A section of poor quality audio

A nice abridged retelling of classic history. The narration is fine, though there is a lengthy section where the audio quality drops, and it sounds like the narrator is speaking through a gramophone or while locked in another room.

A Perfectly Fine Continuation

Several other reviews indicate the narrator ruins this book.
I found that to be not the case at all.
Yes, listening to 11 books with Toby Longworth makes this switch notable at first. Yes, Larkin's first line sounds like a dying parrot mimicking an old crone. The narrator quickly mellows out Larkin's voice, and does a perfectly fine job in all other respects. And, of course, we can't blame this narrator for changes to voices or pronunciation, as this audiobook was released prior to the others.

The book itself is another fun change of pace for the Ghosts. This book leans on character drama, perhaps to the point of being soapy at points, but there's enough action and you should care enough about the characters this far into the story to abide it.

If you've gotten this far listening to Gaunt's Ghosts, I see absolutely no reason to stop before this book.

The music and sound effects are so ridiculous that they make it almost impossible to focus on the story. The abridging leaves you lost in the story, missing large chunks of time and feeling as confused and amnesiac as the protagonist.

I loved the movies. After finishing this, I still have no idea if I would have liked the book.

Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Poor Imitation

The premise is intriguing, but unfortunately the story fails in replicating the all-too-crucial evocation of mystery found in either Lovecraft or Doyle's works. The characterization of two of fiction's foremost characters, Watson and Holmes, is unfaithful to the source material to an immersion-breaking extent.

Audible offers a fantastic deal on original works from both authors, which I recommend leaps and bounds over this poor imitation.

If you love the originals, this story will not compare either in prose or story. If you don't love the originals, why would you bother reading this?

A well-narrated, classic tale.
In my opinion much better than 20,000 leagues, which I found to be dull.
This doesn't book lack in any of the antiquated science that inspires the imagination, and adds much drama to keep the pace entertaining.

None of these stories are great, but none of them overstay their welcome. Overall: worth the price of "included with audible membership"

An apocalyptic tale with heart. Little action, little adventure, just the pathos and despair of a father and his son eeking by day after day.
I think the book resonates truly to some notions of fatherhood and depression, whether or not you live on a dying planet.

A well narrated, classic tale.
I've always known of the book, but never read it before. It's easy to see why this tale has stuck with so many

It isn't Peter Pan, more of a fan fiction of the original story.
The roles aren't superbly well acted, and the audio isn't always intelligible.
I'd say you're better off listening to the original
