Very little fun, a whole lot of activism

Revisado: 06-05-24

I was hoping for lots of fun and interesting health facts, but the book ended up being nearly all social and political activism. It made me question the accuracy or validity of anything he said. Disappointing and I wish I had stopped and requested a refund early on.

This series continues to deliver the goods! RC Bray makes it even better as usual.

Critical failures; certainly an appropriate title

Revisado: 06-19-19

This is a rinse and repeat of countless other stories of being sucked into a game world, but it had quite a lot of potential. However, the EXTREME use of the F-bomb and every other foul word you can think of nearly every other sentence is so over the top distracting and unnecessary that I couldn't finish the book. 1000 hit points to my IQ and sensibilities. This book would have a room full of sailors stating "Hey, watch the language." I'm no prude and have listened to plenty of books packed with foul language, but the difference is that other authors tastefully and appropriately weave it into the story. These characters literally can't make it from one sentence to the next without spewing a torrent of foul language with reckless abandon.

On the positive side, the reader impressively handled the multiple characters and did a top notch job. The characters were interesting and the world had potential for growth.

Entertaining but need pictures!

Revisado: 08-31-17

As expensive as audiobooks are you would think that you would get a companion eBook with pictures for free. The entire book refers to photographs which you can't see if you do not pay $13.00 for the companion book. If it wasn't for how enjoyable the narrator was I'd just get the print version.

Very enjoyable story, but horrible reader

Revisado: 03-25-14

I have listened to a LOT of audio books, and while there have been readers that I felt could have done better for the story I've never listened to one where the reader ruined the book.. Until now. Even though this is a great story, the reader was so bad that I almost gave up on it. When doing narrative he is passable, but when doing a character, especially a female character, it was just like listening to a 8 year doing a school play, literally. It was as if he was just trying to be silly on purpose with his lilting falsetto cadence. I cannot believe that a production company sat for that many hours and recorded him and thought it was all good. Maybe the author had no say-so in the matter but if someone butchered my story that bad I would never allow to be distributed. I may go back and read the print versions of these later, both books in the series really were quite clever but I'll be sure to nix any book I ever see again with this reader.

More of the same but goes nowhere, abrupt ending

Revisado: 11-25-13

I've been a big fan of this series and with the big wrap-up from the last book I figured this book would just tie up all the loose ends and happily ever after, rides of into the sunset, etc. but we find that there is more to be sorted out. That's good by me but this should have been the last book, everything could have and should have been done here. Give us a good 18 hour book and done. These are short books and I'm beginning to feel used by the author who I hope isn't just milking the $$$ slowly. I gave him a pass on the short 4.5 which still cost a full credit but let's get on with it. If this doesn't wrap up with the next book, or it turns out to be another short one then you've lost me. Let's have a BIG finish.

Fun and engaging

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

Other reviewers have said his sense of humor was a negative but I found it gave the story a lot of life. I really had a hard time with the reader though, it took a long time for me to get used to his voice and his performance did pickup (or maybe I just got used to it) as the story went on. I would not miss this book though because of the reader, it's definitely worth the credit. I enjoyed it at least as much as Day By Day Armageddon.

Near perfection, as if Tolkien was reading it!

Revisado: 01-07-13

What made the experience of listening to The Hobbit the most enjoyable?

Quality of narration

Who was your favorite character and why?

The hobbit, of course

What about Rob Inglis’s performance did you like?

Masterful interpretation of the characters personalities. He absolutely understood them.

Any additional comments?

Unlike Peter Jackson's recent movie disaster, this narrator "gets it" It is about a hobbit and his journey physically and spiritually. This reading totally captures the essence of the characters.
