Great story and narration

Revisado: 08-21-23

I grew up on Charles Band movies so this memoir was very enjoyable. And the narration is fantastic.

Nothing happens!

Revisado: 05-12-23

What a long book considering nothing happens. The characters are so boring and passive! Bad story, decent narration but the accents got on my nerves after a while.

Great book

Revisado: 03-06-23

Geena Davis is hilarious and comes across as very grateful for her career. She goes into surprising amount of detail about her earlier movies, which was a lot of fun to hear. I really enjoyed this book.

Fun book

Fun book, great energetic narration. I learned quite a few things about this series. If you’re a fan of the films, this is worth a listen.

My god the mouth sounds!

Revisado: 03-09-21

I enjoyed the book overall, but the narrator’s constant mouth sounds (sucking teeth, smacking lips, swallowing while talking) hurt the experience quite a bit. I don’t blame him for all of it, as an editor should have cut out most of the sounds, but swallowing while talking and occasionally turning away from the microphone—at least, that’s what it sounded like he did—are his fault. He has a pleasant-enough voice and I like that he attempted to mimic the voices of the people he quoted.

The book itself is a delight, however. I loved hearing all the details that went into making the movies.

Great narration, boring story

Revisado: 04-10-19

The book’s plot is almost non-existent, and the characters are very boring. Especially Jacob. He had no personality. And there are way too many characters. I hate when authors introduce new characters all the way up to the end.

Decent book, terrible sound quality

Revisado: 03-28-19

This is more of a review of the audiobook production. The sound is so muffled that when the narrator talks quietly, I can’t understand what he’s saying. Eventually I switched back to the paperback to finish the story.

Not a fan of the narration

Revisado: 01-09-19

I read the book before the show premiered and was looking to read it again, so I bought the audiobook despite the many negative reviews about the narration. Mr. Dotrice sounds exhausted throughout the book, and he constantly mispronounces names (Theo instead of Theon, Anya instead of Arya, Jeffrey instead of Joffrey). He’s also constantly licking his lips, which got on my nerves. Most of these things could’ve and should’ve been edited out, so I don’t blame him so much for that. Just a badly produced audiobook all around. It wore me down after a while, so much so that I switched back to my paperback.

Great book with terrible narration.

Revisado: 03-29-18

The book is great ... in paper form. The narration is awful! I had to listen at double-speed just to tolerate.
