I really enjoyed the first part of this book, but the second half turned into a never-ending, tedious pursuit. I also found myself a bit uninterested in the author's constant lecturing about genetic engineering. It would have been more captivating if the characters had actually achieved the modification of humanity's germ cells instead of just discussing the moral dilemmas associated with it. The book began with an exciting start but then fell into the predictable territory of typical thriller novels.

Although the general storyline is easy to anticipate, there are a couple of unexpected turns that make it engaging. All in all, it's a fun way to spend a few hours.

Carson, the protagonist of the story, makes some incredibly foolish choices and doesn't endear himself to readers. His sidekick, Cabeza de Vaca (seriously, who comes up with a surname like 'head of cow'?), is equally unlikable. Additionally, the predictable storyline of boy meets girl, constant arguing, and secret desire is cliché. The most disturbing aspect, however, is the gratuitous and graphic depiction of the agonizing deaths of two horses, which serves no real purpose in the narrative.

The plot of 'Mount Dragon' was a real snooze fest and I could see the ending coming from a mile away. However, the narration was a whole different level of disappointment. I spent the entire time fiddling with the volume, either because it was blasting in my ears or I could barely catch the dialogue. It would have been way better if the narrator just spoke naturally instead of attempting to mimic someone in a hazmat suit.

Among the 300 books I've listened to via this service, 'Mount Dragon' definitely takes the cake for having the most poorly recorded audio. Despite that setback, the book itself is skillfully written with an exhilarating plotline. It's a shame that we had to endure the audio issues.

I gotta tell ya, 'Mount Dragon' is hands down one of the most confusing and nonsensical books I've come across in a hot minute. It's all over the damn place and at some point, I think there's some weird cyberspace stuff going on... I'd definitely pass on this one, no doubt about it!

I absolutely loved reading 'Mount Dragon' by Douglas Preston! It was my first time diving into one of his books, and I was hooked from start to finish. The plot was incredibly captivating, and I found myself completely invested in the characters. I was so engrossed in the story that I didn't want it to come to an end!

Imagine this: hidden away in the expansive desert is Mount Dragon, a mysterious and highly classified research facility belonging to the enigmatic genius, Brent Scopes. Two new scientists, Guy Carson and Susana Cabeza de Vaca, have arrived at the center with the noble intention of finding a cure for the flu, or so they think. However, Guy's world is shaken when his former professor, Dr. Levine, who was once a close friend of Scopes, secretly approaches him. Driven by fear that Scopes' experiments will forever alter humanity, Levine is on a mission to dismantle his research. From here, an exhilarating and suspenseful mystery/thriller unfolds, gripping listeners from start to finish. Amidst the thrilling plot, the book also offers moments of laughter, thought-provoking insights into desert survival, genetic studies, and some peculiarities that will only make sense when you experience them yourself. The characters in this tale are so well-developed that their trials and tribulations deeply resonate with the audience, thanks to the expert portrayal by the narrator. Overall, it's a captivating and thought-provoking book that I have absolutely no hesitation recommending.

I absolutely loved this book, from the storyline to the narrator, it was all top-notch. Being a fan of SciFi virus-themed tales, this one hit all the right notes for me. The level of technicality was just right, not too overwhelming nor lacking. When it comes to delivering a gripping audiobook, these authors never disappoint.

The concept of this book had me hooked from the start... and that's pretty much the only positive thing I can say. It felt like this book was unnecessarily long, especially with the never-ending horse ride through the scorching lava fields. I was dying to reach the end and wrap up the story! Overall, there was a lot of repeating and not much mystery to keep me engaged. It was predictable to the point where anyone could guess what would happen to the characters, none of whom were particularly likable. I'd say it was an average or below-average read.

The book started off slow and the production wasn't very good. I started wondering if I had made a mistake in getting this book. The reader was not very good and when he spoke softly I couldn't hear what he was saying. However, as the book went on I guess I got used to the reader and the book turned out to be very good. I enjoyed it.
