Quit Half Way

Would you try another book from Aaron Patterson and/or Bob Dunsworth?

I won't try another from this author.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I quit half way through the second book. I didn't care about the characters.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrators timing was off. Even simple phrases like a very bad guy were said in such a way it was hard to concentrate.

Was Cross Over Box Set: Complete WJA Series: Sweet Dreams, Dream On, In Your Dreams worth the listening time?

Not worth my time.

Action filled

This series of books were filled with action and breath holding moments. Loved the twisted ending.

Not bad...

It took me a while to get into the story. Keeping the characters straight was a challenge. Plots could have been thought out a bit better. However once into the books the pace was good. It kept me interested and I listened to all three books. Thank you for your hard work.

This is horrendous.

What would have made Cross Over Box Set: Complete WJA Series: Sweet Dreams, Dream On, In Your Dreams better?

First of all, one can tell the author Aaron Patterson has severe right wing leanings. To the point that it interferes with whatever story he was trying to convey. Second the story was over the top cliche and it had a terrible time following it's own storyline. Third, Aaron Patterson cannot write. He's has no more grasp of writing and the English language than an 8th grader. I had to wonder how the hell someone this bad got published. Then I did research and found he created his own publishing company and published his own books.There is no way anyone could make this piece of drivel better.

Has Cross Over Box Set: Complete WJA Series: Sweet Dreams, Dream On, In Your Dreams turned you off from other books in this genre?

No. I still like mystery/thrillers. Competent writers like, Childs, Balducci and Sandford

How could the performance have been better?

Dunsworth was pretty bad at accents and could not pull off a women's persona. It may have been the horrible material he had to work with though.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Cross Over Box Set: Complete WJA Series: Sweet Dreams, Dream On, In Your Dreams?

The amount of crap that I would cut from these books would leave the result the size of a Bazooka Joe gum comic. Which is probably where this "work" should be published.

Any additional comments?

I don't know if you caught this...but I think the WJA series sucks.

Strange

But spellbinding Twists and turns are eerie. End j
Unexpected. Guess I have no imagination

Good

If you could sum up Cross Over Box Set: Complete WJA Series: Sweet Dreams, Dream On, In Your Dreams in three words, what would they be?

Different premise. I like booked 1 and 2. Book 3 was stupid

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

No really. It was good.

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

No

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Any additional comments?

Glad I got it as a box set. I would've been mad if I purchased book 3. Again, 1 and 2 are good. 3 is stupid.

All to much

These books were very far fetched and hard to listen to. Very confusing! By the last book I was starting to think it was a Matrix knock off!!!
Also what happened to Solomans book with no words on the pages that loose end freaked me out!! This trilogy got on my nerves I'm glad I bought it on a deal of the day!! Or it would have been returned.

Do not waste your money

Would you try another book written by Aaron Patterson or narrated by Bob Dunsworth?

Doubtful

What will your next listen be?

N/A

Would you be willing to try another one of Bob Dunsworth’s performances?

Doubtful

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Cross Over Box Set: Complete WJA Series: Sweet Dreams, Dream On, In Your Dreams?

Really ridiculous storyline, constantly jumping around with no plot that can be followed. Nothing is even remotely believable. The narration is very choppy and annoying.
Every few words. sound like it has. a period, Not sure if it is the way it was written or the way the narrator chose to read it.
The ending is particularly asinine.

I am a fan of bizarre stories and will buy into Stephen King, Zombie stories etc. But these books attempt to be based in reality, with a lot of villains that can not be defeated, then suddenly roll over and are dead. A couple of plot lines simply disappear.(unless I fell asleep and missed the resolution. Yikes!

Any additional comments?

I rarely if ever write reviews, my belief is that everyone should make their own decision, but I really disliked this series. Sa, because it could have been interesting if the author had chosen a plot and stuck with it......

Poorly read, but not well written either

Would you try another book written by Aaron Patterson or narrated by Bob Dunsworth?

No on both counts

What was most disappointing about Aaron Patterson’s story?

Its written in the style of a teenager. Very unimaginative, and predictable. It seems to be pandering to the lowest common denominator

How did the narrator detract from the book?

He reads as though he can only see 5 words of the book at a time, incorrect inflection, poor voices. Not really my cup of tea at all.

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Um, let me think, No. Oh, wait, it had an end. Well I assume it did, I didnt really get that far.

Any additional comments?

Listen to this if you've never read a book before, but if you have, probably best avoided.
