Helpful Score: 1
I listened to this one --- this series was released first as an author-narrated audio book series.
Full Share continues the story of our protagonist, who's now at the last part of his enlisted-man service. He's competent, respectful, and smart, all qualities I admire. He's the kind of young adult I hope my kids emulate. And the writing style works wonderfully for "listen while driving".
Yeah, the dramatic tension here doesn't seem very high stakes (despite the author's attempts to make it so), and a lot of the effort here seems to just be to get this portion of the protagonist's life done. But I sure do like to listen to stories of people who are not horribly flawed... I like having models in my head of people who know how to do things, because that means when life comes my way, I have a model of how I'd like to behave myself.
And that's enough to make this whole series worthwhile.
