Cool concept, extremely boring first episode

Revisado: 03-22-25

The concept was interesting to me, I love the idea of this tabletop game. But my god, this is a slog. I'm an hour in, about halfway through the first episode. It has all the excitement of watching a small group move into a dorm. They spend SO MUCH TIME on uninteresting minutiae. An hour in and nothing has actually happened yet, but I know what kinds of breakfast foods the characters enjoy, and which dorm rooms they're going to be living in. In other words, an hour in and there is no plot. I'm half expecting the next hour to be following the characters as they shop for socks, or do some chores.

And that Grey guy is super annoying. Even with all the boring minutiae, this episode would be a lot better without him. Seems like the kind of player who likes to throw a wrench in the spokes just to make life harder for the DM.

On top of all that, it seems that the players won't even be superheroes in this superhero game. They're players playing regular people who will be playing a superhero video game.

I'm going to push through this episode, but if nothing interesting happens, I won't move on the episode two.

Truly Underrated Story

Revisado: 06-10-23

First off, I am an unapologetic fan of the movie. To this day, I'll never understand why people give this movie flack. Batman gets a new movie every five minutes, but folks can't wait to bury every Superman film that comes out, which isn't that often.

If you're like me, you'll love this audiobook. it takes the story and expands on it. You get details you never got in the film, and innermonologues that give deeper insight into the motivations of the characters.

MINOR SPOILERS BELOW!!!

If you weren't a fan of the movie, one of my least favorite parts (or lack thereof) might be your favorite: they seem to have dropped the storyline of Superman's son. I rather liked that part, but it's absence isn't a dealbreaker for me. But if that part of the movie was a gripe of yours, this might help redeem the story for you.

Regardless of other people's opinions, I loved the movie, and I loved this book.

Who uploaded this??

Revisado: 05-26-22

why are the episodes out of order? Episode 2 is labeled Episode 10. Episode 3 is labeled Episode 9. etc.

I'd enjoy it a lot more if I knew what order to watch them in.

Good podcast, but the order of episodes is bonkers.

Flawed but Entertaining

Revisado: 09-28-21

The story was alright, maybe not the best, but good. The characters were pretty good, and I enjoyed it overall.

King, with his old age, has lost touch with the youth of today, and it shows in his strange dialogue choices. He remains present with the zeitgiest though, so certain things can be overlooked.

The performance of the narrator was alright. There were a few odd choices, as far as character voice and inflection goes, but he wasn't bad either.

It might not have been my favorite King novel, but it was pretty good.

I Have Chills

Revisado: 09-25-21

Yet another masterpiece!

Every book in this series is better than the last. Joe Abercrombie has woven together a story that kept me riveted from The Blade Itself to The Wisdom of Crowds.

The narration, masterfully spoken by the unmatched Steven Pacey, couldn't have been more perfect. every character had their own distinctive voice. His pacing and style of storytelling is like no other.

I really hope this isn't the end of The First Law.

Not Bad

Revisado: 12-08-20

This book isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I rather enjoyed it myself. The narrator was great. It might not be King's best, but it's really not that bad either.

Awesome Scifi Family Fun

Revisado: 11-07-20

Me and my son listened to this book together, and boy was it good. It hooked my kid immediately, and it was engaging and interesting enough to keep me entertained as well! We're both looking forward to listening to the sequel!

Fantastic sound design, writing, and voice work. Five stars, would highly recommend.
