I must begin by saying that I did not enjoy this book on first read through. So I am hoping that a second go round will improve matters. I am almost late in posting this so please forgive the hastiness of some of my writing. Continued in-attempts to make sure spelling is correct. I typed too much. Chapters and summary below the fold.

We recorded this weeks podcast with a different soundboard that we have on loan from the distributor. Who knew they allowed something like that? But it was pretty fun for us to be able to play around with some new equipment to make us sound better. Mind you that it is just our sound quality that improved, not what Joey and I were saying.

I have to be honest that this is as good an ending to this book as I think we can expect. Tons of areas are only hinted at and some just left unexplained all together. This is probably more of an indictment of me as a reader than the author but I was too confused. And I don't care that much about the characters. Way to many flaws. Not nearly enough positive areas. You will notice a pattern that the wheel seems to weave with me and the end of this book: Confusion. Summary and thoughts below the fold.
Also, I still am not bothering to do any spell checking on names/places. Continue reading "The Eye of the World (Chapters 49-53)" Monday, February 25. 2013

We didn't record this week because Joey was at a writing symposium; however, he was able to interview a few folks, and he stitched those together into this podcast-long installment of "Joey's Culture Corner". Joey wrote this opening paragraph, and I have no idea why he decided to use third-person.

Despite what Joey says there is no Adventure in Republican in this weeks podcast. He lied to us all. Good wrap up of the first season though. Joey was floored by the events of the final minute of the last episode. But he is actually enjoying the series now so it has all been worth it. This tv podcast covers episode 13 of Battlestar Galactica Season 1.

An impromptu podcast this week as Joey's family plans changed. Thank goodness it did because I enjoyed watching him struggle with trying to figure out where the story was going to go.

I am not reading this story, in the truest sense of the word. AoD has let me borrow his audio files of the books so that I can listen to the story. So my spellings of words and names are often times going to be phonetic rather than accurate. It's also late so I may have missed some important bits. Despite annoyances I may mention in this post, I am enjoying the story. Summary and thoughts below the fold.
