Historical Sci-Fi Comedy in top form!

Revisado: 10-20-22

Easily one of the best Audible Originals I've listened to. Laughed through it all the way. The alternative timeline peppered with plenty of factual and cultural references from the late 1960s to make me nostalgic and believe it was of the period. Well researched, imaginatively written, and well written, directed, and edited. The performances were spot on. The 4th wall broken enough to make Deadpool or She-Hulk proud. The fine attention to details helped make this a quite enjoyable experience.

I've listened to some unsatisfying Audible Originals lately. This one has restored my faith in the potential for them. It was just what I needed to beat the blues.

Some laughs here and there, but...

Revisado: 10-17-22

This story needed better editing and direction. I can't tell you what the actual story was because I don't think those in control knew what the story was. Sure, I laughed some, but I kept wondering where it was going. Too bad the title Lost in Space was used already. That's where I felt this story left me. Lost.

Wheaton and Pearlman were fine, the story tried to be clever but fell short.

The Best Reading of The Raven

Revisado: 02-11-22

I've been a fan of Poe since an elementary school teacher read, quite possibly, The Raven and The Pit and the Pendulum to my class. Later, in high school forensics competitions, The Raven was always a popular poetry reading. There's been a common through line with practically every reading of Poe I've heard in my life, even by Vincent Price. Every reader succumbs to the sing-song rhythm of the verse, which even at its best, diminishes the story to some degree.

Dominic West does not fall into the sing-song rhythm that so many do. I hear his approach to the story as an actor would approach a play script written in verse, like Shakespeare's plays. Yes, you do hear the rhymes as West acts this story but it's supplementary. This actor's approach to the story as opposed to a literary scholar's approach is what makes it superior to any previous reading of The Raven I've ever heard.

Compact, yet complete.

Revisado: 12-21-20

fast paced, but includes all the key elements of a longer story. The original story contains a great amount of detail, fully painting the Dickensian portrait of Christmas and Scrooge's reclamation. This version is cut dramatically to the basic outline of the story, performed at a brisk pace. while I prefer the longer versions, I'd recommend this version.
