Too slow, basic theme

Revisado: 03-27-20

Theme was like rescuing Carol Anne from Poltergeist (without the suspense). The book was very slow and focused on details that did not move the plot forward much. I increased the speed of the audiobook to 1.75 times just to move the story ahead faster. Interesting concept, but not very original.

Could have been a much better book with some good editing and higher level of sci-fi detail.

Great story, difficult to understand the reader

Revisado: 11-09-17

Kevin Hearne wrote an amazing tale, intricate, detailed, and consistent. The story was told from the perspective of a bard which was very well done.

Luke Daniels read very well, as always.

Xe Sands, who read the female sections, was very hard to understand. I had to fully concentrate to understand only about 80% of what she said. I could not listen and see the story in my mind’s eye. This became so frustrating that I almost returned the audiobook and read the paperback instead. I lost the ability to see the continuity of the story. In fact, I missed major plot points only realizing later that a character died because I couldn’t understand the female sections.

I highly recommend that the female sections be re-recorded by another female reader and a new version of the audiobook be produced.

AI enthusiasts will be amazed

Revisado: 07-28-16

Anyone interested in artificial intelligence should listen to this comprehensive story of Alan Turing's life. It is a bit long winded at points, but worth the listen.

Horribly dull listen

Revisado: 03-18-16

I couldn't believe how boring the narrator made this story. I could only trudge through the first hour and a half before stopping and returning the book. The promise of cool AI multi entity characters was undermined by the utterly dull writing and presentation. DON'T waste your time.

Good use of superpowers, but shallow characters

Revisado: 03-04-15

Wonderful imagery, simple and somewhat shallow characters, creative super power strength and weakness combinations. Entertaining, but juvenile. The narrator read the story well.
