Love the series, just not this narrator

Revisado: 07-19-23

Right away the sharp, hissing sssssssssssss in almost every word pronounced by this narrator was a problem for me. They were shrill and piercing. And distracting. Other than that, it was fine. But it distracted from the story SO much for me, that I abandoned my much-loved characters halfway through. I just couldn't do it. Gave me a headache.

O.M.G.

Promising concept and a stellar review got me to try this one. The narrator killed it for me. Dragging, just north of a monotone, probably to effect "atmosphere" I suppose. Deadly. No fun. No excitement. No nothing.

Step in for a fun ride!

Revisado: 03-05-23

This guy has a knack for sweeping you off your figurative feet and taking you for a ride that never slows down. Everything Everywhere All At Once, indeed! Keep an open mind, and you will be fully entertained. Crazy, yes. Loved it, yes. Again.

Fun read

Revisado: 12-16-22

Not my usual fare, but I must say the story kept me fully engaged. The author’s turn of phrase was very entertaining to me. Must try to remember some of them. Thought the narrator was excellent and was surprised it was the author. Worth the time, for sure.

Fast-paced and immersive

Revisado: 11-23-22

Wow. This one never slows down! Love it when I find a series that makes me want to keep diving into the next volume. Wonderfully entertaining.

Absolute fun!

Revisado: 10-31-22

Quirky? Yes. Just put your regular beliefs aside and let the author take you on this ride -- it's loads of fun. I wanted to roll my eyes when I began, but I quickly stepped through that doorway...and...wow. Thoroughly enjoyable, fast paced, humorous. If you like Terry Pratt stuff, you should really enjoy this one. Recommend.

Disappointing after loving Baby Ganesh

Revisado: 10-17-22

There is no humor, no whimsy, no engrossing characters in this book. It's as different from the Baby Ganesh series as night is from day. Since I've been going through his other series so quickly, I thought I would branch out and try this. For me, it was a mistake. I found it boring, and I left after a few hours of listening. I won't be going back!

Cruel noir

Revisado: 08-15-22

My preference is for noir that is spoofy rather than dreary. This definitely falls into the latter category. I had only a little over an hour to go when I pulled the cord. I realized I was not being entertained, enthralled, or amused. Just repulsed. Not my choice of scene. Add to that the narrator (who is also the author) who really detracted from the story for me. He sounded as if he was a person who had been handed the book and told to read aloud, for the first time, never having seen the material before. It was flat, plodding delivery. I admit, I have been spoiled by some of the fine pro narrators that audible provides. Zachary Quinto would have done this up right, and I might have even stayed with it till the end.

Love this series

Revisado: 08-10-22

Wandered my way in to this series through the first Jimm Juree book, 'Killed at the Whim of a Hat' and never suspected how much I would enjoy the books, the writing, the characters, the plots. So very different from my usual choices, being set in Laos of the 1970s, but... Now I find that I quickly immerse myself and simply enjoy. People are the same everywhere, aren't they? The different faces and culture presented here really stretch the mind in a wonderful way. Highly recommend.
