Absolutely splendid!!
Revisado: 05-09-19
This is a truly great book with an absolutely splendid narration. Isherwood is a remarkable author and it’s a pity that there are so few of his titles available on audio. Simon Prepple’s narration is flawless. A truly great listening experience!

Magnificent book but audio is crap
Revisado: 10-03-18
A real classic. Only problem with this recording is the sound quality. There are background noises and you get really annoyed with the sound of the recorder going on an of as the narrator speaks and pauses. You may stand it if you have other background noise, eg if you commute and listen in your car.

Bob Johansson didn't believe in an afterlife, so waking up after being killed in a car accident was a shock. To add to the surprise, he is now a sentient computer and the controlling intelligence for a Von Neumann probe. Bob and his copies have been spreading out from Earth for 40 years now, looking for habitable planets. But that's the only part of the plan that's still in one piece.

Disappointing sequel
Revisado: 04-28-17
After the first book I was really looking forward to the sequel. However, it was far from meeting my expectations. The storyline is more simple (Star Trek & Planet of the Apes replica) and the characters seem (although most are robots) unauthentic. The narrator does a good job but the plot is so thin and jokes so Iame I had to force myself to finish this book.

Nah, too thin plot...
Revisado: 04-18-17
The plot was transparent from the very beginning, took 15 minutes to guess how it would end and there were no surprises on the way there.

Historia
When a spaceship landed in an open field in the quiet mill town of Sorrow Falls, Massachusetts, everyone realized humankind was not alone in the universe. With that realization everyone freaked out for a little while. Or almost everyone. The residents of Sorrow Falls took the news pretty well. This could have been due to a certain local quality of unflappability, or it could have been that in three years the ship did exactly nothing other than sit quietly in that field, and nobody understood the full extent of this nothing the ship was doing better than the people who lived right next door.

Zombie spree
Revisado: 03-28-17
Well, not really what I had expected. The book had good ratings and I thought it was something similar to We are Legion, which I enjoyed very much, but this is something else. Perhaps something for young adults who like zombie and vampire books...

Historia
Ralph Elllison's Invisible Man is a monumental novel, one that can well be called an epic of modern American Negro life. It is a strange story, in which many extraordinary things happen, some of them shocking and brutal, some of them pitiful and touching—yet always with elements of comedy and irony and burlesque that appear in unexpected places. It is a book that has a great deal to say and which is destined to have a great deal said about it.

Wish there was an abridged version
Revisado: 11-25-16
This is a good book but there are certain passages which goes on, what feels like, for ever. I would have preferred an abridged version of the book, as there are certain passages which are extremely long preaching.

A diary of a young adult experimenting with productivity
Revisado: 07-21-16
Found it hard to take this book serious as it mainly is based on one young man's experiments with trying to be productive. The scientific basis of the book is largely ideas picked up by other productivity bloggers which he try to apply on himself. It may be inspiring for a college student or the like but not for anyone looking for more fact based advice.

Historia
Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon, first serialized in a magazine in 1930, is best known through the iconic Humphrey Bogart film of 1941. But it was the book that created the classic "noir" genre with its tough private detective threading his cool way between the criminals and the law. Sam Spade, the private eye solving the mystery of the Maltese statuette, was the template for Philip Marlowe and a host of others…. but they come no more shrewd and cunning with Hammett peppering the text with one-liners.

Extremely well narrated book. Classic hard boiled detective story that takes you back to the 1920s. So well performed that you actually picture the black and white movie playing in front of you.

Cheezy
Revisado: 01-14-16
Narrator sounds like she was talking to a small child. Cannot understand the ratings of this book, it is really cheesy at times. With references to the parent as 'the pole star' and the annoying voice of the narrator, I find it really difficult to take this book seriously.
