It's a Problematic Performance

Revisado: 08-16-22

This is truly among the most unprofessional, horrendous recording performances I've ever heard on audible.

It's quote/unquote problematic. The material is quote/unquote essential, but the author quote/unquote seems to have never done any audio work in his quote/unquote life. It is a travesty. $5k would but you professionals. EDIT: the farther you go, the more the lines are slurred and hurried. the way someone who has had a stroke sounds.

Stunningly Amateur

Revisado: 06-01-22

This just shocks the senses. It's terrible on so many basic narrative levels that it simply must be an undergraduate project. Gag!

All That is Shameful in SciFi

Revisado: 06-11-21

Wesley Crusher brings his famously community-theater-level acting ability to an undergraduate workshop level piece of SF.

Everything about this book and subsequent installments is so lazy. So cheap. The world building is nonexistent. The vulgarity is usually attempted for comic effect, and fails. It is somehow 2000 years in our future but everything is lazily the same. Various swear words, most technology, personal hygiene. Hotel keys.

No effort was expended in the making of this book. Except for poor Wesley, who definitely expended MAXIMUM EFFORT in reading, though produces nothing but cringeworthy takes on shabbily written lines.

This is why science fiction is still considered a lesser form. because it's the refuge of untalented hacks and teenage boys and mancchildren who are thrilled at F-bombs and offhand lesbianism.

Stunningly Bad Narrator

Revisado: 09-29-16

it is truly impossible to describe the shock when somebody mispronounces the names that are essential to the story. The mispronunciation of Greenwich is perhaps a high-crime. How does Bob Dunsworth have a job doing this? Made this professional historian cringe. Frequently.

Good Lay Scholarship

Revisado: 09-21-16

It's a political retelling of basic history with an interesting angle. Impressive for a non historian (no, a PhD dropout doesn't count as a professional).

Shocking Mispronunciations and Amateur Production

Revisado: 09-24-14

What didn’t you like about Jeff Cummings’s performance?

I would not have left a review, but at a certain point I simply had to say something. As a professional in the field of history, intimately involved with this subject matter, I am stunned at the lack of research that went into this production. Names are comically mispronounced as if there was no effort at all to research the topic. Beyond that, it is a patchwork production lacking even the most basic audio editing skills. The edits are frequent and absurdly distracting.

Watch out for such gems as the mispronounciation of Eugene Wigner, Vanivar Bush (Van-IH-veer!) and perhaps most shockingly, the Nobel Prize Winner Aage Bohr (Ah-wah...seriously?) It's as if this was recorded as a C- level undergraduate project.
