My sense of humour tends more towards the British because if I can rapidly guess the punchline or the 'humour' is really demeaning and / or mean, it's not humour it doesn't rate a twitch of the cheek muscles let alone the lips or eyes.

This was really really enjoyable, probably because I loved DnD in college, the two main characters are written well and have great interactions, the announcer is incredibly creative, and the action just keeps going.

The narrator is incredibly talented with his voice. I'd swear the female voices [Princess Donut for example] doesn't sound like a male voice straining at its audible limits. And he does a fantastic job interpreting the announcer's dialog!

I want to keep reading, sadly none of the library systems I have access to have the book and interlibrary loan doesn't include audio since the '00s when the government started cutting back on funding for the arts and libraries had to cut costs somewhere.

It's been decades since I first read this book and loved it. So much so that its title has stuck in my mind all this time. I thought, should I ever find a library with a copy in it, I would reread it and so...

My tastes have changed considerably since I was in school and not yet in the world. Maybe it's the need to understand human nature and the complex technology we have to day that has me amazed at the simplicity of this story now, I don't know. I find it more.. interesting.. than enjoyable. Not awful, really... but not something I can savor.. or reread.

Like some comic book series we know, a character is bumped off and the authors find an interesting [or well known] way to bring them back, to continue on. Glad to see it.

I'll rant again about how there needs to be a 'previously on The Dresden Files' section. This is too far in for me to read all the prior books to stay up on the references held in a book. BUT I'm not going to let this stop me from reading on.

This storyline is better than some of the other books in the series, not sure if it's me or the author that had a slump at some point that showed thru.

I'm always so excited when I find a good, hard science, science fiction story. I can count on this author to provide a good story the same way Isaac Asimov and Michael Crighton do.

Great new ideas, not too much stalling to present the underlying theories, some humour, some education on bias, and the murderer not revealed too early.

It was good to be so interested in turning off the tv to read text.

The story line is not a traditional smooth flow but more like the mind following random thoughts that just happen to be chronological, sort of. It shares alot of pain and the transitions from one perspective and/or time to another is not readily called out so sometimes there's a bit of confusion until a word is shared to get you caught up.

I felt like I was sitting in a car with square tires on; alot of shaking and bouncing of my comfort level and expectations but reminding myself to take a breath and relax, made it worthwhile.

A really great read.
