Good book but choppy writing

Book was good overall by narration suffered from the large amount of Wilson said, Schmidt said, Wilson said, Schmidt said dialogue tags

I believe the short sory is hard to do.

If you could sum up The B-Team in three words, what would they be?

I enjoyed the story. I am appreciative John Scalzi's skill to tell a story, screen play, or to help make theater in my mind with written words. I am looking for and reading the stuff he done. I think author is adept writing for television, theater, or movie script story production. Characters are developed but there is a common culture, and era of time of current popular culture. I think tis is something that older readers will discern.

The narration is excellent and performs great. The narration performance is as much the story as the written material. Not everybody gets excellent evaluation from me. However, it does seem so at times. I believe the level of pnarration performance talent out here is high in the common market of narration performers.

I await the science fiction next production from Mr. Scalzi. I will read collections of even shorter stories he has recently appears.

What did you like best about this story?

Not a short story.

Have you listened to any of William Dufris’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

None I recall..
I am seeking to experience more.

Too much “...he said...she said...”

I liked the story more than I expected, but the phrases “he said...”, “she said...”, and “they said...”, was so often repeated that it would have been a distraction had I not remembered that I only paid $.69...perspective changed...it’s a good story!😊

I LIKE THE STORY AND WILL BUY ALL THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS BUT I WOULD RATHER HAVE IT ALL IN ONE BITE - WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MARCH TO FINISH IT!

B Team is exactly first part of Human Division

I thought this would be a continuation of Human Division. It is not don’t need this book if you listen to that one.

GREAT Story!!! This is Episode 1. Do them all in order! 😱

5 stars is great!
_________________________________________________- I really like this series of about 13 short stories that are vignettes of "The Human Division" by John Scalzi. I rarely give 5-stars but most of these are I that category. I wish I could write like this . . . .The man is gifted. 😱

Terrific narration brings short story to life!

I would highly recommend this small novella to all science fiction lovers as one of the better short space odysseys a available for purchase. The narration by William Drufus stood out especially, bringing the diverse set of characters to life and imbuing each with their own unique speech and personality. The story itself may leave minimal pieces hanging -the only downside-, but it immerses the listener throughout the story from beginning to end at an exciting pace while using the perspectives of each relatable character to propel the plot forward. I found my experience enjoyable and I highly recommend the story, the author, and especially the engaging narrator for anyone who may be interested in enjoying a solid thrilling science fiction novella.

Must read scifi

an amazing addition to the old man War series Universe of sci-fi writing. if you like sci-fi and have only read old man's War definitely pick up this Splinter story in the same universe with the same characters that you meet in the old man's War series some of the best science fiction writing ever in The History of Science Fiction. if you like science fiction I will bet that you will love this series.

i cant take the constant he said she said they

he said they said she said after every sentence is driving me crazy. good gravy. insane how many times this is done even in a scene with one character. HORRIBLE
