Review from The Ministry for the Future →
Today I finished listening to Ministry For The Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. It’s a fantastic book. If you like audiobooks, I highly recommend listening to it, as it’s extremely well narrated by a whole cast of readers. My one complaint about the book is the way that they used blockchain for money and for..
Review from Dragons in the Snow →
This is an important and interesting topic, but this story is excruciatingly slow-going. We had a first go and then I tried again in case we were too harsh. Over 30 minutes, I was still waiting for an avalanche forecaster to actually write his forecast. I heard about his favorite coffee and his pet parrot..
I really enjoyed this book. The story was not as typical a haunted house story as some are.

It was a huge time suck and not a book I would ever recommend…
I found the story to be very intriguing. The narrator makes everything sound so polite and week and the same voice.

I only made it halfway through and was just so bored I had to stop. What seems to be the main plot seems kind of interesting. But there is SO MUCH filler information that just bogs it down. I just couldn’t stick with it and didn’t care about the characters enough to find out what..
The use of so many readers worked quite well overall. I was a bit off-put by the inability of some readers to pronounce Swiss place-names — a reader who’s narrating the actions of a character who lives in Zurich should be able to handle “Strasse” and “Kirche” and the like. The growling reader with the..
