Three wasted hours in my life

Revisado: 10-09-22

It amazes me “Verity” is on the NYT best seller list. It is a wonder it got published at all. It is soft porn hidden in a cliche mystery with two demential characters . I only got thru half of the book since I wanted to see if it got any better. It did not. Good thing it was free or else I would return it.

What a mess

Revisado: 11-30-21

I can’t understand the ratings for this long meaningless book . It must be a YA book for people who don’t know anything about WW2 or Nazis . Half way thru and cannot finish .

A positive future world

Revisado: 10-19-21

One of the best SF books ever written . As fresh today as it was fifty years ago. I still remember that last scene in the film as the baby emerged on the screen as the music sounded in the background. That scene in the book is equally dramatic .If only it was true.

A moving book

Revisado: 09-06-21

Everyone alive should be required to read this book . The horrible reality of global nuclear war is something humans can avoid or start. If started the end of humanity will be the result. This moving book tells the human toll.

Long boring book

Revisado: 08-18-21

I tried to like this book but the story was unrealistic ( even for King) of a hit man setting up shop in a suburban neighborhood.and the story within the story was even worse, of the hit man writing a very poor biography of himself.I guess it got better at the end like most King books but getting there was like starting a 2000 mile trip in stalled , bumper to bumper traffic . So many good books available to listen to and so little time left to read them. This aimless book was not one of them.

Should be a movie

Revisado: 07-25-21

This is written like a political thriller but it is all true. The book is an outstanding summary of Trumps last year and the people , good and bad, who played a role in the drama. The chapter on the insurrection is some of the best non fiction writing I have read and listened . The performance by January Lavoy only adds to the drama. Read this book.

Poor in every way

Revisado: 06-05-21

Formula conspiracy story from the Patterson fast food book factory. My last Patterson and company book. His books are actually dumbing down his readers .

A masterpiece on so many levels

Revisado: 05-26-21

I read this this book in 2013 when it first came out. Back then it was a powerful experience. Much in our country has changed since then especially with race relations . I listened to this novel again just now and have gained so much more insight into what Grisham was telling us eight years ago. Every American should read this heartfelt yet terrifying book. A true masterpiece of historical fiction. I would give it ten stars if I could.

The Best SF book since The Martian

Revisado: 05-13-21

If I could give this amazing book ten stars I would. A technical book at its core but a surprisingly emotional book as well. A unique take on first encounter with an alien intelligent life form ... from both perspectives .
