Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Thoroughly Enjoyable
Revisado: 11-14-23
Loved this story. Scalzi at his best. This book was funny and creative, well paced and a great read/listen. I do wish they would change up the narrator for Scalzi's books. Wil Wheaton is ok. He reads the text but lacks performance skills of good narrators. Despite that I recommend this book. It's worth your time.

Historia
As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined...until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In this audiobook, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it.

I like Max Brooks quite a bit and have enjoyed most of his books. I wish I had read this one though. Judy Greer was a bit much. I fully understand that's what they were going for...but the main character became overwhelmingly annoying. Loved the other narrators!

Narration was fine. The story was criminally predictable. I would skip it even though it's free as your time is more valuable.

Historia
Sam and Sadie—two college friends, often in love, but never lovers—become creative partners in a dazzling and intricately imagined world of video game design, where success brings them fame, joy, tragedy, duplicity, and, ultimately, a kind of immortality. It is a love story, but not one you have heard before.

I expected more based on reviews. This was ok. Maybe if I was a gamer I would have found something to love. I did get though it painlessly. It is not a book I will remember much in 6 months.

Historia
Eva never really wanted to be a mother - and certainly not the mother of a boy who ends up murdering seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much-adored teacher who tried to befriend him, all two days before his 16th birthday. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood, and Kevin’s horrific rampage, in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklin.

Disappointing
Revisado: 06-12-21
I've heard many good things about this book maybe my expectations were too high. I found it predictable and boring. The narrator did little to give life and energy to the story...but that was how the main character was written. I often
struggle when characters are unlikable.

An entertaining listen
Revisado: 03-08-21
It has been mentioned before but it bares repeating. Scalzi desperately needed an editor to get him a list of words to use instead of said. I would have given the story 5 stars but the repetition of "said" became very frustrating. Wil Wheaton is a decent reader but does little to adjust his voice for various characters. Even with these issues, I would still recommend the book if you're a fan of the genre or Scalzi.

A good story
Revisado: 03-03-21
I enjoyed listening to this story. Solid narration. Solid plot and characters. There were a few things here and there that could've been better or didn't quite work for me, so I can't give it 5 stars. It is a good concept and worth the time.

Maybe It's Ray Porter I like?
Revisado: 01-03-21
So I've listened to several Jonathan Maberry books and have enjoyed them. BUT those books were narrated by Ray Porter, who is amazing. This book fell flat for me. It was corny and annoying in parts. The narrator was not great at female characters. There wasn't much difference between characters at all. The story was ok. Overall, difficult to finish. I got this as part of a deal, thankfully. If I could do it over, I'd skip it. Go listen to Ray Porter read vegan recipes for dogs instead.

Good Book
Revisado: 12-12-20
This is a solid second book in the series and seems to be the final book. I am glad the author chose not to drag things out for the sake of 3 books. The second book typically featuring a long journey full of will they won't they romantic missteps is getting old. Thankfully, this is not that. Better than the first and ends the story well.

Historia
Fie abides by one rule: Look after your own. Her Crow caste of undertakers and mercy-killers takes more abuse than coin, but when they’re called to collect royal dead, she’s hoping they’ll find the payout of a lifetime. When Crown Prince Jasimir turns out to have faked his death, Fie’s ready to cut her losses - and perhaps his throat. But he offers a wager that she can’t refuse: Protect him from a ruthless queen, and he’ll protect the Crows when he reigns.

Pretty Good
Revisado: 12-01-20
I enjoyed this book. It was an easy listen, nicky paced. No major twists and turns. But still enough action and peril to make it interesting. The narrator was decent enough. I wish her male voices were a bit better. otherwise, no complaints.
