These books are like candy corn at Halloween!

Revisado: 10-01-21

Nicholas Sansbury Smith's Hell Diver stories with R.C. Bray narrating are completely and utterly addicting to me. I cannot stop listening and I literally drop everything when another book comes out. I thought the series ended with Book 7's awesome and very satisfying conclusion and wasn't aware Mr. Smith was continuing it until I recently saw it on Audible. It was like discovering a forgotten bag of candy corn in a drawer! If you're not currently a Hell Divers reader, start right now with book 1 but be careful if you've responsibilities like, you know, kids, spouses, job, mortgage, pets, etc. All these things will suddenly become secondary to finishing the book.

Any additional comments?

What would happen if you were stranded on Mars? This is a wonderful, edge-of-your-seat story. Great narrator. You won't be disappointed.

I just love this story

If you could sum up Replay in three words, what would they be?

Some compare this book to the movie Ground Hog Day but in my view that's not on target. While the two stories share an idea, Replay is far more compelling because the story involves lifetimes, not just one particular day. Because of that, the characters' struggles with absolute loss is overwhelming.

I share a previous reviewer's opinion about the narrator. At first, I wasn't sure I liked his style and voice but very quickly realized that he melded into the story and became the voice of the story's protagonist. Very good job.

Just not my cup of tea, I guess.

What didn’t you like about Tavia Gilbert and Peter Ganim ’s performance?

Any additional comments?

In my opinion, this is just a collection of I-hope-you-believe-me stories, some first-hand and some third-hand, that seemed as if they were written for a junior high-school English class assignment; not particularly compelling, relatively shallow and certainly predictable. In fairness, perhaps that's just how such oral "histories" sound; brief, unembellished and absent much context. Anyway, in my view, most of the stories fell in the "I had a weird feeling one time" category that left me wondering why I was listening. As to the alien-abduction memoirs, well, I have to admit that I stopped listening to the book altogether after the first one...

Best audible book series ever

Revisado: 03-20-13

Any additional comments?

I'd never heard of the Outlander series despite the fact that it's been around for a while (it started in the early 90's). I only purchased the books based on audible members' near-universal raving praise.

That praise is dead-on. It's a beautiful love story and a rousing adventure with humor, tragedy, villains and heroes. Moreover, the narrator was born for this series; she's one of the best I've ever heard.

I've spent the last five months listening to all eight volumes; just finished last week and can't wait for the next volume (I understand the author is working on it for release in late 2013 - my hope is that the narrator will do this new one, too.)

Start with Outlander and then listen to the sequel. You will be hooked.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely compelling, great plots, subplots, characters, story, etc. Excellent narration, too. Be sure to listen to the prequel (Pandora's Star), otherwise you'll be a bit challenged.

Intelligent, thoughtful, exciting - a great listen

Revisado: 01-15-11

I can't figure out if Kate Reading's superb narration made this audiobook so compelling or if it was just a terrific story - probably a little of both. The story takes a little while to get going but, once hooked, there's no way you're going to put down this book until the end. You simply care about the characters too much. Well done, author and narrator!

Everything including the kitchen sink

Revisado: 11-22-08

Think about every paranormal, alien-invasion, parallel universe, time-warp and supernatural story you've ever heard. Dump them all into a mixer and set the machine's dial to "liquify." That's this book. Previous reviewers' use of the word "disjointed" was exceedingly kind.
