I really really want to hear this story but . . .

. . . it is a struggle. The writing is not professional and the narration is not professional. I give a lot of leeway to people who write their own stories. And, it is expensive to hire a professional narrator, so I am very appreciative of a person who will narrate their own book in order to get their story out. I have not hesitated to return audio books before because I didn't like the writing or the narration. This book, however, has been a real struggle for me.

The information I am interested in is interspersed within writing that really needed a professional writer's editing. The narration is a reading of the book, without the pauses and inflections a professional narrator would use. I love the convenience of audio books, but will instead switch to the kindle version of these 5 books. I won't return this audio book, the first in the series, but will return the second book which I've already purchased but haven't listened to. I don't think I will finish listening to this first book, but will switch to the kindle version instead.

I very much appreciate the author sharing his experiences and thoughts, the novel format makes it hard to tell what is true, but from reading book blurbs and reviews, it appears that the third book will revisit these stories but in a non-fiction form.

Autobiographies are valuable, and fallible, and this UFO topic is of interest to me. I appreciate very much the author's work. This has been a dilemma for me - while I want to learn what the author has to say - the audio version has been hard to enjoy - due to the combination of both the writing style and narration style - and I find myself going to other books to avoid going back to this audio book. I will buy the kindle books instead.

Love the storyline, but...

After watching several interviews with Charles Hall, I wanted to read the first book. Assuming of course, more details behind his story. Yes, it has more details. Not wanting be be a “Debbie Downer”, I need to be honest. The book needs some major editing from an actual editor. The audio needs to be edited too. For instance chapter 22, Charles cleared his throat three times. The entire audio sounded echoey and the sound levels weren’t across the board like they should be. I believe the recording was done in a makeshift home studio. Which is totally fine, but an audio specialist should’ve attempted to help edit it too. Overall the story is what I wanted to hear. Albeit the excessive use of adverbs and repetitive conversations. I love the actual story though.

WOW! I listened non-stop!

Okay, so Charles is not a writer and could use an editor. And, Charles is not an actor or professional reader. That being said, I actually liked the rawness of this book and I appreciate the story being told in the man's own voice and not over dramatized by a pro.

As you can see from my ratings the reduction of stars for story and performance in no way reduced the over all book. I can't wait to finish this review to move on to the next book in the series.

This is a true story of a man who worked "with" real live aliens. No joke. The way he wrote the book makes it easy to understand the progression and relationships with the military brass, enlisted and the aliens. I have been lucky in my life to have met many people who have taken part in reverse engineering, been to area 51, and someone who was peripheral to the alien autopsy. I am overjoyed at this new information on aliens and UFOs. We, all of us, need to know the truth. I am hoping, with all this information coming out, our government will be forthright. Full Discloser Now.

Good info weak story

Never met a person who thought so much of his intelligence. I know it’s real fiction, just how the main character is which is supposedly super intelligent(every one tells him constantly that he is). Book is worth a listen, I like Charles hall. But it’s a hard listen.

could not stop listening

this is my first book ever. 13 hours long and I listened to in in 24 hours. what a joy

If you have ever heard Charles Hall before

you need to listen to this book. He tells the story with such detail... you have to wonder

Greatest true story of Millennium!

I find Charles Hall to be a very credible man. Full of honesty, integrity and passion. He is absolutely a hero & incredibly fearless. I was at full attention the entire time he spoke, whenever i even missed one word i rewound it 120 seconds to male sure i caught every detail!
Thank you so much for putting these books together. I believe without a shred of doubt that he has seen and experienced what he claims & i know we can't be alone in this extensively vast universe.
