Review from Awaken Online: Catharsis →
The main character is a teenage boy with self-confidence and responsibility issues. He spends nearly every moment lamenting his life and the unfair advantage of the wealthy, without realizing that the rich kids are mean to him because he’s a dweeb. No thanks. I just can’t get into a loser protagonist.
Review from The Narrows →
Great story. creepy, interesting. Easy to listen to narrator. I will definitely read more from Ronald Malfi.
Never quit a book after only 4 hours before. Where to start… the narration seems sarcastically done, which is understandable given the content. The characters are inconsistant… It has only one remotely interesting plot point. The ‘bad guy’ has a legitimate reason to hate the protagonist and is actually sympathetic. Even if the author was..

Another great book by the brilliant Travis Bagwell. Start with book 1 (Catharsis.) It’s especially good if you have enjoyed playing WoW, like me (Spinnaker on Uther/Runetotem.)
Review from The Disordered Mind →
The author shared so many interesting scientific discoveries about how the brain functions and how dysfunction leads to many of the mental illnesses experienced by children and adults.
I struggled to finish this book as the author was too in love with evocative language for mundane actions. I also felt his side characters acted counter to logic and reason at times. Had he gone on to justify those actions, that would have been fine, but he didn’t.
Review from Dawn of War →
Dawn of War, my eighth read/listen from author Aaron Hodges picks up where the second book in the series left off. Attention-grabbing, enjoyable page-turning read, the epic conclusion to the Legend of The Gods Trilogy. Narrator David Stifel’s narration adds to the book’s enjoyment. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am..
