Kocheria

Good, but slightly flawed.

Revisado: 11-28-24

Really enjoyed, but early on an obvious clue referencing the computers and the internet kind of gave away the perpetrator. If that clue had been eliminated it would have me guessing. Still a great listen with Aubrey!

Not as good as the 1st four books in the series

Revisado: 11-28-24

I have really enjoyed the first 4 books in this series, so I'm sad to say I'm disappointed by the 5th one. Nothing really happens until the very last couple chapters. Kinda of like an extended " MacGuffin". And While I expect a great deal of exposition about Harry's world and its people, this book takes it to such an extreme it's like slogging through a swamp. Sometimes I would skip ahead in chapter just in frustration. Visit the house .. Visit the sheep .. wash and repeat!

Aubrey's narration remains spot on, and I intend to continue with the series assuming this one is an exception, But I cannot imagine ever re-listening to this one.

Limited form (short story)

Revisado: 09-20-23

A decent mystery story but not sufficiently complex for my taste. The attitudes and behavior of the characters does not fit the future time frame. The technical background was great but thin. Again, short story format was a strong limiting factor.

Possible homage to Arthur Conan Doyle?

Revisado: 02-13-23

Although a bit wordy at times, the style suited the period. The narration was spot on. I will be checking for other works by the narrator and I will be looking forward to future works featuring the main character. I will probably get the e-book, if available, so that I can more closely look for the clues. I'm a big fan of Anthony Horowitz and would like to add Christopher Huang as a new writer to follow.

Too Many Characters and Too Little Plot

Revisado: 05-29-22

First, despite my negative review, I still plan to read at least the next installment of the series to see if things improve. Too much time was spent, usually at least a whole chapter or two introducing new characters. It's so woke it seems the writer may have a side bet with other writers to see how far over the edge of believability he could go. Most, like the Pilot/Navigator were very two dimensional caricatures of their ethnic backgrounds (ie a drunken irishman??).

It seems the writer has recently discovered the Deus ex machina plot device and uses it again, and again, and again! Every problem the main characters encountered is resolved by exploiting a new technology or skill previously not disclosed.

At first I was enchanted with the readers skill ... but god! after 4-5 hours I needed strong drink or drugs or both!!

The Master

Revisado: 03-30-21

Adrian remains one the few master story tellers of any type of fiction. This story was both funy and poignient..may sound silly but it haunts me.
