One voice for all! 😡

Revisado: 11-18-24

The fact that this is the worst Hap & Leonard story thus far is not helped in the slightest by the change in narrator!
Every single sentence felt as if it were being slowly extracted by a rusty pair of pliers!
And there was virtually NO distinction between character voicing!
I tried to get a refund immediately, but I’d made the foolish mistake of purchasing the book since I hadn’t received my next point yet, and audible’s money-grubbing policy doesn’t allow for anything so fair and just. ;)

Near perfect!

Revisado: 09-01-24

Beautifully paced and completely riveting!
Lansdale is a wonderful storyteller and Will Collyer did an excellent job of naration with the fewest logical/reading errors of any audiobook I've listened to!

Intolerable speech.

Revisado: 04-24-24

While the content was informative, it was disjointed and poorly assembled.
I tried to get a refund due to the author’s horrendous speech “impediment”, but could not as I’d purchased the title outright as I had no credits available at the time and was unaware of Audible’s shadily conditional return policy (live and learn).
If you expect narrators to be able to properly pronounce their native language, and you value your sanity, this audiobook is NOT for you.

Perfect Plot & Pace!

Revisado: 07-03-23

To me, very reminiscent of “The Talisman”!
This time, however, no Straubian collaboration was necessary.
Very rich world and character-building legitimizes everything and reinforces suspension of disbelief.
My only issue is with King’s seemingly ubiquitous inclusion of AA and the 12-step program.
Simply a beautiful story, beautifully told (and read)!

Long-time Demille fan. This may be my last!

Revisado: 10-31-22

Absolute garbage!!!
Starts out with 12 solid chapters of internal dialogue and close reasoning based on brief conversations with other characters we already knew from previous books.
When action finally does take place, it’s mostly a vicarious exploration of Mr. Demille’s sexual and misogynistic fantasies.
The whole thing felt like a Woody Allen movie and, just as with a Woody Allen movie, I felt dirty and in need of a shower after the experience.
Goodbye Nelson. :(

Excellent content! Terrible narration!

Revisado: 08-17-22

This series is rife with excellent ammunition and sound logical arguments!
Absolutely invaluable.
Unfortunately, Fitzgerald is NOT a professional narrator, nor even a decent reader.
In addition to his subtle speech impediment and painfully obvious conscious effort to speak well, he often mispronounces terms and even bungles the stresses in text he, himself wrote!
This points, not only, to the lack of a professional narrator, but also the lack of a competent director/editor. :(

I’ll never know…

Revisado: 01-27-22

I’ll never know how this one turns out (without reading it, of course), because this narrator is absolutely AWFUL!!!
Who the hell pronounces Wamphyri “WHAM-fear-ee”??!!
This, countless other mispronunciations, and the use of reverb render this audiobook utterly unlistenable!

Excellent story, poorly read.

Revisado: 06-07-20

Richard Ferrone was either given to mispronunciations and grammatical errors or the editor was remarkably lax...or both.
A good story nonetheless.

Absurd, but fun.

Revisado: 03-12-20

First off, Richard Poe needs to learn the difference between NASA and Nassau!
Hell, he’s not even consistent about it!
Second, the producer and/or editor need to understand that the listener does NOT want to hear Mr. Poe slobbering, swallowing, and smacking his lips.
That being said, the story’s a lot of fun even when told in predictable Dan Brown style.
Mr. Brown’s penchant for childishly ridiculous obfuscation is ever present but at least it doesn’t conflict with the audiobook medium as it does in “Angels & Demons”.

Great story, difficult performance.

Revisado: 07-17-19

Wil Wheaton’s speech impediment makes this VERY difficult to endure.
He was undoubtedly selected due to his being referenced in the book itself.
NOT sufficient justification!
You don’t hire a tone deaf person to sing, and you shouldn’t hire someone with a speech impediment to read!
