Short review for a very good book. I enjoyed it. I would suggest that readers read Clines other book, "14" before taking this on since there are some great Easter eggs in this book that were present in that book. We also get some glimpses at former characters. It's nice to know that "The Fold" and...
On my second read through (aka listen), I liked The Fold a little bit better than I did the first time. However, many of my criticisms stay the same. Good god, the amount of repetitive language in this book!!--------------I wish I could say that I loved The Fold. Heck, I wish I could say that I real...
Okay folks, this one’s a page-turner! I was hooked, line and sinker! First and foremost, Mike Erickson is such an interesting protagonist! Mike has an eidetic memory, also called a photographic memory. What was the most unique here is the author’s descriptions of the way Mike’s brain works usi...
For my vacation, I was tasked with selecting an audiobook for our drive over to the beach. I'd previously read 14 by this author, had heard good things about The Fold, and figured that this one wouldn't have awkward smex moments, since there would be 4 of us listening - me, husband, 20 year old daug...
Leland ‘Mike’ Erickson is quite happy with his high school job teaching American Literature in New England. He doesn’t want to go help his long-time friend Reggie Magnus out on his super secret DARPA project in sunny California. Yet somehow he is swept up into it and can’t help but want to solve the...
This book made for a fun listen. I enjoyed a previous book by the author, "14", and I thought I'd give this one a try. To me, this book seemed like a reworking of the that story. I slightly preferred "14" over this one (maybe because I had read it first). The other reviewers seemed to rave about thi...
Synopsis: A really smart guy, who never forgets anything, is hired to evaluate a research project in the desert for safety. I really liked this book. I had a good guess going in where the story was going to go and it more or less went in that direction. Its hard to say what I really liked about th...
[I received a copy of this book through Edelweiss, in exchange for an honest review.]Excellent idea and premise, although I wasn't really convinced by the ending.I liked the main character's ability (eidetic memory): although convenient, alright, it's also interesting. Mike's take on it, on life the...
This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life.I am a little torn about this book. I loved this book and found it to be an engrossing story for the first 250 pages or so. At that point the story took a left turn for me and I have to admit that I am still wondering why the author decided to...
