Man, that was an adventure! Complex story with several simultaneous venues and people but it all was held together. It was so cinematic, like a movie in my head and all the cuts from scene to scene. Boom! like Sam would say. And the narration was suberb. And humour, and romance, and violence, adventure, total thriller.
I'm totally high on this book, but I only just finished, didn't I :)
Recommend. Love the author, gonna check what else books are available by this narrator.

One of the sweetest stories I've listened to in a while. Usually don't like these radio drama type books, but this worked really well. Liked his and her voices. Loved the Finland connection, especially as they were pretty much correct, points to the author!

I read this book as the little erotica story it was written to be. And it was good as such. But i've been looking for a book with a blind main character, that wouldn't be a cliche and which wouldn't end in he or she regaining eyesight. As a blind person myself I find it insulting that happy ending seems to require becoming able-bodied. Of course this was just a skecht of a story but I enjoyed it. And I also enjoyed the massage/fysiotherapy theme, since I myself enjoy being massaged a lot, but only as a physical therapy. I kinda wish someone would grap this storyline and make it into a full lenght novel. I'd read it.

I had high hopes for this book, but right from the get-go there was something missing. Somehow the writing felt unfinished, details and scenes not thought through, characters not coming alive. I've noticed that for me, when I'm really into a book, I can visualize the characters and their movements and everything is fluid and life-like. Here, my visualization resembled more like a 1990's video game. Details were mentioned, like the main characters' height difference and then never mentioned or utilized again, story development felt jumpy etc.
Even the narration or the narrators didn't work for me this time. Main male character was supposed to have a british accent, but I never really found out what kind. Sometimes he sounded very working class (nothing wrong with that) sometimes there was a hint that he was supposed to have a posh accent, but never conclusive.
So, I ended up not finishing this book.

Not a fan of multi-cast narration

Pretty good story, though I would have liked it to have gone deeper into the development of the AI learning human behaviour etc.
Technically there was nothing wrong with the multi-cast narration, but I'm just not a fan. If I want to listen to several people reading a story, then I will listen to radio plays. If it's a book I want to listen to, then I prefer one or maximum two narrators.

Ridiculously funny vampir story. Not earthshattering but gave definitely some good sniggers. Suites those who like vampyre books but doon't take their heroes or heroines tooseriously.
