While you don’t get answers, that’s just life sometimes. It was still an interesting journey, and I felt true to his experience. Never sure if she killed herself or was murdered, waffling back and forth, and getting different opinions from different people.
I thought the ending was close to perfect. Overall, it was sad, but a good, ethical, true crime and memoir told from the perspective of a family member.
Narrator Rating: 3.0 stars The narrator was okay, he did good vocal changes for different people. However, I wish there had been more emotion in his voice.

It's a collection of past articles combined into a book. There's not even commentary to tie them all together.
The articles were great, but the book truly had little narrative structure, I would have liked at least a little commentary added to make it a true book.
Narrator Rating: 2.5 stars WHY were they cheap and had him narrate the book? He wasn't a terrible narrator, but not great either.

I wish it had been more about the fight against ransomware and less about the team. But it was still quite interesting.
Narrator Rating: 5.0 stars One of the main reasons I picked this book to read was the narrator. I love his voice. He did an amazing job narrating.

A great read if you're a nerd, but better for when the world isn't falling around us.
If you are easily offended by a non-Christian/Abrahamic religious or non-capitalist look at the history of humans, then this book is NOT for you. A part offends most if they consider things emotionally and not logically/objectively.
This book makes you think critically about our history, religions, and economic systems. Although I did have to take a mental health break, as it has an overall grim outlook on the future. Overall, it's a fascinating read.
Narrator Rating: 3.75 stars The narrator did a decent job, but nothing special.

However, the characters were sort of unlikable, which is a pet peeve of mine. They certainly had issues, which made them complex, which I enjoyed.
Overall, it was a mixed bag; however, it turned out to be a decent book, which I enjoyed for the most part.
Narrator Rating: 2.0 stars While the narrator did well with voices, the fact that she sounded congested the whole time was extremely annoying. I don’t know if she was ill when this was recorded, or that’s just her voice, but either way, it bugged me to no end.
