Amazing Story

Revisado: 04-13-16

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

The subject matter, the research that went into it by the author, the voice acting. Everything about this version of the book was spellbinding. From start to finish I was hooked. I have listened to it over 30 times now and am sure to keep doing so. It is like comfort food for the mind. Never bland, always fun to return to. Everything about this book is spectacular.

Which character – as performed by Oliver Wyman – was your favorite?

Dr. Hartwell

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

There is a moment when all the threads of the story start to come together. A photo involving the Titanic, I grimly laughed out loud as it happened. Such a great moment. I do not wan to spoil it but it was damn fine storytelling.

Any additional comments?

Even if you are not a fan of the mythos, you will enjoy this book if you dig solid storytelling and things that are a little off the beaten path.

Never finished it

Revisado: 04-13-16

What disappointed you about No Such Thing As Werewolves?

It dragged. The concept seemed cool, the cover seemed cool, the setup seemed cool, but it never really went anywhere, I got more than half the book down and still just kind of felt like I was waiting for something more to happen.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Never finished

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator was fine enough, I think, I don't know the whole thing was just kind of off for me and I normally love this kind of stuff.

Any additional comments?

It was not horrible, do not let that be the take away, I think it was just not for me. It was written in a way that I thought it was going to be weird fiction or at least kind of a nice horror / modern pusdoscience romp and it just kind of came off like one of those B movies that makes it to theaters but everyone forgets about a year or so later. Not bad, just not what I thought it would be.

If you could sum up The Weird Company in three words, what would they be?

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

If you could sum up Krampus in three words, what would they be?

Damn Fine Storytelling

What did you like best about this story?

The blending of a good mythos and a modern culture

Have you listened to any of Kirby Heyborne’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not, but he did a damn fine job.

If you could take any character from Krampus out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Krampus. He is the Yule Lord, how much fun would it be to sit down with The Yule lord an chat about things.

Any additional comments?

Great book, give it a go. It is perfect for any time of year.

It was okay not great but not bad.

What did you like best about The Isle of Blood? What did you like least?

I enjoyed the island of bats. I did not really care for the payoff it was kind of lackluster.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

"Ehhh... okay"

Which character – as performed by Steven Boyer – was your favorite?

Dr. Warthrop

Was The Isle of Blood worth the listening time?

I mean, yeah I listened to it at work, it was not bad, just not that great.

Any additional comments?

The series kind of lost me with this one. The reviews of the next book then sent me down a path finding out some things and where the story is / was going and I never even bothered with the next one. This was kind of a lackluster end to what I thought could have been a really fantastic series.

More of the amazing Vimes.

Revisado: 04-13-16

What did you love best about Night Watch?

Same Vimes.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Same Vimes. He is everything a protagonist should be in my opinion. He is tired, he is slightly grumpy, he is just trying to get through the day and things keep messing up. He does not waver, he does not give up, he is not this brash hero, he is just a guy trying to get things done so he can go home and get some sleep.

Which character – as performed by Stephen Briggs – was your favorite?

Sam Vimes.

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

When Vimes's son is born and there is a moment between Carcer and Vimes and Vetinari every time it gets me, so many emotions, all really good ones.

Made me uneasy in a good way.

Revisado: 04-13-16

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

The source material.

What other book might you compare The Demonologist to and why?

There is nothing to compare it to that I know of. Sadly I wish there were more books out there like this one.

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

His voice was level, he was recalling things, not trying to add anything and for a book like this, that is exactly what you want.

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

Yes and no. I wanted to know what happened next, but at the same time the book made me uneasy a feat that is not easy to do. I go to sleep to horror movies and spend a lot of time working in the genera, this however unsettled me and I enjoyed that. It is nice to know I can still be put on edge.

Learning more about The Horsemen.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Darksiders: The Abomination Vault?

When War takes on the angels.

Which character – as performed by Bob Walter – was your favorite?

Death.

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

no, mostly because it is quite a long story and one sitting would get a little daunting I think.

Any additional comments?

If you enjoy the game, or the franchise, then by all means check out the book. It is faithful to the source material.
