It is a learning experience for everyone!

This is a fantastic take on Guards Guards, everyone is richly spoken, and you can hear the dirt in the voices of the long timers to the city.

Rumbling growls fit the alcohol blasted throat of Vimes, Colon is mild, Bobby is greasy with a smokers voice, and Carrot is innocent and idealistic as he should be.

Vetinari has a surprising rumble to him,but works with his early nihilism, and Sybil sounds appropriately worn down from her life till now.

Does it replace the older version? No, it is simply a delightfully different version.

If making Ahnk Morpok sound extra grungy is something you would enjoy, this us the telling for you.

A goblin can be a hero, and he can't avoid it

Love the series, rare to see many majority/totally nonhuman casts in major fiction for novels. Jig as simple want s, but like any reluctant hero, life won't let him have what he wants. Enjoy the chaos!

A little bit goes a long way

Having listened to the original audio book series for a few years now, this take on Rincewind is more true to life to how I envisioned. It is new, different, and fresh. A delightful listen.

A refreshing retelling

Revisado: 08-31-22

I love the Rincewind saga. he is in my cast of favorite characters. In this remarked of the original audio, we get a bit more character out of the voice acting for him.
It fits so perfectly well I fell in love with the character all over again.
Listen, and enjoy the ride.

Truth can be Hilarious

I first discovered Mr Ndiaye through his YouTube channel Casual Geographic, and his irreverent method of giving accurate information never fails to entertain. When he mentioned his book, I immediately got it in Audible and plan on getting it for Kindle and a Physical copy. if you love animals and a George Carlin sense of humor, Get. This. Book.

Loved how it ends.

Revisado: 03-27-15

It caps off its predecessor well with an ending that genuinely surprised me. Different from the series in a good way.

It's different...

Revisado: 03-25-15

I love the tv show, but this book is surprisingly melancholy. Not bad, just different.

That said, I love the looks into the crews heads. It's different but good.

A stable book in a great series.

Revisado: 02-25-15

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

Yes. I would recommend this book due to the fact that while not the best Redwall book, it show cases the best traits of the series. The story moves along well, the characters are engaging and the villains are a well written bunch.

What was one of the most memorable moments of High Rhulain?

The moments are not nearly as important as the choices of Atunra and Riggu Felis. Well chosen and delightful to listen too.

What does Brian Jacques and Full Cast bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Aside from the well played songs of the book, it gives the characters a new life due to the characters, making the world seem more realistic.

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

Not particularly, though listening to the villains bickering was always fun.

Any additional comments?

The biggest flaw of the book comes about as the sense of danger is minor. It is a very middle of the road book, and one of the few with an otter main character (as well as the only female otter main character). So it is not the best, but far from the worst.

The beginning of a Legend

Revisado: 02-14-15

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

Redwall is an interesting story. Many of the elements to be present in the rest of the series started here... But unrefined. Things vanish with no warning, and cultures are refined. Still, this is a good listen if you want to see where it all started, and if only for Cluny the Scourge. Jason Mulhearn takes what could be considered a villainous rasp, or deep rumble, and turns it into a smooth accented cadence all his own. He gave Cluny a clever voice, one full of guile. For all the flaws of this prototype of a book, he more than made up for them with such a unique villain's voice.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Hindsight is 20/20, and in this case, it is hard to say. This started the series I fell in love with years ago, but it is flawed. Rather than ask would I change it, I ask should I? After all, it is interesting to see a story evolve, and few series claim such an evolution.

Have you listened to any of Brian Jacques and Full Cast ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have, and it ranks high on the list. The voice sound natural for the characters, and have very little forcing behind them. The voices fit and the author's Narrative chops work well.

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

Not really, this is better taken in small bites than all in one go.
