometimes.

A great add to the Star Wars canon!

Would you listen to Star Wars: Darth Plagueis again? Why?

Yes. Just for Daniel Davis alone

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

If you only knew the power of the Dark Side.

Any additional comments?

A bit slow at items, and a little to deep into the political side and; the further explanation of medichlorians was not something I needed from the Star Wars universe.

That being said, the book was written well, and Daniel Davis's performance was unbelievable. He brought the characters to life like no other I have have ever heard.

More of a personal story....

Revisado: 03-29-15

Great personal story of an abandoned child's search for his biological family. The evidence and motive presented that his father was the Zodiac, though interesting, was not overly convincing.

Narration a bit week, story a bit brisk

Revisado: 02-27-15

Narrator could have been better. Got annoyed when he was 'quoting'.

Should have been a bit longer. The story jumped ahead a bit too fast, leaving many holes. I wished for more detail regarding Marty Friedman and 'Juniors' exit.

All in all a good listen though.

Reads like a fictional novel.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was annoyed, enthralled, and did cry when the book got to the descriptions of how the cancer had ravaged his body at the end.

Bored me to death

Revisado: 11-07-13

What disappointed you about The Third Terrorist?

Chiefly, the narrator. The way he changed voices just drove me nuts. The writing was at best; average.

Would you ever listen to anything by Jayna Davis again?

NO!

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

None that I could see, did not finish it - just bored me.

Any additional comments?

Thought this would be a compelling book, based on what I had read about it. It was not. I still believe that there is more to this story, but I did not have the patience to go all the way through this title to learn more.

A brilliant examination!

Revisado: 03-26-13

Would you listen to The Secret Knowledge again? Why?

I must admit, I was reticent to download this book when it popped-up as a recommendation on my feed. How could a legendary script writer and playwright (and recently converted conservative) pull off a political book? Well he does, and at the end of the book, Mamet explains why he tackled the project.

The book shows him to be the wordsmith, that I guess should be expected from such man that has toiled with words for more than four decades.

His insights are vast, his examination of of issues; thought provoking throughout.

A great listen, and a good starting point for anyone that has recently left the 'tolerant', progressive herd.

Heller's naration was top- notch. His pauses, and emphasis' were on cue.

Will certainly listen fully through again in the near future.

If you could give The Secret Knowledge a new subtitle, what would it be?

My journey from the dark-side of the 'tolerant'
