I love Peter Hamilton's books. I listen to them over and over; but why did Audible first post book three, then book two? I'm not going to start this series until they post book one.

I have been waiting for a long time to dive into these books. I didn’t expect Audible to do this but I am so glad they did. With work and college, my recreational reading is pretty much nonexistent these days. I listen to audiobooks at work and this has been the summer of Travis McGee for me. Every one of the stories does exactly what they are supposed to do.

The Narrator was also a very good choice. He doesn’t actually talk Florida to well but he handles characters very distinctly.

I’m just not real crazy about Scott Brick reading the book. That may be because he read a few other books I just hated. His emotional expression sounds so forced. This story is a bit tedious at first but I eventually got into it.

I have either read or listened to every Dune book by both Frank Herbert and Brian Herbert. It has been a while so when it started naming characters and giving background right off, I had to strain my memory. Truthfully, the set of books that precede this one, turns out was just not so memorable.

I am trying to decide if it is Brian Herbert or Kevin Anderson who brings the element of bubblegum sci-fi to these books. I read Anderson’s Star Wars trilogy years ago but that is supposed to be bubble gum so I can’t tell.

Even though I just cannot bring myself to give it a glowing review, I just have to follow this series. I also do other horrible things to myself like binge drinking and going to the gym.

I really have a hard time putting it down (or pausing it). I see most of the other members complaining about the reader, I can be really critical of readers in my reviews but I just never thought of it listening to this book. They may have a good point, but I didn’t think of it until I saw their complaints. He is a good reader but maybe not the best choice for this book. It is annoying to hear him refer to OS Ten as OS “X”. Someone should have caught that! Steve Jobs would have eviscerated him for it, Windows user scumbag……

Because they had to make it a point that the author has a PhD in robotics, I expected some good old hard science fiction, it was not. The audio production was excellent, but the book was poor. There is no real explanation for the technology.

I read this book about 10 years ago, and I don’t remember it being so sappy!

Good Book, good reader, kept me interested until the end.

They are doing a great job with the production on these books, The readers are fantastic!
Of course they are the Dune books by Herbert so they are great. This one was as good as the rest.

Spin was great but i read it, this book i tried to listen to and lost interest and later i read it, but Scott Brick is a great reader.

And a great reader. This was my least favorite of the Dune books when i read them and I listened to an audio version I got from the library a few years ago. But this reader drew me in to this story like never before and I caught more of it than i ever did before. I look forward to hear Chapterhouse.
