Court Says Tax Not Legal Allard Robbed The United States Supreme Court has handed down their opinion, which upholds a lower District Court decision concerning personal property taxes and cigarette sales taxes imposed bythe State of Montana on Indians residing on the Flathead reservation. The Court's opinion contains good news for the average Indian, however, Tribal smoke shop operators are still left in the dark concerning sales of cigarettes to non-Indians. A letter from Tribal Attorneys Wilkenson, Cragun& Barker notified the Tribe of the Supreme Court decision April 29. Their letter accompanied a copy of the opinion issued by the Supreme Court on April 27. The opinion was handed down almost four years to the day that smoke shop operator Joe Wheeler was arrested at his Evaro business. He had been arrested April 13, 1972, for posession of untaxed cigarettes. In briefly summarizing the Court's decision, Tribal attorney stated......... "That the State of Montana may not impose its personal property tax on personal property located within the Reservation and owned by Tribal members." Hopefully this will end the hassle for Tribal members with County Administration every year over the personal property exemp-tion on automobiles and other personal property owned by Tribal mem bers. continued on page % Talk about adding insult to injury! Doug Allard reported to Tribal Police that thieves broke into his Indian Museum and stole not only several thousand dollars worth of Indian handicrafts, but also disarmed and stole his burglar alarm. Police speculate the thieves may have worn gloves, since no finger prints were found. The robbery was evidently "smooth"work according to the police incident report. Items reported missing from the St. Ignatius store included 1200-1500 rings, 400-500 bracelets, beadwork, an elkhorn bow, blankets, a nugget necklace, mocassins, leather gloves, and the burglar alarm, a vehicle and several occupants had been sighted at the scene earlier. Investigation is continuing. NEWSPAPER OF THE SALISH, PEND D'ORIELLES AND KOOTENAI TRIBES [OF THE FLATHEAD RESERVATION VOLUME 6 NUMBER 2 FULL MOON OF THE BITTERROOT MAY 15, 1976 ADAMS JOINS COUNCIL No Charges in Mitchell Shooting Louie Adams, tribal member and BIA forestry employee of 13 years, literally ran away with the Arlee Councilman position in the May 1st election. Adams ran on a platform of better understanding between the Council and our Tribal forestry program. Having been employed in the forestry business for some 22 years, Adams will bring a vast amount of knowledge and experience to the Council table. This type of experience is greatly needed now that the forestry program and logging sales have come under heavy fire. Adams also stressed a greater representation of the people's wishes and retention of our Tribal Culture, whether it be Kootenai, Flathead, Pend d' Orielle 4 Adams received 237 of the 544 certified votes. Virginia Brazill was second with 107; Joe Hawkins 77; Dib Espinoza 33; Josephine Steele 28; Clarice Sanchez 24; Skip Wheeler 17; Joe Santos 12; Bea Noble 8; and one write in vote for Satch McDonald. Poison: According to Lake County Attorney Richard Heinz, no charges have been filed in a shooting incident involving Tribal Chairman Harold Mitchell, Jr., and his brother Leo Mitchell. The alleged shooting of Leo Mitchell took place in the early morning hours of Sunday, April 25, at the Leo Mitchell residence. Chairman Mitchell contends he fired in self defense after being threatened with a shovel, by his younger brother. Leo Mitchell has stated that he had not threatened his brother with the implement. Leo was released from Holy Family Hospital after receiving treatment for wounds received in both feet. The hospital reports that the bullet from a big game rifle creased one toe, causing damage to the bone in one foot, and either fragments from the bullet or gravel riddled the other foot. Heinz stated that the matter is still under investigation at this time. Two witnesses, Bob Hammond, of St. Ignatius, and Joann Roske, also of St. Ignatius, had given statements to the officials.

Hi Japs, I entirely sympathise with your frustrations. The basic problem is there is too much distance between the front and back footstrap plugs. One day I plucked up the courage to rout some holes in my iSonic 105 and install some extra footstrap plugs behind the exisiting front ones. I reduced the distance between the footstraps by 7.5 cm and it tranformed the board. I have since owned an Falcon 124, iSonic 121 (2010), iSonic 97 (2011), iSonic 90 (2011) and they have all received the same footstrap treatment and everytime the floating front feeling has gone away. If you would rather not start cutting holes in you board, you could buy a 2013 iSonic. I got a new iSonic 110 last week and compared to the 2011 boards the front straps are 4cm further back. |

Hi All, This is the basic set up for iSonic 117 that we test with riders from 65 to 100 kgs : Foot Straps : Totally in the back position for the back one and middle for the front one or back if your are not tall. Mast Base : recommend position or 5mm more back Boom : Eyes height Harness Line : Adjustable one that you can trim between light to strong winds. Minimum length, hand to elbow Fins : 42 with 7.8 44 with 8.6, 9.2 44/46 Hope this help, if need more details no problems All the best |

All good suggestions, mikerb. But it can change rapidly when the wind strength changes. I was yesterday on my IS122 + 7.8 sail and felt a bit uncomfortable, the first hour when I was heavily overpowered also because of nasty chop. I know my equipment + settings very well. Then after 1 hour, the wind dropped off a little bit and I felt totally ballanced, without having changed any setting. When the wind decreased further, there was again no perfect ballance and I also recognize the things that the topic starter describes. Too much pressure on the backfoot and difficult pointing. I always try to compensate this by turning/rotating my feet and body towards the nose of the board. It helps to a certain extent. But it remains a fact that Isonics like a lot of sail power and when you don't have enough of it, it's difficult tuning. I experience this also much less on my IS101 (97) and IS87, but I think it is because I ride these boards in much more wind. |

Trim the 117 I sail the 133 but have experienced the same issues when I first started using the board. It is true that all of the variables ( mast foot position, harness line position, sail trim, boom height) need to be in harmony and I suspect some have found solutions by accident! Like most of the Isonics the board needs to be sailed with even pressure on both feet. The biggest single trim factor that impacts on the balance between your feet is boom height.........OK there are limits and other aspects of trim have to be right as well. I do not agree with the comments about downhaul adjustment. Too little downhaul on any large sail will certainly result in too much back foot pressure and with the 117/133 short board length you lose the ability to go off the wind. I set anything larger than 7m on max downhaul all the time...just using outhaul to increase/decrease power. I think some may have noticed a difference in balance between the feet simply because the centre of effort of the sail has moved forward by releasing downhaul. I think the other aspect of trim that helps get that balance between the feet is harness line length......you probably need to try longer lines. Overall my suggestion would be.....lower the boom by about 30mm.......bring the mast track back slightly.......use the next size up harness lines............set your harness hook lower if it feels uncomfortable at first. |

isonic 117 wide """Downhaul: I guess downhaul has to do with the wind power more than with the board feeling""" Really.. the downhaul affect the pressure on the board. less downhaul, more pressure on the board more downhaul. less pressure on the board. from the experience that i discovered from testing this board is that if you have to much downhaul the board will go too high in the water and as a result put more pressure on your backleg. Reverse if you put less downhaul your board can feel a bit sticky. This is within 2 cm on the downhaul on my 9.5 sail. I recently used my 9.5 sail and my select 47 s10 i had pulled the sail according to specs: 522cm downhaul. Went out and the had a lot of pressure on the backfoot and had a hard time to go upwind. I changed the setting and discovered that my harness lines were a bit off and then i moved the mastbase forward and dropped the boom down . this gave me a pretty ok setup but not good. Day 2 i used the same setup except doing the rigging visually. i checked the loose leach on the upper part of the sail and used 520.5 cm downhaul since 522 gave a very loose sail. The end result was a centered mastbase position and normal upwind ability and a more relaxed stance. So my experience with my sails and this board is that too much downhaul gives me the problems you describe big time. This is for gunsails mega xs and north warp f2011 and select s10 47 cm and black fins project type r 45 cm This is racing equipment.. trim and trim and trim...otherwise buy a freerideboard. good luck !! |

Isonic 117 Wide 2011 - Trouble shooting Thanks for your messages .... Lower boom: there is not much room to lower the boom considering is a board for low wind where a high boom position is normally recomended, and consider the boards base rail is lowered for a low gravity center. I have tried to lower it a bit but for low wind position is not comfortable. Bigger fin: on Starboard site the fin range is 38 - 46 for a sail range 7.0 - 9.2 so I guess 8.6 with 45 should be fine. Base position: I have read both forward and backward ... �? Downhaul: I guess downhaul has to do with the wind power more than with the board feeling �? Fin Rake ... I can not afford to experiment with fins, just need a board that I can plug to my fin and rig and works fine, might not be the fastest combination, but I should not find myself in funny stances or fighting against the board Any more comments please? Any Starboard staff or rider advise ? Thanks |

The 117Wide is monoconcave with smaller tail and good tailkick. In other words compared to the more conservative designs you will experience the nose to rise faster (like iS111 and iS97). But when taking a less raked fin/longer fin to lower the nose you get another problem (to much taillift and lifting front foot). The solution can be found in a shorter stiffer fin with not too much rake, a good custom findesigner should be able to help you out. Or maybe one of the sponsored guys can help, but be sure the rider that recommends has the same weight!!! Beside that I would advice a lower boom position compared to what you would expect (based on previous experience). And maybe additional use a slightly forward postion of masttrack compared to your previous experience. Or just buy the iS107 and you will recognize this fits better to your previous experience (only faster). The iS117W is very fast in a very wide range, but only once you tamed the beast though . |

isonic 117 wide Hi i have had this experience to. Reason have been the harnesslines in the wrong place and to much downhaul on the sail.. i try to use a very upright stance on this board and this helps a lot to discover if you have a good trim. It feels like the board react very much on smallest change in trim. i tried a 9.5 m2 sail on the board and in to low wind but still planing i got to much back foot pressure. i used a 47cm select s10 fin. The select fin works great with my 8.7m2 sail but i have ordered a blackfins project type r 50 cm to match this sail. I use a 45cm blackfins project type r with my 7.9 and this is works great to if the max wind is around 17-18 knots and flat water. im 77 kg yOu should check your trim because the board is really fun when you get it together. |

Hi japs!I have exactly the same feeling with my 117 not wide 2011..I'm not sailing so long time like you and I thought its all about my experience.i have tried many tricks with the base or the straps position even with the fins and harness lines but nothing really good.also I had the 107 which I change it with 97 and no any problem at all!! In your case I would try bigger fins but I don't know if that will help you..the only thing I feel a little bit better when I use 44 even 45 for 7.8 than (42) and 47 for 8.6 than (45) |

Isonic 117 Wide 2011 - Trouble shooting Hi, since a year I own a 117 wide and sail it with a 8.6 + Select 45 and 7,8 + 42. I am around 85 kg. I am an experienced windsurfer (25 years since I learned) and have always sailed Slalom / Race boards. Since I bought this board I have never felt comfortable on it, previously I owned a Isonic 111 and loved it, but was looking for a low wind board (117w) combined with a smaller isonic (97). Specific problem is it seems I do not find the right stance and feeling on the board, basically I find myself doing all pressure with the back foot as my front foot just kind of floats on the board not being able to push do any pressure on it. In higher winds I have trouble keeping the front foot inside the strap, feels like is pushed out of the strap, and I find myself trying different body positions to correct it. Have tryied to lower boom and move the base position but does not help much. I am a size 42 (8.5) and find the footstraps at their closest position too big, I like to ride on the edge of the board. Is this becasuse I am used to paralel footstrap position? Isonic 111 was sweet and comfortable ... 97 is also nice to ride ... I am a bit fustrated and thinking of selling the board. Any tips anyone? Thanks |

This is a great service you are providing...
How do I go about finding out if there are headstones for Bertha & Oliver Olsen?? I find the information they are both buried in this cemetery & the death dates are correct but see no picture of headstones. I have their birth dates & could provide the information for them to be updated. I also have their children. My grandfather is their son.

RE: Good morning Charles
I understand how members drop out, lose interest, die, etc. But I wish the Find A Grave admins could be a bit faster on resolving complaints. I guess that's what we get from volunteers!
In the last few weeks I have added about a hundred relatives to our ancestry.com group. Time consuming and hard on my back.
Find A Grave finally fixed the problem I had complained about. I've added a number of sites at Find A Grave too now.

With a Spectra you have to extract the module every time you want to change the channel, with the Futaba module you just have to turn the transmitter off as the dials are right there. (For some reason the folks at Futaba claim their module will only work in the 3PK radio, but I've been using them in my 9Z and W-FLY 8 for a long time now without a glitch.)

NuNaturals NuStevia White Stevia Powder packets provide the ultimate convenience. Our packets make it very easy to take Stevia with you to work, restaurants, or other places where you may want to use NuStevia. The premeasured packets take the guesswork out of how much NuStevia to use.
NuStevia White Stevia Extract Powder is highly concentrated and great for use in recipes or large batches of beverages. Our liquid extracts are another convenient way to use NuNaturals Stevia. The extract can be measured by the drop, allowing greater control over the amount used.
NuNaturals uses our special, highly concentrated Stevia extract, NuStevia, from which the bitterness of the extract has been removed. Be assured that this is a true Stevia extract, consistent in the quality that you expect from NuNaturals.
Maltodextrin is a carbohydrate derived from corn, added to make measuring easier. NuNaturals uses plant-based natural flavors that help to make our Stevia products the best-tasting ones available. NuStevia is a natural plant extract.
While the Indians of Paraguay have used Stevia for centuries, the Europeans first learned about it from the Spanish conquistadors of the sixteenth century. Word was sent back to Spain that the South American natives were using an herb in their drinks to improve the taste. Today Stevia is used by millions of people all around the world.
NuNaturals NuStevia is a superior Stevia extract without the bitter taste that has been traditionally associated with Stevia. Through an all-natural process, the bitter-tasting components are removed. In addition, natural flavors further enhance the taste of the extract, providing you with the best-tasting Stevia products available.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Maltodextrins are easily digestible carbohydrates made from natural corn starch, nothing to do with malt products despite the name suggesting so. They are polymers of dextrose (sometimes labeled "glucose polymers"), that do not contain significant quantities of protein, fat or fibre. ***Diabetics maltodextrin's glycemic index is considered to be metabolically equivalent to glucose (dextrose). In other words it is equivalent to sugar!*** For a low-carber such as myself, this product is fine & the taste is fantastic, no bitterness whatsoever & super sweet for such a small sachet, but please don't get this if you are a diabetic.
The taste of this product is sweet without any bitterness so it is excellent in that way. I've used this mainly with hot beverages and it is perfect with black tea, with coffee it works but not as well. However, this is not pure stevia but it has maltodextrin so the carb count is 1 gram per serving. If you are carb sensitive you might consider pure stevia products instead.

Yes, thank you. I'm currently studying Intelligence Studies at American Public University, it's online. It's going to take me some time to finish my bachelor's degree but it's ok, I really want to do this. I am still unemployed and looking, hopefully something will come up soon.
hahaha! oooh geesshhh girl! I hope you feel better :)...just one day at a time, ok? don't stress yourself for nothing, take it easy, things will be alright...

Good Morning! Hope to see you back soon!
Hi sis! It is good to be back on this site. Talk to you soon.
Good Morning and I hope you are just having computer issues and nothing else. Take care!
Good Morning and may God place his blessing upon you!
It is beyond me, but for some reason I'm labelled a vet. I've never served in the Military. I was always too afraid of that. I did however, work at the Pentagon and worked on the building as an architect for about five years and it changed me. I recently found a job in the State Department! While it is a contract job, it is a foot in the door.
Hello Donna, thanks for all the postings... hope you had a great holidays....
take care always... ;) -
Mrs. Donna,
Once again u have disappeared, and i am lonely when i cant hear from u. I hope you r ok. You r my Angel from heaven, and my spiritual friend. You mean the world to me. Love u.

NBC network and the NBC station group pulled all advertising for "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" Friday morning, shortly after the shooting in Aurora that killed 12 people and injured 58, The Hollywood Reporter reported Friday.
Not long after, the network received calls from the advertising agency representing Warner Bros., also asking for the ads to be removed, a source, whose name was not reported, told THR.
Batman ads were also pulled from the air by ABC, CBS and ESPN, the Los Angeles Times reported.
TMZ reported Warner Bros. gave orders to edit all Batman trailers to remove images and references to guns out of sensitivity to Friday's shooting.

Audie Award Nominee, Science Fiction, 2013
Padlocked doors. Strange light fixtures. Mutant cockroaches.
There are some odd things about Nate's new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn't perfect, it's livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don't nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela's apartment. And Tim's. And Veek's. Because every room in this old Los Angeles brownstone has a mystery or two. Mysteries that stretch back over a hundred years. Some of them are in plain sight. Some are behind locked doors. And all together these mysteries could mean the end of Nate and his friends. Or the end of everything....
©2012 Peter Clines and Permuted Press (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
"A riveting apocalyptic mystery in the style of LOST." (Craig DiLouie, author of The Infection and The Killing Floor)
"A wholly original story that weaves together mystery and the apocalypse like a finely tuned band." (Evan Roy, Bricks of the Dead)
Criminal defense attorney. Love audible and I'm kind of obsessed with writing reviews. No plot spoilers please. Seriously.
"Completely Engaging"
I used a credit on this one over a year ago. It sat in my library for a long time- so long in fact that I would have returned it without listening to it if I could have (time limit had passed) since clearly I wasn't going to get to it. I finally decided, hey why not.
I am so glad I did.
This was the surprise of the year for me, as far as books were concerned. Utterly engaging and believable. The characters developed well, as did the plot line. No forced culmination- everything fit and made sense based on the build up. That is not to say that the book was predictable- far from it actually.
It's funny, sci-fi, and horror, mixed into a solve the mystery plot line. Great characters. Just... believable, even with as out there as the plot line is.
The narration was fantastic. I'd listen to Ray Porter any time. I'm going to have to give Clines' other books a try, even though the ex-superheros series doesn't appeal to me on the surface. If they're as engaging and well written as this was, I can't see not liking them.
Is it the best book ever written? No. Is it worth a credit and your time? Absolutely.
Highest marks.
You'll find me chattering and chasing shiny things.
"Super solid listen!!"
I'm sure I can't say here anything that hasn't already been said, however I was so impressed, I felt like I had to. I also don't want to reveal anything, because the minimal knowledge I had before listening made the unfolding of the story so much more fun! This was such a solid listen on all fronts. The characters were engaging, the story interesting, the source of the mystery was terrific. By the time it had ended I wanted to hear more!
The absolute best thing, though, was the narrator. If there were some way I could give Ray Porter more than 5 stars, I'd give him an enthusiastic 10! His accents were credible, pronunciation:impeccable, and timing and flow: spot on! The thing I loved the most is that his interpretation never got in the way of the story he was telling. I've never found a narrator, aside from Jim Dale, I felt I would gush about - Ray Porter is gush-worthy!
Laughter is the best medicine, but if you are laughing for no reason, you may need medicine.
"Sometimes it pays to read reviews!"
This was another book purchased solely on reading reviews and I'm glad I did. Reading the story description alone I never would have used a credit on this book, strange goings on in an apartment complex just didn't "pop" for me but there were so many positive reviews I gave it a shot. The narrator is the same guy that reads the Joe Ledger series and I really like his voice and characters, he did it again on this book and even added an Indian accent. The "goings on" in the apartments was interesting enough but what happens toward the end of the book was very suspenseful and exciting and that's all I will say about the content.
This is one of those audiobooks that I really can't see how no less than 90% of listeners will enjoy and a sure bet that your credit won't go to waste.
"Sci-Fi Scooby and Friends"
Mysterious apartment building with low rent in Los Angeles raises healthy curiousity for young tennants. Sharing freaky details about lights and green cockroaches, the gang and slowly comes together in the shape of the Mystery Bunch, complete with Fred, Daphne, Shaggy and Velma investigating the oddities of their dwelling.
Each character was interesting and relatable with Nate as the reluctant leader trading barbs with Veek, the oober-intelligent hacker. The guys and nudie sunbather, Zela meet on the roof to watch sunsets and share a few frosty beverages. Found myself enjoying the eccentricities of the gang. Narrators did an excellent job for each voice. Fresh take on a Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys caper, searching for answers leading them into an other worldly caper.
The mystery unravels into a science fiction (not psychological) thriller. Enjoy.
"Long Time Listener, First Time Reviewer"
I've never read Clines before, but if the rest of his work is on par with 14, I think I will have read all of his work by the end of the month. I devoured 14. I missed a project deadline at work because of 14. I really want there to be a 15, 16, and 17, even though I am perfectly aware that would make no sense.
Bottom line? This was a fun book with a fantastic narrator. Nothing deep really, but it didn't need to be. It was perfect fantasy/horror genre pulp. The entire thing is destined to be a movie that will inevitably fall far short of the story Clines has written. For Clines' financial sake, I really hope that happens anyway. Keep up the good work Peter.
There are few things better than a good story well told!
"Very Good Thriller"
I downloaded this book thinking it would be a haunted house story. It's so much more. I hesitate to say more because I would not want to give away anything. I'll just say there is a mystery that you will not guess. Not in a million years. The story is part science fiction, part horror, part thriller. I definitely wanted to finish it in one sitting.

"m night shyamalan has nothing on clines"
m night shyamalan wishes he could tell a story as good as this! i'm not sure i can add anything to what other reviewers have already said.
i bought this based on what another reviewer wrote, "it's lost meets national treasure." i bought it based on that. and boy oh boy, i was not disappointed! plus, i've read clines' other work and have definitely enjoyed his stories.
that reviewer hit it right on the head. 14 is a mix of lost and national treasure. there is a great cast of characters, and the plot builds as the story continues to pull you in. you helplessly want to keep listening and finding out more. who are these characters? are they really who they say they are? what is up with the history of this apartment building? why are some of the doors chained and locked up? what is in the basement?
this is a unique story, not like one you've heard or read before. i kept trying to guess, but i was wrong, pleasantly wrong as the story revealed itself.
like lost, the story pulls you in. unlike lost, this story has a good ending! my only disappointment was that i wanted to know a little bit more about a couple of the characters. i wanted to know more about a certain character's checkered past and how one character got the job she did.
like national treasure, there's a mystery and a history behind the apartment building. unraveling these leads the characters on an interesting quest to save the world. that may sound hokey but trust me, this is definitely worth your credit to find out why that's not a flimsy cliché.
if you like a good mystery with an interesting and unique payoff, then this audiobook is for you. if you've liked clines' other work, then you'll love this b/c it's his best in my opinion.
I like Jack Reacher style characters regardless of setting. Put them in outer space, in modern America, in a military setting, on an alien planet... no worries. Book has non moralistic vigilante-justice? Sign me up! (oh, I read urban fantasy, soft and hard sci-fi, trashy vampire and zombie novels too)
"Surprisingly suspenseful...And a bit of a surprise"
What on earth is this book about? At 2/3 of the way through nothing had really happened, and nobody had really done anything, but I still kept reading because I wanted to know (probably as badly as the characters wanted to know): what is up with this building? And why is it titled 14? And why has it sometimes been tagged as "horror"?
That makes it sound like the first 2/3 dragged... it did not. For some reason the story kinda grabs you and pulls you in, even if it spends a lot of time keeping you in suspense as to what the story is actually about.
When I (and the characters) finally discovered what was going on, the story picked up the pace, and perhaps got a bit far-fetched... and it ended up not being at all what I thought it had to be. Of course, you have to suspend disbelief when reading. If you can do that, you should enjoy this book. It has a nice sense of foreboding and suspense and you're never really sure what's really going on.
I even liked the ending, pat though it might have been. I'd read more by this author. It is mostly sci-fi-ish, not really horror at all... There is a bit of violence, but it's not graphic or over-done. There is no sex and I don't think there was much in the way of swearing. The narration was very good.
"Surpassed expectations!!!"
It is difficult to review this book without ruining the experience. I thought I knew where Clines was going, then BAM--he changed directions and utterly surprised me. I did not see where he was going with 14 and was questioning Audible placing it in the Sci-Fi category..I was sooo naive! I believe I can make some comparisons without giving the plot away:
It is part Stephen King and part Frank Peretti (I think I should stop there as you are probably completely baffled...as you should be! This is utterly unique!). 14 is bizarre and wonderful.
Ray Porter did a fantastic job. I put him in the same category as Scott Brick and Kate Reading (2 of my favorites). He gave each of the characters their own personality. The evil characters made my skin crawl and I cheered for the heroes.
Recommended, I just cant tell you why without spoiling it~
I believe a reviewer should finish a book before submitting a review. What do you think?
"YES 5 Stars all around- A WINNER!!!!!"
I am thrilled to rate this book with 5 stars. What this book has.....
terrific character development, I got to know and cared about each and every character; story/plot, I just couldn't put this book down (what is the audio equivalent of a page turner?); intrigue and suspense, the tenants of the building have a mystery to solve that is a matter of life and death;
romance that is hip and cool and relevant, with plenty of references to current culture;
and equal to the wonderfulness of the book overall is the expert narration, I am thinking that Mr. Porter is perhaps one of the best narrators ever, he did everything right, accents, pace, tone, and inflection.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book, oh I agree ......happy dance!!!!
"Un-expected pleasure."
I didn't know what to expect with this one, I got it because I really enjoyed clines other creations.
But I quickly fell in love with the whole story, you get to know each and every character and the twists are great.
It is hard to review without giving anything away, alls I can say is very enjoyable and really well narrated to the point where you can easily pick out each character by the narration.
"Solid first 3/4's...dissapointing finale."
Hmmm, not really. [Spoiler free] - Ive said that the finale is dissapointing, but this has little to do with the plot/story - which was fine, if a little derivative. The build up of quiet dread, and the slow unfolding of the mystery was a lot of fun. No, it was the character's response to the events towards the end that didn't sit well. Up to the final quarter of the book, Nate and chums responded plausibly to what was going on. However, their friendly banter, and muted reactions (to what was, a roller-coaster of terror and madness), seemed more in keeping with getting lost in the woods, and not being sure if you're going to make it home that night, rather than, what was, a prolonged waking nightmare.
Putting people in bizarre, and horrifying situations, and making their responses believable, is something that writers like, Stephen King or Richard Matheson, seem to make look easy. And its essential in stories like this. Peter Clines' difficulty just highlights how hard it is to actually achieve, and the difference between writing a book thats good, and writing one thats just alright.
The narration, although a little flat and stacatto at times (during the 3rd person narration, rather than when people were 'talking'), was quality. The characters were distinct and well portrayed.
"It's locked for a reason!!!!"
It's been a while since I got totally immersed in an audiobook. This didn't really stand out to me, I only got it as it was in the sale, but I'm glad I did!
Nate works as a temp, going nowhere with no cash, so when cheap digs are offered he grabs them. Once he moves in, he starts to meet his neighbours and they soon realise that not one room in the whole building is structurally the same. Not only that, the building doesn't appear to be attached to the power grid and nobody's heard of the landlord.
I can't go into too much without spoiling it, but needless to say the atmosphere when they go past the basement and into room 14 is so tense you'll need to put the light on!
This was brilliant - characterisation was wonderful, plot was brilliantly woven together with lots of nice pop culture references (loved the totally throwaway "bowties are cool"), and pace was such that I stayed up much too late to find out how it would end. Ray Porter's narration was also excellent, with clear delineation of the various voices and a great line in comic timing amid all the impending horror. Off to look for more things by Peter Clines/more narration by Ray Porter...
"Oh I loved this book!"
Fresh believable characters, incidental love interests that didn't detract from the story in any way! Unpredictable twists and turns, appealed to me (at 60) and my daughter (at 24) test of a good story. Different to my usual read but I'm really glad I took a chance and listened. Easy to follow without being boring, unusual concept but believable, even the weird bits!
Can't compare it to anything really, all new and very enjoyable!
Veek is very cool (not sure if that's how to spell it) she has a wicked sense of humour, Zeela is also pretty cool.
Both - I found my jaw clenching in parts, shouted out loud in the car a few times, couldn't wait to get out of work to start listening again!
Buy it if you like a good story, fantasy, suspense and laughing!
"Mixed bag..."
This was an odd one for me, I really enjoyed the first 8 hours of the story a lot but the last 4 hours not so much. That's not to say the last 4 hours are terrible or anything - its fine, but its almost like a different storyline somehow. Hard to explain without spoilers really, but for me the writer had the first part of the story done really well, and the latter part not so well - but it was an interesting story well told, just seemed to go a bit odd towards the end.
"Just, wow."
Hilarious, entertaining madness.
It's impossible to put into words without giving massive spoilers, but the characters in this book have much more depth and realism about them than pretty much any other book I have ever read. I found myself sharing all their emotions, and rather than guessing the ending, was anxious to find out what they were leading to. This book is so well written, it's truly edge of your seat stuff.
Ray Porter's performance is fantastic. A couple of the accents may have been a little ropey, but he still managed to make them believable, even his women had the correct balance of strength and fragility that so many actors tend to get so wrong. His pace is perfect, and his acting highlights all the humor and / or tension that each scene requires. I'll definitely be on the lookout for more of his narration.
I could've lost a whole weekend to this book. I was due to take a coach journey when I was about a third of the way through it, and decided to listen to more of it rather than my music. On the way home again I was pretty tired, and thought I would continue with the book, maybe have a doze on my way home...no chance. By the time my journey ended I was LITERALLY on the edge of my seat. The girl next to me must have thought I was crazy with all the fidgeting I was doing as events unfolded in my ears. By the time I actually got home, the story had become so intense that I was glad my other half was back from work so I didn't have to sit in the house on my own while I listened to the end.
I've been chewing all my friends ears off (figuratively) to try and get them to listen to or read this book. If you give it a chance, I promise you will too. Pretty much jumped straight into my top five favourite books and gives Neil Gaiman a damn good run for his money.
"really unexpected, loved it all."
I loved this book. Not what I expected at all. The narrator was wonderfully. The story kept me guessing. I ended up sitting in my car in the driveway with people staring at me because I wanted to hear what happened next.
Hmmm... that's a hard one. It reminded me a bit of the TV series Lost.
Every character had a distinct voice and even one word replies were easily identifiable. Especially enjoyed his portrayal of Tim the "retired publisher" and Roger the laid back "dude". This narrator is a safe pair of hands.
Nate moves into a new flat in a very strange apartment building. It seems that every apartment in the building is different and has something strange about it. There are the green cockroaches, the lift that has never worked, apartment 14 is padlocked, and many other strange oddities.
This was a wonderful book, with lots of twists and turns, and some fantastic ideas. And every time something new was revealed about the building I had a new theory about what was going on. I loved this book and will be looking for more books by Peter Clines.
Loved every minute of it.
Really great listen, highly recommended.
"A crafty nod to the old master"
The Kavach building is a wonderful creation set in the middle of LA. A gothic monolith filled with strangely disproportionate rooms and even odder tenants. In comes Nate, an all American loser but all round nice guy. His flat is let to him at an unfeasibly low rent,with all utilities included, but with an ominous message that people move out because things aren't quite right there. The story begins gently with Nate investigating his surroundings and meeting his fellow tenants and from then on it becomes brilliantly weird.
This story is heavily influenced by another American writer and makes no attempt to hide this.
The narrator is terrific and handles the material in exactly the right way.
I can close my eyes now and see the Kavach looming over me.
And as for number 14 ...
