Starship: Nowhere

Revisado: 05-06-14

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I tried listening to it twice and bought the sequal. I can't say I really understood why I did that, I hoped for a good starship pirate story but didn't get it. It sounded so promising though.

What was most disappointing about Mike Resnick’s story?

Inconsistencies in the story, clearly unbelievable jumps in logic and a lack of focus on what actually was happening.

Which scene was your favorite?

No real favorite, it was all rather bland.

Was Starship worth the listening time?

After carefull consideration I can't recommend it.

Any additional comments?

I listen to many sci fi stories and while ofcourse you can't always understand the choices people make this universe seems made up especially to show just how great the main character is while his "deductions are half guess and half wrong half the time". That is fun when Jack Vance writes a story but not in a story that takes his character so serious.

Dune as it should be

Revisado: 01-28-14

Would you consider the audio edition of Dune to be better than the print version?

This audio version actually does create an interesting athmosphere for listening. You will be absorbed by the story and the ones who tell it.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Duke Leto.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

They are superb actors who really bring this story to life.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Dune, Arrakis, desert planet.

Any additional comments?

It is really an audioplay, not a audiobook. Its a great listen of a great story and I loved every minute of it, moreso because of the athmosphere created by sound and voice from the very start.

Christian Rummel always sounds good and proffesional he is one of my favorite performers.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

He won the war, will he keep the peace?

light history for a light price.

The break for non existent commercials is very annoying and could have easily been cut out making for smaller download, a compacter format and shorter listening time.

If you could sum up The Book of Five Rings in three words, what would they be?

Exactly as hoped.

The introduction of the book by the original author, Musashi.

Have you listened to any of Scott Brick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no idea

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I listened to it 5 times allready, I am sure I will do so again.

Any additional comments?

A marvelous book that I without a doubt will also buy in print. The performance of Scot Brick was excellent, clearly understandable and with good pronouncement, at least as far as I understand it (I do not speak japanese).
