"Forbidden" explores cliché themes with a fairly predictable plot-line and superficial characters whose motivations are unbelievable and whose personalities are difficult to relate to. While not an overly boring read (much thanks to the excellent narration by Henry Leyva), "Forbidden" feels adolescent, leaving much to be desired for in a professional work of adult fiction.

Some novels are purely entertaining, while others are dry, yet philosophically intriguing. Occasionally there comes a story that is both gripping, and philosophically challenging. Ender's Game is one such book.

Intriguing, well written, and superbly acted (probably my favourite audible performance to date), this is a classic that every lover of Sci-Fi should own!

You will LOVE this book.

Full of constant, thrilling action, awesome technology and world-building, and believable characters whom you end up really caring about, Ready Player One is easily one of the funnest books I've read in years!

While not particularly provocative or deep, the pure entertainment value of such an exciting, wild story so well-told is enough to make even the pickiest of readers just eat this book up!

Plus - all that 80's and Gamer geekyness give it an extra-fun, nostalgic flair that will totally make you fall in love with it if you grew up in that decade or consider yourself a gamer in any way.

Just friggen READ IT already!

Some fans of speculative fiction might consider this a masterpiece. However, if you enjoy a good story with interesting three-dimensional characters, then this story is NOT for you. While the ideas explored in Childhood's End were intriguing, the lack of any interesting plot or relatable characters made it hard for the story to really capture my attention.

The performance was good, but without a solid story behind it, it ended up falling flat.

This is one of my favourite Gaiman stories ever! Although technically a story for children, it's full of that magical charm, creepiness and wit that makes all of Gaiman's work so engaging. A great read!

Freedom (TM) is the second book of the fast-paced, exciting and hugely intriguing story about a possible future not too far off. There is a solid and incredibly exciting plot with a rich variety of interesting and unlikely heroes, set against terrifying villains with near unlimited resources. The ideas Suarez proposes are surprisingly original, yet seem not only likely - but almost inevitable. The performance is good in general, but some of the voices Jeff Gurner uses get a little distracting at points. Still - one of the best audio books I've ever listened to!

Rich, interesting characters, intriguing, slow-revealing mysteries, an incredibly detailed and original universe, and fantastic dialogue all brought together into one wildly adventurous epic tale! And even amongst the adventure and struggle, Sanderson manages to artfully discuss the deep questions of human existence, religion and philosophy. Paired with Michael Kramer's excellent performance, the Mistborn series should be on everyone's virtual shelf! Truly brilliant!
