Ben Robart

An absolutely gripping book, must listen

Revisado: 12-06-17

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

I most definitely would - It's one of the most gripping reads (listens) I've had in a long time, and the author (Bryant Johnson) deserves a lot more recognition.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dialogue Prompt: "We Are Not Alone in the Universe!"?

I don't actually think there was one particular moment that stood out to me - The entire book was such an incredible one that I feel I'd be doing it an injustice to recommend one part over another!

What about Neil Keck’s performance did you like?

I feel like his voice was very well adjusted to the style of the book - He did an excellent job of keeping me hooked, and the quality of his performance throughout was flawless.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I think the author's own tagline would be perfect - "We are not alone...". It's ominous and gives any potential viewers an idea of what they're in for.

Any additional comments?

You need to go out and listen to this right now - The author has the potential to be hugely successful if enough people catch on to how great their writing is!

Utterly unoriginal, banal nonsense.

What would have made Ketogenic Diet Beginner's Guide better?

An entirely different author. Everything about the author's style of writing was utterly disappointing and I'd have rather spent a few hours bashing my head against the wall.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Anything not by this author!

Would you be willing to try another one of Rebecca Roberts’s performances?

Probably, yes - Despite the sour taste left in my mouth by the appalling author.

What character would you cut from Ketogenic Diet Beginner's Guide?

Character?? I'd cut the entire lot out and start over!

Any additional comments?

Avoid at all cost. I wouldn't even be surprised to find out this entire book is a massive joke.

If you could sum up In Defense of Jimmy Bramble in three words, what would they be?

Captivating, original, and dark.

What other book might you compare In Defense of Jimmy Bramble to and why?

This reminds me of some of James Patterson's work, which is a lot to say given that he's one of my favourite authors!

What about Gary Murrell’s performance did you like?

I felt that the narrator's voice was incredibly well suited to the tone and atmpshere of the book - His voice was also incredibly engaging and made me want to carry on listening.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There weren't too many laugh out loud moments and I didn't cry, although I did feel incredibly enticed and captivated by the atmosphere of the book, which was very well done/

Any additional comments?

This was an absolutely incredible read/listen from start to finish and I'd thoroughly recommend it! A definite page-turner.

Tense, grimy, and hilarious - A must read

Revisado: 03-28-17

What did you love best about Immortal: Curse of the Deathless?

I absolutely loved the way the book was written - Its pacing was perfect and it had an excellent mix of humour and action. The author definitely knows what he's doing and I was always left wanting more.

What other book might you compare Immortal: Curse of the Deathless to and why?

I feel like this is slightly similar to some of James Patterson's novels, particularly the Max series - There's never been much to satisfy my craving for more of the franchise but this definitely did the job!

What about Nik Magill’s performance did you like?

I feel like the narrator's performance was fitting to the tone of the book - You could hear the emotion in his voice and personally, I felt incredibly engaged throughout. I'll definitely be on the lookout for more of his work!

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

I can't recall any one moment in particular, although there's definitely a massive mix of emotions in this book - I remember myself finding a couple of moments in the book emotional, but at the same time there were some laugh out loud moments as well as nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat action scenes.

Any additional comments?

I'd absolutely recommend this book to anyone - From action enthusiasts to supernatural fans, to people who are just looking for a funny read. It covers all bases and I'll definitely be listening to/reading more of the author's works.

Absolutely riveting, loved this start to finish!

Revisado: 02-22-17

What made the experience of listening to In Defense of Jimmy Bramble the most enjoyable?

Personally, the most enjoyable part of listening to this book was the way the book was written - The language used was engaging and always left me wanting more! I also feel that the narrator did a good job. His performance was excellent and was always appropriate to the tone, which is something a lot of narrators seem to fall short with.

What was one of the most memorable moments of In Defense of Jimmy Bramble?

There were multiple memorable moments in this book for me - There were a number of twists which always caught me off guard and were never at all predictable which a lot of twists fail to accomplish. Personally, I found these incredibly memorable as they were always a shock!

What about David Magowan’s performance did you like?

I feel that the narrator's tone was excellent and always matched the atmosphere of the book. He was incredibly engaging and made me feel welcome when listening to the book. He also paces his voice very well and doesn't rush through or let himself slump when narrating, which is a massive plus!

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

Personally, I found a number of Jimmy's decisions to be quite moving - choosing to leave his childhood sweetheart behind was quite an emotional moment for me. I also found some of the moments where Jimmy felt lost in life to be quite relatable and relevant to me!

Any additional comments?

I fully recommend this book to anyone, whether they're a fan of the genre or not - It's an excellent read from start to finish and is thoroughly compelling!

Absolutely incredible, truly an enjoyable listen!

If you could sum up The Digital Banking Revolution in three words, what would they be?

Informative, revolutionary, and fascinating!

What other book might you compare The Digital Banking Revolution to and why?

I honestly can't think of anything that compares to this book - There's so much new and intriguing information in this that nothing even comes close to being on par or similar to this.

Which scene was your favorite?

There are no "scenes" per se in this book as it's non-fiction, but I particularly liked that the entire book was on various technological advances in the industry - Being a programmer myself I found this absolutely fascinating.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Technology - For better or for worse?

While there's a lot of technological advances in the banking industry, I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not - It allows potentially corrupt bankers to either manipulate or predict how the industry will go, and this could be terrifying for some people!

Any additional comments?

I'd recommend this book to anyone whether they're interested in banking/finance or not - I'm not but it appealed to me as a programmer, and I definitely don't regret it - It was absolutely fascinating from start to finish even to an outsider of the industry.

Absolutely incredible, I feel so much better now!

Revisado: 02-06-17

Would you consider the audio edition of The New Atkins Diet Quick Start Guide: A Faster, Simpler Way to Lose Weight and Feel Great - Starting Today! to be better than the print version?

I would say it's much better, yes - It's more convenient to put this on when you're walking around the house or travelling than it is to sit down and stop what you're doing to read it. The print version is definitely good but I feel like this would have to be the ultimate version to get.

What did you like best about this story?

This isn't a story per se, but I loved all of the tips in it to lose weight quickly! Not only did they help tremendously, they also meant I feel better about not just the way I look, but also how I feel health wise.

What about Rebecca Roberts’s performance did you like?

I feel like Rebecca Roberts' voice was incredibly well suited to this - It was easy to listen to, friendly, and most importantly of all, encouraging - I felt like she definitely helped to spur me on in my will to lose weight!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I didn't laugh or cry when listening to this book, but it definitely helped my body to have an extreme reaction - I feel so much better in my health and how I feel about my body now!

Any additional comments?

I would fully recommend this book to anyone looking to lose weight or get healthier - I've tried countless other resources out there and nothing has managed to help as well as this audiobook has! This is absolutely a 10/10 in my eyes, it's definitely a necessity!

Absolutely incredible, possibly my favourite book!

Revisado: 01-27-17

What made the experience of listening to Waiter to the Rich and Shameless the most enjoyable?

For a start, the narrator's voice was incredible - I'd never heard of them until today but they sound like they should be a world renowned superstar!

The book itself was also incredibly well written, and each time just as I was about to stop listening to do something else I was left wanting more and carried on!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Waiter to the Rich and Shameless?

I feel like the most memorable part of this book wasn't a moment but a character - The transformation we see Pauli's character make is incredible and extremely relatable! I won't give too much away but it was definitely a fascinating transition or two...

Which character – as performed by James Patrick Cronin – was your favorite?

Again, I'd have to say Pauli's character was my favourite - He was incredibly relatable and continued to be despite ever-changing surroundings. His outlook on life is also something we can all align ourselves with and his prominence in the book helps you to find out a lot about him.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both! There are so many sections of this book that make you laugh out loud but there are also sections where you'll either be on the verge of tears or actually crying. The balance between the two is incredibly and never overstays its welcome.

Any additional comments?

This book was absolutely incredible! I loved it from start to finish and was entirely hooked. I'd recommend it to both veterans of the genre and anyone who's new to the genre without any hesitation at all.

Absolutely incredible, chilling and disturbing!

What made the experience of listening to Amney the most enjoyable?

I feel like the narrator really helped bring this story together, their narrative style was incredibly well suited to this book and I feel like it worked really well.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Personally, my favourite character was Adam - I feel like I could easily relate to him and his feelings, it's almost like the author was inside my mind when writing him

What about Skyler Morgan’s performance did you like?

I feel like their narrative style was incredibly well suited to this book - It was unsettling and gave the write setting to the story as a whole.

If you could rename Amney, what would you call it?

I'd simply call it Ouija - It's enough to let the listener/reader know what the book's about, but doesn't give too much away and should hopefully leave them wanting to read/listen to it!

Any additional comments?

This was an absolute blast to listen to, it was chilling and as someone who's not necessarily into the genre, I gave this a go on a whim because of the blurb and was really blown away by how incredible it is!

What did you love best about Unclear to Me?

Honestly, I loved the entire thing - Every single part of this was well written. The author's vocabulary had a wide range but was easy to understand and digest, and the narrator was an excellent choice for this kind of book.

What did you like best about this story?

Personally, I loved the author's writing style - As I mentioned, it was easy to understand and digest but also well written, but I also feel that their writing style is incredibly original and I found the writing to be quite unsettling in places, in a good way!

What does Charles Denton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I feel like the narrator was an excellent choice for this book - Charles adds an extra sense of atmosphere that I don't think I'd quite have got if I'd read it myself.

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

Definitely, in fact, I did! It was short enough that I was able to listen to this in one sitting, and it left me wanting more!

Any additional comments?

I fully recommend this book to anyone, even if you're not necessarily interested in the genre - I was hooked from start to finish and couldn't give it higher praise!
