there's a whole lot of good and religion in it, and the authors use a lot of biblical principals in a way that seems quite judgemental to an atheist like myself.

All three stories within the story were compelling and intriguing but if I'm honest, the revelation and resolution was a little bit over the top for me. Still, a fun listen with great narration.

I do love this series, even though Stephanie is frustratingly ridiculous and increasingly annoying with her general incompetence. Obviously we don't find out who she married until the end, and frankly, I think she made the wrong decision, and it makes me kind of angry. But whatever.

I have to imagine that this was written by someone tagging along on Alan's adventures, because accepting that this is his actual life is utterly depressing. All he does is complain about people, projects and situations. It's all wake up times, flights, restaurants, food and name dropping. There is little joy in what he does, and little affection shown towards his wife or friends. He doesn't seem to enjoy making movies at all, the only time he expresses delight is when watching others at the theatre. And he goes to a hell of a lot of funerals.

If you want insights into his films and costars or fun behind the scenes stories, you will not get them here.

almost gave up several times. really badly written and the characters are all horribly unlikable and do ridiculous things that make no sense.

I don't get the hype

I listen to this over the last 4 days while sitting by my sons hospital bed. honestly, I don't get the hype.

The story was ridiculously convoluted, dragged on in some places while skipping action that would have been actually interesting. there were chunks of exposition that just droned on and on for for minutes at a time, and then you get to what I thought was the finale only for it to have hours left, as apparently there are multiple tasks to perform and a riddle to solve (the solution to which was obvious and totally on the nose), with the cliched "searching her memory for information previously revealed that she didn't realise the significance of".

I couldn't wait for it to end. utter drivel. but I know I'm in the minority so I'll just move on to something worth listening to. glad it was free this month, and I didn't waste a credit on it.
