Historia
Set in present-day Los Angeles, Junk explores an epic conspiracy, one at work for thousands of years that involves total takeover of the planet Earth by aliens. In the wild, souped-up vision of Les Bohem - the acclaimed, Emmy-winning writer of the Steven Spielberg miniseries, Taken - the world is at the end stage of long-range plot that involves a gigantic genetic-engineering project. The aliens who have invaded us have no planet. No spaceship is coming. Instead, a small advance force comes, breeds, and dies - thus becoming an anomaly in our DNA that can’t be explained.

Bravo!!!

A new twist on the "alien" invasion story. John Water does a terrific job here and the story is great but not perfect. Highly Recommended.

Historia
In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a Black African father and a White American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a Black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father - a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man - has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey - first to a small town in Kansas, and then to Kenya....

Extremely Important Read
Revisado: 02-14-19
This book has become increasingly relevant and important since being published. and the importance is not just due to the author's assention to the highest office in the United States but the nationalist movement sweeping the US in the age of Trumpism. It delves into the struggles of the black social structure through the biracial lens. But in today's lens this turns out to be a larger allegory for the nation as a whole.

Great Urban Fantasy Mystery
Revisado: 08-11-18
This a very well made mystery with fantasy thrown in. My only criticism is that the setting wasn't utilized well. This could have easily taken place in another city next to a lake or ocean. The story is laser focus. There is no superfluous information or excessive unnecessary worldbuilding. Stylistically the chapters could have been broken up into shorter parts. I The chapters with the exception of a couple could have easily been split into two or even three. It would make the book easier to manage for the reader or listener. The performance was top notch, it match the Dresden's voice perfectly.

Magical Storytelling
Revisado: 05-30-18
This is a good book. It is a modern fairytale about trolls and monsters, love and horror, tradition and the new, and the past ryhming in the present. This is a book about books, about stories of books, the storytellers that tell them, and the stories that we tell ourselves. This is a story about nightmares being tame and reality being wild. If you are looking for an easy read, avoid this book. If you are looking for the familiar, avoid this book. If you are looking to escape reality, definitely avoid this book. This fantasy feels real. And that what makes it, a good book.

Excellent Story & Performance
Revisado: 05-23-18
This was an execellent reimagining of mythology through the lense of Amercana. The character development in the story is excellent, the world created as depth, with every chapter exploring something interesting about Americanism. A true American Fantasy novel.

Historia
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Excellent Worldbuilding, Story needs to be better.
Revisado: 05-14-18
This was a struggle to finish. A couple of storylines could have been tighten or cut altogether. The story extremely drags in parts and it feels like the author realized 20 chapters in who the real protagonist are. It could be better.
