Unabridged Audiobook
Every bit as good as “Winterworld” and just when you thought everyone was safe there’s another twist. Narrators are very good as well & add to my enjoyment of the audiobook. Roll on part 3.
great read
As with book 1, narration is great. Was excited for the sequel but was disappointed some what with story line. Like the book enough though, to continue with the 3rd book ... I need to find out the fate of these people!
This book is a triple decker kale and dog feces sandwich, topped with parsnip sauce. I understand writing in the first person present tense may have been intended to be artistic or give the sense of immediacy to the story, but it felt like an artist was trying to paint me a picture using black slimy rotten banana peels ground up and combined with coffee ground hematemesis in a paste. Sure it’s art, but please next time use paint. The format choice created a major problem for the story that I could never get past. We have access to the main characters head, the so-called super genius who is the only hope for humanity; and yet his thoughts are mundane and often idiotic. The other characters often act in reverence to the protagonist, but it’s laughable, as the thoughts and actions of the super genius would be more characteristic of Homer Simpson rather than the saviour of humanity. There were numerous other problems, the only one of which I will mention is that this story also committs the cardinal sin of being boring. This might be the authors secret super power: to take a plot about an intergalactic battle with an alien superintelligence and make it boring. He does this effortlessly. If I would give negative stars I would. Ps. There was nothing wrong with the narrators that I could tell, but I did not give them full marks in the same way that the coach of a sports team often gets canned when things have gone very wrong.
I was thrilled to see a sequel to The Long Winter. The narrators are excellent and really bring you in to the story. If I were holding this book, I wouldn't be able to put it down. :) I am partial to scifi fantasy and anything time/space related. Sometimes things seem a little farfetched but hey, it's a story. LOL. On to book three...
Lots of twists and turns, love it!
The plot of this book was soooooo extraordinary that I was never sure what was going to happen next. The narrator’s voices exhanced all the climactic points making it so hard for me to “put this book down”! Can’t wait to read the third book!!
the book was great. it told a great story.
