Trite, unoriginal

Revisado: 04-20-25

Love the genre but this was formulaic and repetitive, intended to invoke outrage judgment of the characters choices.

Disjointed, slow, silly - who cares

Revisado: 01-05-25

Disjointed flow, slow development, no characters to care about, predictable, trite, tosses in quasi spiritual Native American heritage, blah blah

Narration was painfully bad

Revisado: 08-03-24

Could not force myself to listen to more than a few minutes at a time - just enough so that it is eligible for return. Narrator tries to sound like a young child - gender unknown. Sounds like they faked a child’s voice and then sped up the recoding to make it sound even less like a real person. Could this be an AI narrating? Nah - AI would do better than this. Story - as far as I could get - seems like a tired formulaic rendition.

Same old stuff

Revisado: 03-17-24

By now, post apocalyptic stories should not spend a quarter of the time explaining basic, familiar processes such as emp. And need stop the outrage upon learning many politicians are incompetent

Ho hum. Boring

Revisado: 12-30-23

Unrealistic, convoluted, and with such poorly developed characters that I really didn’t care or have interest in what happened. So far fetched it puts the nation’s many conspiracy theorists to shame.

Dull - not sci-fi and not good lit

Revisado: 07-01-23

Full of dreary recitals by colorless 2-D characters with noting worthy of being classified as sci-fi, action, romance or good lit

Joe - and C.J. - are back!

Revisado: 04-07-23

The character Joe Pickett was almost unrecognizable in Book 22, Shadows Reel. The entire novel made me wonder whether C.J. had gone off the rails. It was filled with barely related story lines and right-wing conspiracy theories.
I was glad to see that the old Joe Pickett is back in Storm Watch. Box has presented a remarkably accurate picture of Wyoming's weather, people, economy, corrupt politics, and current controversies while telling a well-organized, suspenseful, and satisfying story.

Get your conspiracy theories here from Box

Revisado: 03-14-23

Terribly disappointing. Two hardly-related stories in parallel in order to make one book. Lots of obscure historical ramblings, lots of racial and ethnic stereotyping, and lots of “speculation” on the origin of social unrest in 2022 America that is extremely one-sided and that doesn’t fit in a joe Pickett novel. Oh, well, he did mention a cow (twice) and some raptors so I guess that makes it a bonafide Game Warden Pickett novel?

Boring story and offensive stereotypes

Revisado: 02-20-23

Suarez was one of favorite authors - until now. I forced myself to get 2/3 through to give it a fair chance but without success. There is nothing new in the story, no cool new technology, and the dialog between characters is bland, uninteresting or sophomoric. Stereotyping by racial, national, and ethnic identify are rampant. The narrator’s accent of awful and insulting.

I don't find disordered thinking entertaining

Revisado: 12-15-22

McCarthy's all over-the-place rambling doesn't coalesce into an entertaining narrative. Afraid that I struggled so long to try to like it that now Audible won't let me return this awful, boring book.
