A “must read”

Revisado: 11-26-24

This is a brutally honest look at mental health and how to look past the stigmas and have empathy for those you don’t understand. These lessons really go beyond mental health and into the realm of seeing people as human beings deserving of love. ♥️♥️♥️

So much fun!

Revisado: 07-05-24

This book is so much fun! Will W is a phenomenal narrator and brought the characters to life in a great way! Scalzi may be my new all-time favorite author with this light-hearted sci-fi “get away”! I couldn’t stop listening and yet didn’t want it to end either! As always, the plot twists are fun and quirky, as are the characters!
My only complaint is the language but the “f-word” is ubiquitous these days anyway!

Interesting “apocalyptic” take

Revisado: 06-11-24

So nice to have a non-Zombie story! If you’ve paid any attention at all to the news in the last couple decades you can totally see some of this happening. Yes, conspiracy theories, yes, doomsday preppers, yes, the title is true about violence! But aside from some atrocious grammar and non-Missouri pronunciations, I rather enjoyed this! Kept me interested & wanting to see where the author was going to finish with his main characters and honestly, I’d like to see a book 2!

Disappointed

Revisado: 05-26-24

I was really hoping for a good K9/cop relationship story but the dog was almost an afterthought. I won’t dismiss the author completely, but I just was never drawn in by any of the characters. Maybe I missed some things because it’s a spin-off series?

Like a bad middle school research paper

Revisado: 03-04-24

Short, choppy sentences. Paragraphs are formulaic, as would be expected in a 6th grade writing. Narration is boring & monotone but could be due to the poor writing. I listened for about 8 minutes before I could no longer stand either. And I’m pretty tolerant.

Not my thing but got better

Revisado: 11-13-23

I really wanted to like this more, but overall it was still pretty good. Just not really my thing.
I disagree with the 1* comment about narration. Voices correspond to characters (there are gay characters, so that may have confused the listener?)
The graphic nature of sex scenes was off-putting. The use of the “f-word” too prolific for me.
Very interesting premise for a story, but I lost steam at the end, right after it seemed to gain it!
I actually found the “religious references” to be unique and interesting, albeit historically/biblically inaccurate, but it added to the nature of a future world view.

Not sorry I listened to it & I would definitely give the author another chance.

Love the series

Revisado: 08-14-23

I love thé familial “drama” that goes along with the crime solving. Good, clean listening.

We all know that girl …

Revisado: 06-05-23

The one that keeps making stupid decisions. Yes, I too want to shake the main character so many times. But that’s part of the story! I enjoyed the book, find the mystery intriguing and love the narration. If I marked books down bc of a character’s “character trait” it seems wrong! Just don’t be that person in real life! ;-)

Fabulous!

Revisado: 04-02-23

Makes me think of the old time radio shows (before my time)! Great actors, intriguing story with lots of twists! Couldn’t wait to listen to each new episode!

Stick with it

Revisado: 03-07-23

Yes, it is a bit confusing … especially as an audiobook, but it makes sense in the end. An interesting set of events, twists & turns too. Overall, not bad. It was a nice change.
