Common Sense

Better than the last one

Revisado: 07-01-24

This sounded more like a compilation of short stories that didn't make it into previous books, than a well planned continuation of the lives of the characters. I'll continue to be a big fan of Ms. Briggs, but I've got to say to her - I'm sick and tired of the damned vampires. Just kill the evil things and move onto something new - please.

Find a VERY quiet place to listen to this book

Revisado: 02-14-24

I was very frustrated while trying to hear this narration. Whispered conversations and lowered voices might be very effective if the listener is sitting in a sound-proof room; but are very annoying when driving along the interstate or in any environment with normal background noise.
Dick Hill also chooses to use a nasal accent for some characters that grates like nails on a chalk board. That they are good characters adds to the annoyance.
And once you've increased the volume to 35 - 40, he suddenly starts a passage with a booming male voice that has you lunging to turn it down!
This is probably the best series that Tery Brooks has written, but I really didn't want to wear out the volume control knob on my sound system while listening to it.

My ears were bleeding.

Couldn't survive listening to even the 1st day of the story. Both main characters were so aggravating and unlikeable! Like being forced to listen to two people who hate each other bicker endlessly.

So unrealistic - had to stop listening

Revisado: 11-29-23

Just too much to enjoy. Not a good story. Could be good if the characters weren't so stupid.

Wow! Jim Dale really struck out on this one.

Creaky & scratchy Old Man voice was a bust. Mispronouncing names was a fatal mistake. I didn't make it to Hogwarts, just bailed off and looked for something better.

Hours and hours of conversation - ugh!

Revisado: 04-25-23

Sorry, but this one is boring. And when one character dropped the F-bomb every other word, it just got to be too much to take. People who speak like this do exist, but they don't deserve to be recognized in text.

Drowning in Details!!!

Revisado: 01-12-23

After only 3 hours, I found myself shouting at my iPhone "I don't CARE about ....", so I had to stop listening. This book could be really good but it needs a ruthless editor to cut out about 1/3 of the details and character development. Also, the action scenes were really unrealistic; it seemed as if the main characters were moving in slow motion while the events were speeding by.

Great Story - WAY too much vulgar language.

Revisado: 09-01-21

If I had a dollar for every curse word in this story, I could buy Audible and maybe Amazon too. It didn't add one good thing to the effectiveness of the work, just made everyone seem crude.

Narration was not good

Revisado: 11-30-20

Hard to imagine that anyone could read Heinlein and make it sound dull, but Mr. James did just that. Anyone who has ever heard an army instructor addressing recruits - in film or real life - wouldn't relate to the relaxed, calm narration of this book. Was no one in the studio listening to the narration prior to it's release?

How many stupid mistakes do you get?

Revisado: 01-22-20

This girl is charming but dumber than a sack of hammers. The author is to blame; no normal person would be so dumb.
The cowboy hero is just as dumb.
The story would be great if the author didn't mentally incapacitate the main characters.
