This book got me into Greek mythology

Revisado: 04-22-23

I love this book. I’ve listened to it many times and have learned so much. I also like the Greek heroes and the series as well. I would recommend this book to any adult or child who wants adventure and humor, but also to learn I bit about Greek mythology

Pity party

Revisado: 08-27-15

Maybe if I could have stuck it out to the end, I could have felt some sympathy for this character. But she is just so whiny, unmotivated and self-destructive, I couldn't stand it any longer. I only made it 2/3 of the way through before I could no longer justify surrounding myself with such negativity. Not a single redeeming quality to the character, and the inside of her head is the only perspective you get to have. Thank goodness for the delete button.

Absolutely unlistenable

Revisado: 03-18-13

The narrator of this story was so annoying, particularly his portrayal of the teenage girl, that I had to turn it off after a couple of chapters. It seemed like it could be an interesting story, but I could not fight through the narration long enough to find out. Very disappointed!

Pure fun!!

Revisado: 11-20-12

This story was just an absolute delight, beginning to end. The narrator really sounded like a carefree 20-something guy trying to find his place in the world. The wit and silliness of the main character's commentary was fun and just the right touch of humor. I do wonder what the written version of this book looks like, though that might just be the graphic designer in me wanting more visual input. While I had fun imagining what the crazy code books looked like and what the font might be, I do wonder if the printed version provided samples. Other than that, it was definitely an easy, fun listen, and I have recommended this to all my friends!

So hard to turn this one off!

Revisado: 10-08-12

I had such a hard time turning this one off! There was always a new twist around the corner, and I was hooked after the first hour. The dual narration (male and female) really made this story come to life. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves untangling a web of deception.

OK plot; tedious storytelling.

Revisado: 10-08-12

While the overall arc of this book was interesting, the pacing was tedious. It was definitely not a book that made me circle the block so I could finish a scene. In fact, I sometimes zoned out for a minute or two and never had to rewind to catch what I missed. Often, it felt like a dry history lecture. As for the action sequences, the events were described in such detail that it seemed like it took 15 minutes to get through just three or four seconds of "real-time" adventure. I also got really annoyed at the sarcastic dialogue between the two main characters. Just once I wanted one of them to answer a question with a straight answer instead of a "witty" retort. It was an OK story for our long road trip, but I won't be seeking out another book by this author.
