Enjoyable & Refreshing

I wouldn't put this in the "thriller" category necessarily, but Transmission is definitely an interesting story with some callbacks to classic scifi. I find this nod to the greats, and really the genre as a whole, tasteful and refreshing given the various modern trends out there. Some of the story is predictable and sometimes oddly repetitive, but it definitely captured my imagination and even had me choosing to sit on the sofa listening with my dogs rather than playing Xbox or watching a stream service. Definitely recommend.

good YA book for adolescents and adults

This is a good book for adolescents and adults alike. Adults should listen to what children of all ages have to say Some of it may just be useful. I enjoyed listening to it on audible. The speaker does a good job.

Unbelievable main character

I find it hard to believe that the author has ever even seen a 13 year old boy let alone met one so I don't understand why he chose to depict one as his main character. The way the main character acts and that other characters respond to him is entirely unbelievable in my opinion. the lack of immaturity and the way adults listen to and blindly follow him is unbelievable. the plot is simple, shallow, and derivative

Buckle Up !

I've been struggling with ADD and even listening to a book hasn't been easy. Then, I found this book. The writing is so well done that you can't help but picture the whole thing like your right there. I listened straight through, totally drawn into the story. Think of the movie Independence Day and how exciting it was...yes, that good. This is the first book I've read from this author & I can't wait to check out more. P.S. I really appreciated the life the narrator brought to it as well so checking his stuff out too.

Great story, narration is basic but acceptable.

Great story, narration is fine but average.. there is little voice or tone differences between characters whether male or female.
