, and keep that old Jesus and Abraham bullshit out of it, we’ve had just about the nose full of that crap…i listened to about as much as i could stand. i got thru episode 11 hoping i could finish because i don’t like to leave things unfinished.
i’m not sure what book jason read but it wasn’t this one.
the mystical stuff was fun to hear then he would go off on some other crap. the most telling line was something like this, ” if its in the NY times it must be true”. OMG realy!?!?!?
i’m glad it was free.
anyone who knows how i can get those hours of my life back let me know.
thanks

Wow, have you ever read on of those books that takes you down several dizzying paths at once, leaving you confused and disoriented? Then ties it all together in the last chapter so that everything makes sense? Well, this is NOT one of those books. It feels like the story ended long before it should have.
I did listen to the entire thing, so I feel that I am qualified in saying that I felt it was a whole lot of new age, mystical, republican bashing nonsense. Whatever your political views, to thinly veil the current administration behind poorly structured fictional characters that are under alien control, is evidence that you don’t have the creative ability to come up with your own original plot line. You borrowed almost every chapter from the news and added the “E.T” factor as your premise. Many of the things written about seemed to be thrown in for “Jerry Springer” style shock value, and had little, if any relevance to the book’s focus. Of course, the book had no focus, so I guess that we can’t fault you too much for the distractions…
