I won't be finishing this audiobook, I've given it all of the try and patience I can. The story is weak and the reader is worse. Going into my did not finish list and I'll add to it the rest of this series as it seems to be the same narrator.

Al Brown is starting A Planet for Rent
I'm about a a quarter of the way thru this book and it just isn't doing it for me. I read the his other audio book and it was very good. This one so far not so much. I'm going to quit here and if I come back to it I do if I don't I don't.

Al Brown is starting Pattern Recognition
The Blue Ant books have been surfacing lately in my mind as I do other things, making it time to re-read and figure out why. Since this trilogy is among my favorite books it isn't a problem.

Al Brown is on page 35 of A Personal Spirituality: Finding Your Own Way to a Meaningful Life
I've got to put this aside for now, its just so slow and read without much emotion. I will try to come back to it, at this time I just don't know if I will.

Al Brown is starting The Demolished Man
I'm 2:18:10 into this audiobllk with 6:09:33 left to listen to and I just have to stop for now. I'm totally unable to get into this one and I've given what I believe is a very fair effort. I going to try to convince myself to come back to it after I take a break from it.

Al Brown is on page 2 of 13 of Pump Six and Other Stories
Since this is a re-read I don't feel too bad about putting this back on the stack to take another run at it later. I enjoyed reading it before and just can't get into it now.

Al Brown is on page 70 of 446 of Villains by Necessity
I'm about 15% (2.30 hours or 17.15 hours) its been a bit tedious to be kind. I'm not sure if the problem is the narrator or the actual writing or both. This story has a great concept but the execution is less than I had expected, the story is very predictable and the dialog needs a lot of work. Maybe I'll come back to it.

I've decided that I'm going to put this one back on the stack, give it another chance later.

I'm struggling with this one its a good book just kinda depressing to listen to right now. I'll have to come back for it when I'm in a head space where I can listen to it.

I've put this one down to come back to soon I hope. I know that this is a good book I'm just not into it right now and can't go any further with it now. This is a fairly depressing read at the moment and I want something at least a bit lighter. I'll be back. . .

This is a big book. I'll have to take some breaks while I listen to it.

8 Dec 2018 - I've made no progress on this and its been long enough now that I'll just restart at the beginning. I'll have more luck with this one in 2019 I hope.

I think that I read this one before I don't know or remember it. Time to give Space Team another go and start where I think I left off.
