Single father Todd is relaxing at the beach with his son, Anthony, when he catches sight of a man approaching from the water’s edge. As the man draws closer, Todd recognizes him as Jack, who bullied Todd relentlessly in their teenage years but now seems overjoyed to have “run into” his old friend. Jack suggests a meal to catch up. And can he spend the night? What follows is a fast-paced story of obsession and cunning. As Jack invades Todd’s life, pain and intimidation from the past unearth knife-edge suspense in the present.

This book ruined my week
Revisado: 03-11-23
I’m not sure why I even finished this book. I guess I was holding out hope there would be something redeeming or worthwhile near the end. There wasn’t. This book is a blatant expression of repression, self hatred, an homophobia. I wish I could erase it from my memory. I held off on writing this review but if
I can prevent at-least one empathetic person from putting this poison into their soul than I will have done something good.

The year is 2049. When a deadly non-viral agent intended for biowarfare spreads out of control, scientists must scramble to ensure the survival of the human race. They turn to their last resort, a plan to place genetically engineered children inside the cocoons of large-scale robots - to be incubated, birthed, and raised by machines. But there is yet one hope of preserving the human order: an intelligence programmed into these machines that renders each unique in its own right - the Mother Code. Kai is born in America’s desert Southwest, his only companion his robotic Mother, Rho-Z.

I really liked the premise of this book. The ending was an absolute full stop let down with really no climax or resolution.
Characters and dialog left a lot to be desired. The adults in particular all seemed just as robotic as the the robots. There was nothing at all to differentiate the characters personalities or emotions. There are very few expressions of emotions except from children. These linear characters and and the bland dialogue really put me off. Not once does a character have any complex emotions or motives it was almost cartoonish. The children are little better, because they are children and tend to have simpler motives and emotions.
I felt like the first third of the book could have been condensed considerably and a lot more time could have been given to the children and their struggle.
The fact that this book was on a list of best science fiction for 2020 is either a disappointing statement on contemporary literature. Or, as I suspect, it was put on such a list because someone paid for it to be there. It’s not awful but not award worthy.

Chu’s new client, "Mr. Jones", claims to be a “wealthy, famous person” with powerful enemies, and he’s offering a ridiculous amount of money for a comprehensive tour. For Chu, this is a dream assignment, but then he begins to suspect that Mr. Jones is really North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. But Chu also has to worry about “Ms. Pang”, and his angry ex-girlfriend, Darla Jean Covington....

Not the best litrpg. Not the worst.
Revisado: 01-07-21
I found this book on a best of list and do not think it deserved to be on such lists. Having read other litrpg novels such as “ready player one” and “ascend online” I can say that “88 names” is not at the peak of its genre. At the same time I did enjoy the listen and would recommend if if you already enjoy the genre.

For centuries, the vineyards at Château Renard have depended on the talent of their vine witches, whose spells help create the world-renowned wine of the Chanceaux Valley. Then the skill of divining harvests fell into ruin when sorcière Elena Boureanu was blindsided by a curse. Now, after breaking the spell that confined her to the shallows of a marshland and weakened her magic, Elena is struggling to return to her former life. And the vineyard she was destined to inherit is now in the possession of a handsome stranger.

Great use of plant lore
Revisado: 12-27-19
Wonderful expose of plant lore and contemporary occultism 101. Story was rather predictable but still worth the read.
