Great story so far. I’m on chapter 10 and can’t wait to get to the rest. I’m especially impressed with Scotts accents. He doesn’t force them, they just come out. You are a modern day Orson Wells, my boy!

NOW I understand what all of the fuss is about. I kept hearing about this Sigler guy and how good his stories are?blah, blah, blah. Seriously, people wouldn?t stop talking about him. It was almost annoying. I remember downloading Earthcore right after it was put up on Podiobooks. After listening to the first file, I deleted it. Yes, you read that correctly, I stopped listening and deleted the files.
Now, what seems like ages later, after hearing enough from the cult of Sigler, I decided to give it a go, again. Maybe I wasn?t in the right frame of mind the first time. I always give books a second try. Boy am I glad I tried again. I love blood and gore. LOVE IT. I blame Asian film for this love of mine. Sigler did not let me down. For some they might have thought the story contained too much gore and the language was not to their liking, but this is exactly what I?m looking for?and Sigler delivered. Sure, I noticed the sound quality and mispronunciations and cringed a little, but was quickly distracted by something shiny and followed along again with the story. I?m a research junkie, so I loved all the details in the story. Some might have been bored with the lengthy, technical descriptions of things, but geek speak turns me on.
I got seriously hooked and am thankful my job allows me to listen to audio books all day. I would have preferred to marathon this in one day, but figured I?d have something to look forward to the next day at work if I waited. I was nearly correct in my guess about who lives and dies. I cheered when a certain annoying person got bound, gagged, and tortured. A note to people who listen at work?don?t suddenly say YES a little too loud when someone you?ve been waiting to get their just desserts! It startles people. Sigler, fantastic story. I look forward to listening to your others.

I got seriously hooked and am thankful my job allows me to listen to audio books all day. I would have preferred to marathon this in one day, but figured I?d have something to look forward to the next day at work if I waited. I was nearly correct in my guess about who lives and dies. I cheered when a certain annoying person got bound, gagged, and tortured. A note to people who listen at work?don?t suddenly say YES a little too loud when someone you?ve been waiting to get their just desserts! It startles people. Sigler, fantastic story. I look forward to listening to your others.";s:12:"atom_content";s:1854:"NOW I understand what all of the fuss is about. I kept hearing about this Sigler guy and how good his stories are?blah, blah, blah. Seriously, people wouldn?t stop talking about him. It was almost annoying. I remember downloading Earthcore right after it was put up on Podiobooks. After listening to the first file, I deleted it. Yes, you read that correctly, I stopped listening and deleted the files.
Now, what seems like ages later, after hearing enough from the cult of Sigler, I decided to give it a go, again. Maybe I wasn?t in the right frame of mind the first time. I always give books a second try. Boy am I glad I tried again. I love blood and gore. LOVE IT. I blame Asian film for this love of mine. Sigler did not let me down. For some they might have thought the story contained too much gore and the language was not to their liking, but this is exactly what I?m looking for?and Sigler delivered. Sure, I noticed the sound quality and mispronunciations and cringed a little, but was quickly distracted by something shiny and followed along again with the story.
