The lack of feeling

Revisado: 07-13-24

Narration flat- no emotion in the reading- story arc predictable- seems as if written by AI rather than a warm blooded human.

The originality of the story, its overall structure and rather excellent writing made this an unusually compelling listen.

Narration was quite good as well!
I’m interested in more by this author.
I recommend it. The gay aspects are handled honestly and not cheaply.

Indian Godfather Story

A bit of a nightmare scenario, much like Steve Francis Ford Coppola godfather series. Pass.

Not too involved

Revisado: 11-07-22

What I liked:
there was an effort for a curious gay sci-fi tale; the human protagonist was a philosophy professor; the physicality of the android.
What I did not like:
The stunningly unrelentless panic in the voice of the narrator. The quaver made me think of Katherine Hepburn when she said “the calla lilies are in bloom again” in whichever old movie that was. It NEVER stopped & I began to wonder if the narrator simply spoke that way to everybody all the time, every day, every hour, every minute. For his sake, I was pleased to find out that that was not the case when he spoke during the end credits.
The arc of the story was formulaic in a very familiar way.
I’m sorry to be so critical but Audible is not offering here what I would consider to be a literary find.
One last thing & I’m so not a prude…
Half the book was the two of them going at it in bed or wherever… HALF! This is not a rewarding listen.
Lastly, if the human protagonist said “Oh boy!” once he said it 24 times I’m fairly sure. Get a different exclamation of pleasure, please!
Ok, not worth a credit if you’re paying a monthly 16$. No offense to the author just a fair minded commentary by me.
Peace out

Uncharmed

I have to say that I gave this entire book every chance I could conceive of to succeed as an interesting story that was also fully developed. I did not find it to be so. I found instead that it was difficult to get past an array, or rather a full constellation of predictable tropes.

I went along for the ride primarily because I paid a credit for what audible or perhaps, Amazon chooses to describe as a “great read”.
Of course, everyone hears a narrator in their own way, but this woman’s style of narration was quite distracting to me, as it very often sounded like someone on the radio reading the news of the day. I did not find appropriate emotional emphasis for the words that she rather often chose to deliver in a matter of fact, and at times sensational style. Odd choice I thought…

It was a bit preachy and a sort of combination of morality tales, In trying to categorize it, I would say it should be in the young adult age range.

I will be requesting a credit refund, which is something I rarely do.

Nicely done sir

Revisado: 10-09-22

Such an honest touching story from a kind soul like JT. If I’d ever met him I now know I would want him as a friend.
One of the most succinct autobiographies I’ve ever come across and yet it felt somehow as complete as necessary to get a full measure of the man. Bravo!
