Great Array of Classic Monsters

Revisado: 03-29-25

As ever, this edition would get more of my money if getting a hard copy were easier. If all my e-books would disappear, I would buy this edition again.

Cheated: But it was free.

Revisado: 01-14-25

Chapter after chapter the tension builds. The team edges closer to the cliff. Murders and bodies stack up and our heroes are not giving up. Of course not. The ending is a cheat.

The team are fantastic voice actors. Reid Scott is a bit over the top at times, but it is not too distracting. Cobie Smulders is a consummate professional and delivers every time. If this was a book I would have returned it. I listened to it three times to see if I missed something - if there was a clue as to how it ended. There wasn't a clue. I was disappointed. But it was free.

Save Your Audible Credit

Revisado: 03-28-24

SPOILERS! SPOILERS!
Mickey 7 has a good premise: What if it was possible to perfectly clone a person and back up the personality so the clone had a perfect memory? Now, what if the person who is cloned is only used for dangerous missions and is considered expendable? His only lot in life is to be expendable. What a gold mine of storylines and none of them are fully explored. It's not funny, it's not thought-provoking, it's not a tear-jerker. It teases a little religious bigotry, but then it's as if the writer is afraid to go deep into the subject matter. I listened to the end because I wanted to know about the aliens, and that was weak tea at best. John and Katherine were excellent narrators, they deserved 5 stars. If you skip this one you saved yourself an Audible credit.

Sea Devils Stink Not This Book

Revisado: 03-20-24

I’ll keep it short, it is far better to listen to this book than read it.

Someone write sanctuary moon, please. Great story about a boy who doesn’t know it has a lot of feelings.

Great Story Idea

Revisado: 12-13-23

An excellent concept that deserves another shot. The protagonists were great but it was too much buddy cop.

Surviving and then thriving.

Revisado: 07-18-23

I couldn’t read this story, it was too difficult; I couldn’t get the voices in my head, hear the nuisances between the girls and adults. Read a chapter and put it away - how do they sound, I couldn’t find the rhythm, the cadence of their speech. I gave the book to a friend and they loved it. Months go by and I see it’s on Audible. I try it. Miss Small brought Miss Wolfe’s words to life. Thank you for allowing me a small glimpse of a world I could never comprehend.

Been There Read That

If it weren’t for a good score and sound effects, and great voice actors this story would have floundered.

There are many who tried to narrate this book, but this man has done it.

THE RIGHT NOVEL AT THE RIGHT TIME

Revisado: 08-04-22

We are slowly recuperating from the worst years I, as a 60+-year-old man, can remember. This is after 22 years of active duty service in the US Army. I joined in 1987, you do the math and yes, I went to all the worst places. This book takes its humor seriously. It's light-hearted, but not in a Seinfeld way, there is a weight to the comedy, All good comedy has stakes, a price that should be paid to make the humor or release of tension worth the chuckle or laugh. Mr. Scalzi makes it clear through the interactions of the many characters that their digs and jabs at each other are a release so that they do not become bogged down with the weight of their responsibilities.
It's a novel that demands you suspend your rational mind and enjoy the improbable ride. I did that and listened to it in just three days, I do have other things that not just demand my complete attention, but grab me by the throat and scream, "I WILL NOT FIX MYSELF."
Enjoy the Audible,
