I have enjoyed many of Gena's books in the past. I am surprised at how little I cared for this story. It is torture porn.The pain and torture never stops. Characters are shallow and most die quickly. The story borders on nonsensical at times. The narrator does her best, but not a lot to work with in my opinion.

The story is funny, from small chuckles to crying laughing at times. It is unique, sometimes painful reminders about climate change, and very funny. I found the voice actors to be delightful. I like the story, I hope we get more from Kate and Kate.

You are thrown into this story with no premise whatsoever. Eventually some of the context will be explained.

As a story goes it is entertaining. I was constantly trying to figure out what was going on. There are several nauseating historical figures that appear, I found that unsettling. Much of the story is unsettling, I don't know that I got the point or context of the story. The ending is odd and fairly unsatisfying.

There is much to mull through. I am not sorry I listened to this, I just wish that many of the story gaps were closed by the end.

I enjoy Drew Hayes books and this was no exception. The story is an interesting premise about a world with villains and superheroes and their coexistence. It’s action packed and I cared about the characters.

I enjoyed the narration as well. The narrator had a great voice and did a nice job switching between characters and genders.

Insightful history lesson about anti-fascists in America. Well worth your time to listen to the history of The Minutemen.

Hilariously Funny Story About The End of Times

This book is a story about an angel and a demon who decide it might be worth trying to save humanity from the end of the world.

The sometimes subtle dry wit of the book is almost non-stop. The characters are everyone you would expect at the end of the world and more. My favorite scene is the corporate retreat that becomes a little too real. I adored the characters and the simple comments that hint at how the characters feel about one another.

The narration is phenomenal, so many voices to create and it was done so well. My favorite voice was Red's. The dialogue was rich and entertaining, top notch stuff.

I made my family read or listen to this book, just so I could laugh about the story with them. In the end, we are all flawed, half angel and half demon, but we do our best to take care of those we love.

I was intrigued by the premise of the story, but it was executed in a way I felt was bland and I was not captivated by the characters or the story. It was interesting enough to pass away time while I was driving.

I enjoyed everything about this book; the narration, the story and especially Ove. I was so excited to hear the story I was excited to drive to work and sometimes, just to hear the end of a chapter, I took an extra spin around the block.

Ove is a complicated man, he starts off in the book as a very tight fisted, gruff, sad man. As he takes interest in his new neighbors, you learn about Ove's life. The story is a beautiful blend of his past and his present.

I will be listening to this story again.

I actually liked the narration the best, the narrators voice kept me interested longer than the story.

In my opinion the story was a hot mess. I found the premise to not be clever and just did not enjoy this book or the characters.

I could not bring myself to finish the book. I did not get attached to the main character. The story was incredibly repetitive and the story became increasingly odd, in a way I just did not care about finding out how it ends.
