Shame it was so fast

It's a good reading, and a real jem if you consider that it's the author of the book that is reading! But being abridged, you lose a lot of the book, that is very detailed and interesting. Even so, the abridging is good and, even if you are left with a few information missing, the overall idea is passed correctly.

Excellent audio

as always Sidney Sheldon keep me till the end ,even though is fiction you find some facts

Nun porn

I was under the impression this is part of a larger series about ufos. It is written with a nun sex scene every other scene. Like, even though I may have been misled about the premise of the book, it’s an objectively bad read. I’ve nothing against nun porn, but the entire book? WTF? Plus, the book is so short that it makes the few scenes it does have for the telling of the story completely diverted to telling nun porn.
Even if I wanted to get into the whole ‘nun porn’ aspect of the book, it’s written so poorly that it makes it difficult to even appreciate the one thing it’s written about.
Lame.

Waste of time

How did this author become famous. He’s awful. It’s just porn for women wrapped in a stupid story.

Waste of time

I wanted to read along with the book but they're not the same book. completely different. also, it only has 5 chapters.
