What could I possibly say about this book that has not already been said? I've read a couple of very soft Sci-fi books in the past..more like soft YA What could I possibly say about this book that has not already been said? I've read a couple of very soft Sci-fi books in the past..more like soft YA Sci-fi so this was my first hard one and it was so absolutely AWESOME. I listened to the Audible version and the narration was fabulous. I just finished and I'm a little sad.... I want to listen to it again for the the first time. This is one of those books... one that I will be jealous of anyone else that gets to read it for the first time. Andy Weir has a new fan and I'm about to happily use one of my Audible credits on another of his works. Thank you Mr. Weir for such an epic ride through the galaxy. ...more
REALLY!!!!??? ok. OK. OK. OK. So, I had an inkling early on in this series what was going to happen in this series because I was accidently ran acrossREALLY!!!!??? ok. OK. OK. OK. So, I had an inkling early on in this series what was going to happen in this series because I was accidently ran across a spoiler. So I was a little prepared. BUT I WAS NOT THAT PREPARED. To end LIKE THAT? That way??!! SMHHHHHHH. The story until the very last part was great, as usual, but that ending knocks a star off. I understand something had to happen in some sort of fashion because I know that GC and the Will Trent series are intertwined.. but.... not like that. I've already read the first book in the Will Trent series; I stopped after book 1 realizing that it was connected in a way to GC. So now I can move on to Will but I'm sorta bummed now. I may need to read something happy and easy before jumping back in with Karen Slaughter. My heart needs recovery. ...more
OK... listened to this one straight through.... now on to the final Grant County book so I can pick back up on the Will Trent series. I really enjoyedOK... listened to this one straight through.... now on to the final Grant County book so I can pick back up on the Will Trent series. I really enjoyed this one although I still cringe A LOT at the very descriptive crime scenes. Once scene toward the end seemed to drag out a long time and was cringy the whole time. My jaw ached afterwards. Pun intended if you've read the book... ...more
Book 2 down and even better than the first! And so many more to go! Rolling right on in to book 3. I'm going back and forth between audible and kindleBook 2 down and even better than the first! And so many more to go! Rolling right on in to book 3. I'm going back and forth between audible and kindle.. the narrator is really good and I think has a great Dallas voice. I love the dynamics between Eve and Roarke and even grumpy Summerset. I got a feeling it won't be long before Eve win's Roarke's friend and house man's respect and even friendship. He and Roarke have a history that i'm definitely looking forward to finding out about. ...more

Until Aud[image][image] I saw this movie years ago just like many of you I would imagine. I'd never read the book and had no interest in it for years. Until Audible. Now I still LOVE to read with my eyeballs but there is something about listening to a great narrator that can really just bring you into the story and make you feel more. Kind of like you get a birds eye view of what's going down. I've found that with audible books I think I prefer the stuff usually outside my box of norm. I save my eyeballs for the normal stuff. I took an ambien earlier so this probably isnt making a lick of sense. I'll have to proof it tomorrow. Have I said anything about the book itself? hmm. The book was soo good. As creeepy as Lecter is, he's such a great character. I liked him and at the same time i was like... oooo girl you need to not like him. He like is in jail for eating folks, ya know? But he's just so polished. And then him and Clarice have some weird connection and the talk. And this crazy man is teaching her how to find another crazy man. It was awesome. I loved it. Will read again and again. Peace oUT! [image] Even this poor little jacked up poodle gonna have nightmares about some weird sh8T [image]...more
I've read so many books over the years.. so many amazing books, so many amazing series. As the years have gone by my tastes have changed and gone backI've read so many books over the years.. so many amazing books, so many amazing series. As the years have gone by my tastes have changed and gone back and forth multiple times. It's only in the last couple of years that I've developed a taste for fantasy and only VERY recently that I've dipped into sci-fi. And over all this time and all the stories and genres and series I've read I have finally come upon a series that has so clearly put itself at the very top of my list of favorites. No other series has made me feel so many "feels" and such anticipation. Although each book, in a way, focused on a particular group of characters they were all still intertwined so closely that all three books in the series was really just one big story. I listened to all three books and the narration was some of the best I've ever listened too and the characters became larger than life. Funny though.. the "character" that really affected me the most was the AI Aiden. THAT AI was just so.... I don't even have the words. Such "character" development along the way an actual JOY to listen to. The whole series was a joy. Joy is an odd word to use, I guess, in a book review but that's exactly what this series brought me. I cannot thank these authors enough for taking me on such an amazing literary journey that I will remember forever and be thankful for such an experience. ...more
Another totally amazing story by this author duo!! With the absolute most kick ass narration. This series is just so awesome and original.. like nothiAnother totally amazing story by this author duo!! With the absolute most kick ass narration. This series is just so awesome and original.. like nothing I've ever read/listened to before. I HIGHLY recommend getting the narration on this series. There is one thing I'm worried about after listening to this second installment..... I'm afraid the narration has ruined me for all other audible books. The actors bring everything to life... I felt like I was right there in the middle of everything. Amazing....more
WOW! Just holy flipping WOW! I'm at a loss for words for how to adequately describe all that this amazing story was. The format was so original, the nWOW! Just holy flipping WOW! I'm at a loss for words for how to adequately describe all that this amazing story was. The format was so original, the narration was out of this world, and the story kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen. Especially the last couple of hours. I cannot recommend enough splurging and getting the audio for this book. I used an audible credit and it was more than worth it. This was an adventure like I've never experienced before and I can only say thank you to these two authors for giving me such an experience. I loved it. I mean, just LOVED. I'm in awe. I will say that I'm not sure reading this would be near as enjoyable as listening to the audio. The major feels that the narration and sounds create.... AHMazing. Moving on to book 2; which is a new set of characters but I think we may see some one or two from Illuminae. ...more
