Oh, the narration

Revisado: 03-23-25

Be prepared for gory descriptions and crude language (especially by Chirk) but Grover makes it all worth it.

Good old Fred

Revisado: 01-29-25

A lovely story. The world needs more Freds. A glimpse into getting/being old and the joys or challenges of 'supportive living'. I could have dont without the author's prolonged afterword.

Outstanding research

Revisado: 09-09-24

This is my 2nd book by Sharyl Atkinson and it is even more impressive. She presents facts and reasons that make me doubt and distrust governments, the medical system, pharmaceutical industry and most of all, the legacy media. Shame on all of them.

Stories were not bad...

Revisado: 08-03-24

...but the Birdy and Twiggy characters were annoying. Birdy's immaturity combined with her know-it-all attitude got on my nerves. And Twiggy's jealousy and obsession with food was annoying. Narration was not bad altho some of the accents and women's voices were overdone.

New respect

Revisado: 07-31-24

The research combined with excellent writing and narration gives me a whole new appreciation for beavers. I am lucky to live in a city next to a park beside a river, with constructed wetlands built to capture stormwater runoff. We have beavers but too many of my neighbors don't appreciate their value. With the great info learned from this book, I will try harder to advocate for them.

Quirky

Revisado: 06-17-24

An especially insightful story. Narration by the author was excellent. I imagine he was able to make the characters' voices match what he heard in his own mind.

Eye opening

Revisado: 04-25-24

First, the narration was wonderful, especially Big Bob. Then the story - the horse trading, the dirty dealing, the special interests versus the public interest. All tied up with just a few personalities that that you can't help but like. The author's afterword gives a fascinating insight into how this story came to be.

Held my interest

Revisado: 03-30-24

Characters were believable, flaws too. Nice that Beth was intelligent enough to see hers and didn't have to be the smartest, toughest cop in the place, although she had her moments. The descriptions of Owen (aka Ben) discovering the realities of life in 1882, especially the smells, was probably close to true. If you enjoy a well-told story with a time travel theme, you should like this book.

I tried...

Revisado: 01-16-24

...but gave up with 2 hours still to go. Just don't care about the characters or how it ends. The naive female character accepts 'magic' and driving a car to another world of elves and then presumes, after not even a day's experience there, to judge them to be fascists (not sure she knows what it even means). Loki was mildly interesting but for someone who is supposedly 1000 years old and worried about the fate of his 2 sons who he thinks need rescuing for some unclear misdeeds. If Loki is that old, how old are his sons?

Good story

Revisado: 07-10-23

Well told. Not syrupy sweet. Almost everybody learned and grew. Kpop was new to me so I oogled it and saw lots of images of the gorgeous young men. I like stories like this that introduce me to something new. Narrator was excellent!
