An incredible saga

What did you love best about The Untethered?

The were multiple story lines and merged together as the plot unfolded.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved how Roble never gave up on his dream and along the way he gathered other like minded people who used his strength to attain their dreams.

What does Fred Filbrich bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The audiobook allowed the reader to experience flight in a unique and riveting way as the book unfolded.

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

I book may be 21 hours long, but it didn't feel like that I was drawn into the story along with the characters.

I really enjoyed The Untethered !

I really enjoyed this book. It had really great character development. It was not a cast of thousands that you need a glossary to track. Just deeply developed, fully realized characters. I also enjoyed that it was original. I had no idea the direction it would take or where these characters would lead. I listened to the audio version and the 21 hours went by incredibly fast! Great job on the narration as well.

I like a book that has the protagonists that are smart, able and interesting. Well done.

Gripping Plotline

Where does The Untethered rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's the first audiobook I've listened to in completion so I'd have to rate it as the very best!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Roble - the way his story unfolds is thrilling, and his narrative is told in a way that makes it so easy for the reader to relate

What about Fred Filbrich’s performance did you like?

He had enthusiasm in all of the right places without ever sounding overly dramatic. I listened to this audiobook during my runs and I have to say - I was anything but bored! In fact, the edge-of-your-seat narration truly kept me going!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The way the author described the aspect of flight - it was truly otherworldly!

Any additional comments?

It's rare to find a story line which can be appreciated by so many different types of readers. As a lover of thrillers, this novel appealed to me, but I could see my husband enjoying it just as much, with his military experience and appreciation for aviation. I truly think there's something in here for everyone to enjoy.

Good first try

The plot was all over the place. The author is trying too hard to sound like Ayan Rand and is not providing a strong story plot. Over all this book showed talent, but the author needs a good experienced mentor

Best book read this year

I wish I could have read this story 40 years ago. I think it would have changed my life.
