Bad addition to the series

Revisado: 12-08-20

There wasn't really a plot, this felt like a bunch of short ideas thrown together with very little cohesive thread. they skip large lengths of time with no reason (they claim to have a reason but it is flimsy at best)
it is a shame as the first 4 books were wonderful but it felt like this had no direction, no purpose, no reason to exist. Felt like a bunch of fluff and trying to change the world and story completely for no reason.

If you liked the pervious books in this series, skip this one. Maybe the next book will have some substance that will help the series survive.

Feels more disjointed than the usual Discworld boo

Revisado: 03-14-18

This is the first of the series I have not finished reading. It feels like a bunch of things were thrown together without planning. I skipped to Guards, Guards! and didn't have any issues with that one.

My favorite of the series

Revisado: 12-06-17

Many favorite characters return in this last book. The author breaks the fourth wall several times in the most hilarious of manners. I had a difficult time pausing this book.

Lots of examples but doesn't address problems

Revisado: 07-17-17

The narration was well done but I feel like a lot of the issues were glossed over. They didn't cover potential pitfalls of blockchain technology until chapter 9, and there's several obvious concerns that were never brought up. However, if you only want to know about all the possibilities and the organizations involved currently with the tech, this is a brilliant book.

Enjoyable read with constant action

Revisado: 03-30-17

The author tosses you right into the action almost before you get to know the main character, but that's only for the first few scenes. I plan on re-reading this again soon.

Physical or eBook version probably better

Revisado: 10-04-16

The first chapter has a bunch of pops and off-putting sounds besides the narrator. I don't know if the narrator is purposely trying to sound pompous but it grated on my nerves. I'm still trying to decide if I want to try reading it instead.

Unique zombie stories

Revisado: 03-18-16

While some of the stories did drag, a majority of them present zombies in ways not overused in other books, TV shows, or movies.

Perfect for nerds

Revisado: 03-04-16

This story contains a brilliant blend of nostalgia and apocalypse. It contains all kinds of 80's trivia combined with a bleak future. The story is almost surreal. I do have to admit I struggled briefly towards the beginning, but it picks up quickly after that. It ends up being a fantastic ride.

More interested in scaring moms than helping

Revisado: 01-05-16

I wasn't impressed. After a couple hours I realized about half of what I was hearing was handled in such a way that it made me more nervous than actually providing good info. She tends to linger on more stressful topics even while pointing out that some of the studies she mentions have faulty biases. Since it's an audio book, I don't have access to any bibliography to help me make sense of where she's coming from. I did not keep listening past the first 10 chapters.

THIS IS NOT BOOK 2!

Revisado: 06-14-14

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I got very confused when I first started listening to this after listening to book 1: The Maze of Bones. It is very clear within a couple minutes of starting chapter 2 that there is a whole book missing between The Maze of Bones and Unstoppable. I don't know why Audible has it mislabeled, but this is actually book 3 in the series; One False Note is the second book.

What could Jeff Hirsch have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

My problem is strictly with Audible labeling this as the second book. I'm sure that once I have finished the real second book that I will enjoy this one.

How could the performance have been better?

What little I listened to was good.

Could you see The 39 Clues: Unstoppable, Book 2 being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

They would probably need to use multiple books to make a good movie, but it could work.
