Phule Me Twice

Phule's Company, Book 4

De: Robert Asprin, Peter J. Heck

Narrado por: Noah Michael Levine

You can't mistake just anyone for a Phule.

When the planet Zenobia is invaded, Captain Willard Phule is made their military advisor. The first priority for Phule's Company: staying out from underfoot of the peaceful, dinosaurlike Zenobians....

But, unbeknownst to the Zenobians, they're getting two Phules for the price of one. A robot double of Phule appears out of nowhere. And only the real Phule knows who the real Phule is....

didn't Phule me!

as expected from Mr Aspirin, witty, light, and entertaining! a fast paced scifi / comedy. I highly recommend the series to anyone that enjoys this genre.

this is definitely freaky like Friday

so it's a really good book it focuses a lot more on the Omega mob as a whole rather than Captain phule but it is a little slow and hard to get into in my opinion at certain points . it's still really good and really funny especially towards the end when everything wraps up in a way that gives certain people I'm not going to mention any names( General blitzkrieg) their comeuppance for being total d-bags

Classic story marred by jarring performance

I hate it when the performer mispronounces words. Perhaps the most jarring was the repeated mispronunciation of adjutant. There were others, several others. Every time it was done, I was ripped out of the story and brought back to the quality of the reading. Isn't there an editor who listens to these things? I checked a couple of major dictionary sites, the guy just read the words and guessed, albeit poorly, at the pronunciation of the words, and no one corrected him. Bah!

Self absorbed spoiled children?

I am halfway through this book and I am struggling to stick with it. This group has gone from hardscrabble messes to a likable team oriented group of soldiers who look out for each other to…. Well, a bunch of self-centered spoiled children who whine about anything that doesn’t make them money or disrupts their now cushy lives. I really hope that this will turn out to be a’life lesson’ that they will learn from and grow out of because I am most definitely not rooting for most of them anymore.

Update: okay, I finished the book and it did get better. The focus turned from a bunch of people acting like spoiled brats (all at their captain’s expense) and they worked together to solve the problems that came along. They never did acknowledge that they were all spoiled by the captain’s money or show appreciation for it, though.

Humour

I love these. Light read. Laughs. Aliens. Robots. Army intelligence. What could go wrong?

Loads of Fun

Just more fun but be shore to look twice or you will find yourself in over your head.

solid scifi from decades ago.

a simple story with no real consequences. but a lot of fun. if you want a story to simply enjoy without much thought, go for it. but it's funny to realize how much of the coming info revolution the author missed. I'm sure I'll do no better though. time makes liars or saints of us all.

Still Lots of Fun

I’m guessing that if you are looking at this book, you’ve enjoyed the previous books in the series. If so, this one continues the silly entertainment that the others bring.

Just plain fun

This has been such a fun series. I would recommend this series to everyone. I can’t wait for the next book to be released. The only problem is that I finish a book in just one day.

fun

good, fun story that moves at a satisfactory pace. narrator kept the characters straight via their distinctive voices if not their appearance. lol
