Robert N. Driscoll

A must read

Revisado: 04-07-24

deep dive into how we've screwed up a couple of Denerations with smartphones, causing massive mental health problems. Depressing, but solutions offered if folks listen.

Given up on this series.

The Agent Zero series were fairly exciting, if somewhat cliche. This one may have been written by AI. Brutal.

Good series.

Anyone into this "man with a code" thriller genre will be familiar with the themes, but this series (so far, I've only listened to 3) is well-executed. Lots of good detail on the intelligence world, and the plot is well-constructed, with enough bad outcomes for some likeable characters that it's not cartoonist.

End of the Line

Revisado: 01-19-22

Started with the Spenser series as a kid. Read them all, then listened to the Audiobooks even through the "ghost of Robert B. Parker" phase, which has been entertaining and familiar, if uneven. But now, we've gotten to the point where Spenser is so "with the times" he unironically uses the term "Latinx". I'm out. End of the line for me after 40 years of the character. This book is so predictable, stereotypical, and wooden it hurts.

Fantastic

sci fi not my genre, but this book was great. Suspenseful, human, and funny all at the same time.

Really great.

I listen to a fair number of thrillers/spy novels. Barry Eisler is a cut above, and this novel in particular is really well done. Blends in characters from the other novels, well- paced, and enough internal dialog of the characters to give them depth and make you root for them.

Loved it. Thorough and I learned a great deal.

Calhoun is a tough subject to tackle because it is tempting to let the awfulness of the cause he served be the only thing that matters. I found the treatment of him complete and nuanced without obscuring or avoiding his connection to slavery. I'm glad I took the time with this. I did think the narration was a touch uneven, as though someone went back and dropped in sentences or paragraphs occasionally.

A great Audiobook -- almost a meditation!!

Revisado: 01-28-21

I have Fr. Bill's book on the Rosary, but the Audiobook, which includes Bill reciting the prayers after his discussion/mediation on each of the mysteries, is really superior. I am definitely NOT a devotee of the Rosary (or haven't been) but this Audiobook really does provide great explanations and a wonderful approach to the prayer/mediation of the Rosary. Don't be intimidated if you aren't a regular. I like so much of what Bill Watson and Sacred Story does, but this one is really special.

Fantastic

Hiassen was created to write this one. It is laugh out loud funny, the satire of Palm Beach MAGA-like characters hysterical without being heavy handedly political or interfering with the story. Its got all you expect from a Hiassen book.
