I don’t need to be preached to

Revisado: 12-26-24

I know the world is focused on sexual orientation, identity, choice… whatever. I listen to stories to escape the world, not to be preached at about some big social thing. I ignored it the first time, I let it go the second, but by the third, I was done. When, in the middle of the story, a situation is shoehorned in, just for the sake of including it so you can say “look what I did!”, it takes me out of the story in the worst way. I love theses stories, but not enough to give in. Returned it and won’t finish the series.

Wanted to love it, hated the preaching

Revisado: 11-22-24

The story is fun, and I wanted to listen more, but after a while I just couldn’t deal with the socialist rants every other chapter. I understand that your beliefs will leach into your writing, but this was so abrupt and blatant, it took away from the story.

Good romp with some great laughs

Revisado: 08-30-24

Remember you are listening to a book about alien dogs. Don’t take it too seriously or it will be wasted on you. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Love the MHI world, but this needed an editor badl

Revisado: 07-15-24

All the pieces are there, and the stories are great, but you can tell they didn’t spend much time after translating it to make it correct. It takes you out of the story when you have to go “Huh?” every 5 mins because the sentence structure was butchered so badly. It actually reads like a really good first or second draft. It just needed a little love to get it there.

It is exactly what it is…

Revisado: 07-02-24

It is a bunch of good notes, set aside by a good author to fill in the blanks later. Then picked up by someone who really doesn’t care about the story, and all those bits and pieces between are soulless. For example, on the outline was written “helicopter crash here”. It was then written as “random character with no invested story magically appears. Wrecks helicopter… moving on.” The worst part is I paid money for this, so I cannot return it. It will be in my archive just stinking up the place.

Classic Nemesis, yet fresh!

Revisado: 01-29-24

I have loved the Nemesis series since they first came out. The changes were awesome and I love the multiversal update.

An editor should have caught the repetition

Revisado: 05-06-23

This book would have been an hour shorter without the repetition. The author repeated the basis of the plot so many times, that you almost ceased to care. You just didn’t want him to say it again. I haven’t even finished the book, and I really just don’t want to hear why we are going back to the plateau one more time. I only bought the second book because the idea is great, even with the stupid repetitive prose.

I tried.

Revisado: 02-28-23

I was really trying to like this book, but I just couldn’t get through it. The writing was clunky and just couldn’t keep me interested enough in the characters to listen till the end. The narrator though is great. I will watch out for him in the future. He is the only reason I listened as long as I did. The author has great instincts for his stories, he just needs a partner to keep him on track with the characters in it.

Perfect weird west story

Revisado: 11-20-22

This series is a perfect example of a “Weird West” story. Most west, with enough weird to keep you going. Really what the authors do, is make the strangeness seem like just that, a difference that keeps you wanting more. You can find a thousand western novels, but when the monsters come out…

All Longmire

Revisado: 11-20-22

This was a little different Longmire story, because most of the supporting cast that you know and love weren’t there for most of it. They had their moments, but it was refreshing to see Craig Johnson spend a little more time on new characters.
