Happy Man

a breath of fresh air for litg genre

Revisado: 12-20-24

Loving the character building in this one - not the BS stat building that is too predominant in most litg books. It's important to get to know the people and this book finally accomplished it. I really hope it doesn't go back to unending dry stat building. I barely got this one because of too much of that in 2 and 3. So thankful that I did.

I know there's a lot of unread books ahead of me, and someone who chooses to call themselves Shirtaloon can hardly want to be considered a literary genius, however! Thank you shirtaloon for this book. It certainly gave me the faith needed to continue the series now that I understand what you're capable of.

Even better than the first one!

Thanks Joe. You always make me care about your characters more than the insufferable people I actually know.

Perfectly Suspenseful Thriller!

I'm a big fan of Adrian McKinty. I've listened to all his books on Audible and there's not a single whiff. I didn't want to stop listening to this one and got into some trouble from ghosting my wife because of it. Narrator does a great job too.

He's no Patrick Rothfus

This guy actually produces entertaining material in a prolific manner! Thanks Rick! As a metalhead myself, I only wish you had characters that were as well and mentioned bands and music they were listening too - only critique. I seriously love on this author. His stories in Shingles are usually the best ones in the collection too.

This was a fantastic addition to Bill the Vampire / Bill of the Dead series, and I love the way that it is only part one of the next book. I just downloaded it and am looking forward to listening. Rick Gualtieri is a Rockstar!

Christopher John Fetherolf really continues to make Bill and friends enjoyable. Despite his annoyingly mispronounced words like violla - which recent updates have fixed and then blocked my access to ownership of previously owned versions, thanks to Audible CS for rectifying the issue without a struggle! - he is the only voice of Bill that I'd ever be able to acknowledge.

Start this from the beginning. It's great. Good production value from the beginning with colorful GM and players.

I really liked it!

A tiny bit hard to follow at the beginning, but I fell right into it. A great story! I just purchased the second book with some pretty high expectations. Fingers crossed.

Luke Daniels was great as always, but I got to hear a lot more voices from him than usual. His blooper reel at the end totally cracked me up too.

Lots of fun!

Revisado: 09-21-23

Serious topics with a lot of great jokes and references that landed well for me. I thought it was great and already bought the next in line. Intelligently written to a surprising level for a joke-choked story. Fast-moving, but I still managed to feel some characters. Would definitely recommend.

Outshined expectations. Very good.

I'm SO glad I finally ignored the negative reviews and just got this. Already a big Bill the Vamp fan (of course) and love Rick's short stories in the Shingles. He doesn't disappoint here either. I'm not sure how/why this guy likes to write from the POV of a teenage girl, but he strangely pulls it off in a surprisingly entertaining way. Way to go Rick! Honestly, I see this one is co-written, but I'm unfamiliar with R.E. Carr. I wonder how much of this is her and how much is Rick.

Voice actor was good too. Pretty much a perfect choice for the book.

Fantastic sequel!

Revisado: 05-13-23

John Lee is really great! He especially shines in this first-person POV.

The main character is sort of an asshole, but totally relatable. More relatable than the "aw shucks" too good of a good guy that is normally thrust upon us. The story continues to unfold in a way that makes it hard to put down. With most of the focus on the protagonist, there's a little less character depth than I'd like for the others, but I still barely feel the lack. A good sequel, and the so is the next one!
