Pedantic narration and narrative.

Revisado: 01-10-25

See the title. It says it all. Word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word. Is that 15 yet?

Name Dropping History of CRISPR

Revisado: 11-13-22

If you are a history buff who likes lots of irrelevant detail, this is the book for you. It is not about the technology. potential or ethical dilemma of CRISPR, which I an interested in. I did not finish the book I only made it about two thirds of the way, so it may become wonderful at the end, but I was tired of hearing about which bands played at the after conference party attended by such and so of the genetic world. Good luck.

Excellent Characters and Engaging Story

Revisado: 11-10-22

Keetch writes deep characters with complex motivations in a story that retells the Arthurian legend from a unique and telling point of view. Her book brings out the social condition of women in both the past and the present by shining light onto the self serving male-centric view of the world. I enjoyed this book as much as the Mary Stewart Arthurian series and it felt much truer and more balanced than Stewart's telling.

Interesting Premise, Formulaic Execution

Revisado: 09-21-22

The premise of land-based magic is interesting, as is the creation of three protagonists who are all flawed and neither good nor evil. The basic characters seem shallow and one dimensional and the plot feels formulaic with a few twists. None of it seems real or authentic.

Trite

Revisado: 08-18-22

A chain of invented scenes that don’t hang together well. I ran through the last part of the book at higher speed just to see if it improved. It didn’t. Trite and formulaic plot.

Not as good as first book

Revisado: 02-27-21

Formulaic for super hero stories. Lots of zaps and bops against evil super villains. Not so much character building and new perspectives. Narrator is great with very effective voicing of characters.

Wonderful Book

Revisado: 02-24-21

The pain and challenges of a transgender youth is shown with authenticity and heart. Set in a superhero story provides a unique context and great storytelling.

Formulaic

Revisado: 01-16-21

The first five books in the Trader series are some of the best science fiction books I’ve read. The last three do not have the character development, humanity and unique plots found in the first books. I could not feel or empathize with the characters in the last three books like I did with gist first novels.

Leadership

Revisado: 01-09-21

I first read this series when it was published as a podiobook. With hindsight, I realize now that my leadership career as a school administrator mirrored much of the experiences and strategies of Ishmael Wong. This is my favorite science fiction series that I have ever read and, I think, one that all aspiring leaders should take to heart.
