If you like books that make zero sense

Revisado: 07-29-22

If you want a book that makes absolutely no sense and you just want to waste a credit then this book is for you. I am perplexed how in the world this book ever got an award of any kind. Flat out dear reader this book stinks worse than hitting a skunk with your car at 65mph. Yea that stench lingers and makes you wish you had never ventured down that road. Avoid this garbage and don't waste 37 hours of your life.

Another author falls in the pitfalls of serials

Revisado: 04-21-22

By now dear reader you have heard the tale of Mary Beth/Queen Bee/Precious Mother about a gazillion dingdang times and recounted the first three books at least twice within the fourth. I had hope when I started this series that this wouldn't turn into the typical series where by the 3rd book you can tell the author has certain script either committed to memory or as an auto-hotkey where he types MBQB and his computer automatically replaces the text with a paragraph that has been told several times over. My hopes were to be smothered like so much dingdang by-and-by.

I guess the upside is that it is part of my subscription and it didn't cost me a credit.

Fiction is fiction - English went back to 1800 too

Revisado: 04-21-22

The story is good and fiction is fiction. In this one we need to process that even though the tale takes place in the 21st century that we regressed in the language to the 19th century.

High hopes for the series. The next three books will hopefully not be the typical regurgitation of the prior books with enough fluff to count for a novel.

As Skippy would say - A solid meh

Revisado: 12-12-19

Skippy would rate this a solid meh. The sad fact is that for quite a bit of the beginning of Armageddon to make sense you need to listen to this but overall the cacophony of sound that is involved in the production of an audio drama makes it hard to listen to. If you can get through the first two hours of Armageddon without issues of missing information from the plot of this book then you can safely skip it.

Solid story, fair writing.

Revisado: 08-11-19

The story is evolving well but it seems that the author is using filler at times just to hit word counts. Someone should do a mass search for the phrase "so good" and count how many times that has been used as filler alone.

Mitch Rapp is in good hands.

Revisado: 10-22-15

I don't know how much of this book was completed by Vince Flynn before he died but Kyle Mills completed it in the same voice and tone that Vince has been using for this series.

Excellent writing Kyle!

Audible needs more stars for this book

Revisado: 05-12-15

If you could sum up Red Rising in three words, what would they be?

No Holds Barred. Don't expect the standard format of most story telling because when you least expect it something not at all expected happens.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sevro, that guy is scrappy.

Which scene was your favorite?

Three Pints - that will make itself very clear once you listen or read this book.

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

Class warfare has just begun.

Not as good as Legacy of Ashes, but good.

Revisado: 05-07-12

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

That the book was not as comprehensive as Legacy of Ashes. The reality of this book is that it should be titled "A Biography of J. E. Hoover". I understand that Hoover was a large portion of the FBI history, and that the more recent information is probably still classified and thus unpublishable but Weiner could have retitled this book and cut the last few chapters and had a better book with a much more accurate title.

What three words best describe Stefan Rudnicki???s performance?

Needs linguistics lessons

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

no

Any additional comments?

Repeat after me Mr. Rudnicki; Mah-Cheese-Moe, not Ma-kiss-mo, Mah-Cheese-Moe. That is just the beginning of so many mispronounced words.
