I likely won't be buying the next book in the series as long as Skippy's around to conveniently fix everything before anyone gets hurt. And the condescending nature of the beer can reminded me of the little green alien that showed up once in an episode of the Flintstones.'dumb dumb'. After that, it felt like a comedy sitcom like 'Alf', goofy alien saves the day. The story stopped being good after Skippy showed up.think, Jar Jar Binks with a brain. Some of the interactions between Skippy and Joe were entertaining Skippy discovers the internet.ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Hardly any real conflicts because the soda can went behind the scenes and magically solved the issues they were having. And how everything after that worked out conveniently fine for our heroes. What was most disappointing about Craig Alanson’s story? Yes, the reader gave a fantastic performance. Would you consider the audio edition of Columbus Day to be better than the print version? Based on the last two books, he read for me, I would say he has to be my favorite. He started out good, with his great voice, but what he has put into the last couple of books, I have listened to has just blown my mind. I don't believe I have ever heard one grow in their job as well as Bray. SCREW ONE SHEEP I have been listening to books since the cassette days. Some might roll their eyes at the serendipity of finding Skippy and all that he does to get them out of trouble, but if you can get past that you will love this. My favorites in the category and in order are, The Martian, Ready Player One, Bob and than this book. EMBRACE THE SUCK I am not saying this is my favorite, just that it will hit number one.

For instance there are ELDERS, CLIENT RACES, PATRONS, ANCIENT ARIFACTS AND THE COLLECTIVE. Nothing is really new, but a lot of the good old stuff is used. There is something here for all Sci-Fi fans. For example, just when I thought the book was going to enter a shoot-em up phase and become boring, we are introduced to SKIPPY, an A-HOLE AI, who is witty and funny.

Alanson has great timing and knows how to keep a story from going stale. YOU GOT SOME SPLAINING TO DO LUCY The book is over 16 hours long, and Jim The Impatient listened to all 16+ hours and was entertained all the way. To say I love it would be an IMPLIED DUH, but than OVERKILL IS UNDER RATED. This book has science galore, comedy galore, aliens galore and space battles. Now I am telling you this will be the next book to hit number one in Sci-Fi Contemporary. CHEESEBURGERS A few months ago I VOLUNTOLD you that BOB would have legions of fans.
