Interesting History, Stunted By Narrator
Revisado: 01-09-25
Overall, the information contained within this book is interesting and some of which I've not heard before. Great detail about the before/during and aftermath of the poisonings was included which helped with understanding the various situations.
All that said, the narration is sub-par at best. The narrators cadence is horrid for this type of book. Their voice goes up, as if to emphasize a point, when in fact it should be level since there is no point being emphasized but rather throughout the entire book most often it is a plain statement and should have no extra emphasis. When there should be added emphasis for the readers/listeners benefit, there is none. In fact, for the vast majority of the book, it sounds as if they are putting emphasis merely on EVERY sentence. And at the wrong points.
As a critique of the book layout as a whole, since we are listening to it being read, there is no defined chapter breaks. This again, has a major impact on the listener attempting to separate stories with no defined break. The narration does not help with this issue. They treat it as if it's one long story-same people, same incident-when it's the exact opposite.
I do not recommend this for anyone hoping to have a pleasant listen. You will be disappointed.

Simply fantastic. There are actually no words to describe the awesomeness that is this book. It's like a good old fashioned stranded novel that you might've read from the 1800's that happened on an island except it's millions of light years away on an alien planet brimming with insanely cool, well though out life forms and scenery.
You FEEL Micah's anxiety, fear, anger, ect. It's palpable throughout and makes you feel as if you are there sitting by the fire with him. Excellent job with the choice of narrator as well. He did a nice and believable job of switching between characters. I would definitely listen to another audiobook narrated by him.
I will sign literally any petition shoved in front of me to make this into a movie. Legit. This needs to happen. And I will be the first in line, money in hand at the box office to buy my ticket.
In short, and if you're not convinced yet. Listen/read this book now. Drop what you're doing and listen to this. You'll thank me later.

Historia
When H. G. Wells first published The War of The Worlds in 1898, the novel quickly became a sci-fi classic. The story of extraterrestrials from Mars invading Earth captured the public’s imagination, inspiring a famed 1938 radio broadcast with Orson Welles, several feature films, countless video games, and a best-selling musical concept album by Jeff Wayne in 1978, among others.

Spot on narration and the music/sound effects fit it perfectly. Would 100% recommend this to anyone who loves sci-fi. Classic or new-age.
