Latest book I have read.

Just slogged through this God awful audiobook on John Lennon's assassination.



What made it so terrible is the voice actor decided to speak in different voices for every person in the book. And he could not fake an English accent to save his life.

"The Crimson Capsule" by Stanton Coblentz. An old sci-fi book from the late 1960s which prophesizes a world where nuclear winter has caused an extreme greenhouse effect, climate change, the melting ice caps, rising sea levels, massive coastal flooding, etc.

I hate audiobooks

@Fluffybull They are great for walking or driving but this one was only done to see how truly bad it was.

@Justme22 I just listen to music when driving and I wouldn't listen to something that cut me off from the world when walking.

@Fluffybull The one thing I will say is that books don't cut you off simply because they are not loud enough. Its just a voice so I can still be aware of what is around me but I take as a chance to learn something as well. Well sometimes I learn other times I just get annoyed.

Patterson will crank out anything it seems. But he did write about the Epstein fiasco and all his connections a decade before it was news

@Slade He is so prolific I often wonder if it is really him.

@Justme22 He could have a whole staff writing

@Slade Like they did with Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys? 🤔

I love this review.

Oh, that sounds horrible. I’ve never used an audiobook, I was always curious, though.

@bijouxbroussard Not really into audio books, though I've listened to a few over the years. BUT I love "full cast dramatizations" and old radio plays.

@ChipmunkErnie Give me an Orson Welles production or version of Suspense or Lights out! any day.

@Justme22 I'm in the middle of a YOUR TRULY, JOHNNY DOLLAR marathon myself.
