I enjoyed his book.

Revisado: 07-14-23

This is a very enjoyable book. Octopuses are very intelligent and people are very adept at complicating their lives in the name of doing the right thing. The story was well told from differing points of view which arrived at a satisfying ending.

Lois McMaster Bujold

Revisado: 05-28-21

Her name says it all. I have read this story thrice and listened to it twice. Each time has been like the first time in its generation of all the feelings. I know I will read/listen to this novella (and the series) again whenever I need comfort. Some folks have comfort food, I have comfort Authors and Readers

Wrong Audience

Revisado: 05-07-19

Ms. Rosenberg's voice is very young sounding and did not bestow I.Q. points on the two main female characters. Both of them did amazingly stupid things for "love" (read self interest). Neither were very bright, both had no clue about cause and effect, nor ever heard of self preservation.
1. If you start your marriage based on a lie of omission, don't be surprised if it causes your partner to feel betrayed.
2. If you agree to marry someone, don't feel that you can freely upgrade at any time without repercussions.
3. You are prey, deal with it.

A Tad Sad

Revisado: 07-29-18

Parts were very good. But, I find it sad if I'm the one internally yelling the answers to what Gideon is confused about. He's the one who is supposed to be the detective.

I loved Emily.

I found that I liked reading the print version much better than the audio version. For me, the reader was way to happy voiced in places that shouldn't have been - unless one is gloating.

Eh!

I am not the target audience and so didn't buy into parts of the story.

Not what I thought

Revisado: 07-25-17

I would have preferred if the book were written in a linear style. It is more a stream of consciousness skipping around a timeline being distracted by anything shiny. It feels like it was written to cash in on a unique job without really having anything with depth to say. Or the depth was there but not mentioned.

Gasping

Revisado: 03-15-17

Narrator kept gasping for breath. Very distracting. Good story though odd word choices in places. Not all synonyms are equal.

Silly

Revisado: 12-21-16

I can't believe I listened to the whole book. Silly, just silly. I think parts were supposed to be funny, maybe the whole thing, but I thought it so over the top that I found it weird and not funny at all

Very good

Revisado: 11-10-16

I liked how the group gelled. First impressions were not cast in cement. So have written the book is Islam bashing. I don't see it. The conflict was presented from both viewpoints. Since it involved terrorists, their viewpoint is different and hostile. The Iraqi men loved their wives and families. They had their reasons for doing what they did. Some were psychopaths, but that happens in any conflict since conflicts can draw psychopaths.
I liked the chemistry and am looking forward to whatever they write next.

Not so optional headline

Revisado: 08-06-16

Favorite main characters in order: Dog, Ben, Jack. Heroine? Not heroic. Let's just say I now understand TSTL. She didn't have any common sense - what. so. ever. I skipped the obligatory sex scenes since I know how it's done and a play by play report is only worthwhile in sports.
