An experiment that tried hard but didn’t work

Revisado: 02-15-22

Mark Greaney is without doubt a master story teller, no question of that….but Armoured falls absolutely flat against all his previous works.

The multiple voices are lacklustre and tired, and the average experience listening to the story is akin to sitting in a movie theatre watching a C grade movie with your eyes shut.

Based on this product (yep product…STORIES have souls…this doesn’t) I would advise Mark to expand his team of beta readers to include some who can offer valued criticism.

By the way, I have every book Mark has written in my library…this is the first one I’m going to return.

Mathews Bull farm is doing well

Revisado: 07-17-15

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A believable story line and some credible characters

What do you think your next listen will be?

Going by this story, anything but a Matthew Reilly novel

Would you listen to another book narrated by Sean Mangan?

Yes...he provided a workman like performance for someone who didn't write the story

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Great Zoo of China?

All of them...an unbelievable story set in an unbelievable location populated by unbelievable characters

Any additional comments?

Bull is doing well....along with the tomatoe and vegetable patch it services

Would you listen to Fallen Out: A Jesse McDermitt Novel (Caribbean Adventure Series, Volume 1) again? Why?

Absolutely...I have read all of Wayne Stinnett's Jesse McDermitt novels and found them all eminently readable.

I bought the Audible book version to see if it measured up to my expectations for the character I had built in my mind....it certainly did the job and I would heartily recommend it and any following Jesse stories to any of Wayne's fans

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes.... A great read from the start, allowing the plot to develop along the way

Which character – as performed by Nick Sullivan – was your favorite?

I though Nick did a great job with all the characters....with just enough inflection and tonal twist to keep them all believably separate

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Having been a Lobster diver on the Bahama Banks for some years it was good to read a little bit about something that brought back a few very good memory of life on the Matty Sein

a new Heinlein breaks out

Revisado: 04-05-15

Would you listen to Omega Rising again? Why?

Having read all of Joshua's books I have really enjoyed being able to sit back and have them given a new dimension of life in audio.
The series for me is entertaining enough for me to place it in my re-read file.

What did you like best about this story?

the easy going, believable writing style utilising characters that are well constructed and fit perfectly within a great story line

Have you listened to any of Paul Heitsch’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no, I haven't listened to Paul prior to listening to Omega Force, but he did a great job of vocalising Joshua's story

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Could't put the book down after getting into it, and found Had the same reaction to the audible version....I very seriously hope that Audible creates the whole series in the vocal format

Any additional comments?

I,m keeping track of Joshua to see if he creates further Omega Force adventures

Elijah does Mark Proud

Revisado: 03-11-13

What made the experience of listening to Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: A Signature Performance by Elijah Wood the most enjoyable?

Elijah really stretched himself to accurately portray the Southern dialect that is so integral to Twain's Huckleberry character ...a brilliant rendition.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Obviously Huck...but having said that, all the characters were totally believable.

What about Elijah Wood’s performance did you like?

The concise articulation of the entire story whilst maintaining a brilliant understanding of period Southern dialect....he was Huckleberry Finn to a T

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Huckleberry's realisation that Jim (as a Negro) had the same fears and feelings as white folks...that subtle realisation that we're all the same under the skin

Leader of the Pack

Revisado: 03-05-12

What did you love best about Hounded?

me wanting more.
A Very punchy story that kept me interested to the end

What other book might you compare Hounded to and why?

It's a one off concept and a story on it's own

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

First time I heard Luke read...and am looking for more of his work

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely...and that's exactly what I did

Any additional comments?

It's a real shame there are only three books in the series
