I will confess that I did not finish the last episode of the podcast. The book finished with much of the juvenilism that irked me in Half Share, so I gave up with about twenty minutes to go. If you've enjoyed the first two books of this series, this one is mostly worth listening to. The reader gets to experience Ishmael making decisions about his life on his own and preparing for the next phase of his life. Like the other books in the series, this one is available free as a podcast on iTunes.
After finishing Full Share, I decided not to continue with Double Share, the next book in Ishmael's story. I may return to the series eventually but I definitely needed a break. Ishmael who started the series as a likable guy was really beginning to annoy me by the end.
This one took me 24 days to get through, although I ran fewer miles than usual during that time.
Ah well. I admit that books 2-4 do have that adolescent smarminess that is at its worst in book 2. Books 5&6 (Captain's Share and Owner's Share) have a different feel that I was able to relate to more (especially with my Impostor's Syndrome).
