The book, and the series thus far, has been amazing. Well written with a great twist on the genre. I really like the way he takes a basically decent kid and has him.play an evil character. This creates a fun juxtaposition.

Great book lots of different stories about a lot of different bright minds. Really enjoyed I would advise not listening if your distracted because you will miss a lot. Very simulating.
Omg… that narrator…why…?
Review from Awaken Online: Ember →
I don’t know what the story was about because didn’t even make it to the end of Ch 2 before had to turn it off… Not saying he isn’t a good person, just don’t understand why anyone thought it was a good idea to use him.
Finn huh?
Review from Awaken Online: Ember →
The main character in this book starts off slow with a very depressing backstory. Quickly though the story moves on to the main attraction which is Awaken Online. I enjoyed thoroughly the process in which Finn figures out a different approach to conquering the same obstacles as other characters in previous books. In a lot..
Excellent Book

I like the story… and I like the narration. It found myself listening every free moment I had!
Terrible Narration
Review from Awaken Online: Catharsis →
I’ve listened to a fair number of audio books by now and I haven’t always liked new narrators when I hear them at first. Up til now they have always grown on me fairly quickly.This guy is irredeemable. The book may be decent but after several attempts to listen I am afraid I’ll never know.Flat..
Others are wrong

I feel this is a very well written book and great narration. I didn’t find the middle lagging.
Overwrought Dreck
Review from The Moneychangers →
This book isn’t as process-wonk good as “Hotel” nor as compelling as “Airport”. It lapses into the nihilistic, cynical hedonism of the 1970s in Part II and the story just…stops. Hailey resorts to dumb teasers “little did he know that he’d see _____ again.” Read Hotel and Airport. Leave this one alone.
This arc of the story is lousy. Authour is getting lazy and making a super AI to solve all his problem.
Enjoyed being filled in on the background, as I did Riley’s. The side quests are necessarily smaller in scope, but fit nicely in with the overall story arch.
