Fantastic fun!

Revisado: 11-19-23

As co creator of this fun adventure. I must say you’re in for a treat. We always wanted to port the Arthurian Legend over to a western. You’d be surprised at how well it lines up. But don’t take my word for it check it out yourself!

This will be multiple parts. So don’t think it ends here. The rest is coming! Enjoy!

Intense! Well Crafted! Best Narrator ever!

Revisado: 09-22-19

The title says it all. I discovered this series not knowing a single thing about it. I did not stop until I burned through all three books in this trilogy. I only took a break after these three so I could enjoy his other books in the world at a later time. This was also my first Steven Pacey narrated piece. He has to be the best narrator I've ever heard. He gives all the characters their distinct voice and you really feel the differences.

You either like vanilla ice cream or you don't.

Revisado: 09-22-19

Everyone likes ice cream. Clive Cussler is the delightful vanilla Ice cream of the action adventure genre. Always fun, always absurd to the point that makes you smile. Ever since I was a kid I've enjoyed the Dirk Pitt series. He's like Indiana Jones and James Bond in a scuba mask. This is the first one I've listened too. I wasn't disappointed, in fact it feels like getting together with an old friend. Clive Cussler books aren't going to change your life or your views on anything, they are just fun summer popcorn thrillers.

Wow.

Revisado: 09-22-19

This is such a strange true tale. It's completely crazy how easily H. H. Holmes pulled this off. Almost as equally fascinating is the telling of the building and start of the Worlds Fair. If you are into true crime at all. Or even just a history buff. This is a must.

Pretty solid like most King efforts

Revisado: 09-22-19

Lets face it he's a really good writer that knows how to start and get you interested in a story, but isn't necessarily sure how to finish said tale. Not to say this ending is bad. Certainly not as bad as some of his books, its okay. But right near the end I started to say to myself "hmmmm really?" and "wait what's happening?" Just a little bit, not enough to ruin this. It's still a good listen and Will Patton does a great job.

Fantastic! It's taken too long to get me here.

Revisado: 08-17-19

I should apologize to myself for not reading/listening this one earlier. I've always loved King, but for some reason I never picked this one up. Its a joy to discover a treasure years later. LOVED it!

After 10 mins I was done.

Revisado: 08-17-19

I can't really write a review since I was so disinterested within the first 10 mins I deleted it. I am super glad it was one of those free choices Audible offered for my gold membership. I can start with the narrators voice being awful enough I knew I couldn't listen to him tell a story. As a side note this is YA, which is also not my style.

I normally love his books...

Revisado: 08-17-19

This one just stretched a few things a little too far. Yeah I know, I know, it's what Rollins does and normally I'm cool with that. But this was my least favorite of the series so far. I'm a little tired of the narrator as well, he's not bad, just kind of dry. I go through a lot of books on Audible and this was the very first time I ever tried the 1.5 speed option to finish the book. Which kind of made it funny and more tolerable at the end.

I'll give it about a month before I move onto the next book in the series. There's a new narrator for that one so we shall see.

It's no book 1

Revisado: 02-18-17

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I really enjoyed book 1 but this one felt "phoned in" the performance was fine but once the sentient things start arguing with each other the voices became very over the top and I started to cringe when certain things would talk. The story was shoe horned into an old D&D module I enjoyed as a kid, but it really feels forced. I haven't decided if I'll give book 3 a chance yet as this was just too silly at times.

Wow Flashback city

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

This book was fantastic. My brother has been trying to get me to check it out for years. I'm so glad I finally did. It's chock full of the stuff I grew up on, this was a pleasure from beginning to end...it even started me into playing DnD again. Wait, maybe thats not a good thing. LOL

Which character – as performed by Wil Wheaton – was your favorite?

At first Will felt very..."Will" but I soon got into it and its clear he was a fan of the story, he really gets into it.

Any additional comments?

If you grew up in the 80s this is for you and you're welcome.
