Great story! Will there be a second part?

What if people could not get murdered? What if you got killed and died and woke up naked in your bed, at home? What if you were terminally ill and undergoing a surgical procedure and things went wrong? What do you mean by home? Your home? Someone else's home?

And what if your job was to dispatch dying or badly injured people so they could get a chance at surviving? This is the job of Tony Valdez, and he is one of the best in the field.

But now his colleague is missing, and ha has been roped by the police to assist him in finding him. Plus, if he doesn't, the missing dispatcher's wife has vowed to run him over.

And some things are worse than death.

It was a brilliant reading by Zachary Quinto, and a fantastic listen by Scalzi. I do hope that we will see the return of Tony Valdez. Pretty please?

It is okay

The premise of the story is great. The writing is good, if overwrought. The performance is superb. It's just that it goes on and on and it could have used some clever editing to move the story more smoothly.

So much fun!

Revisado: 03-05-13

Charley Davidson has problems. She is *the* Grim Reaper, and sees dead people. All the time. The problem is, dead people keep asking her to help with their unfinished business.

Oh, and then there is the mysterious "Big Bad," who protects her and freaks her out at the same time.

Darynda Jones is a skillful story teller, who manages to tell a compelling, funny, and sometimes heartbreaking mystery tale. On the other hand, Lorelei Hand, the narrator, does justice to all the characters and bring them to life in all their colorful glory.

I am now hooked on the series, and have downloaded Book 2.

It's okay if you're into zombies

Revisado: 06-14-12

I will start by saying that I am a big fan of Steve Hockensmith's Holmes on the Range series, and I love Katherine Kellgren's narrating style. So when I saw that this production was written by the first and performed by the second, I rejoiced.

Having said that, Dawn of the Dreadfuls turned up to be a mildly amusing book, with none of the suspense and charm of the Holmes of the Range series. It was still fun, as it's still a Hockensmith book, and Kellgren is an excellent narrator, but the story just kept going on and on with no end in sight. It was sort of cute, but it did get predictable.

Or maybe I am more into mysteries and not into zombies.

Who knows.

Great Listen!

What did you love best about Odd and the Frost Giants?

Neil Gaiman is not only an amazing writer, but he's one of the best narrators out there. Once I begin, I just cannot stop. This story takes on Norse sagas, from the point of view of a kid coming on age. His portrayal of Norse gods is both hilarious and totally human. It's Gaiman at his best. I highly recommend it.

An addictive little series

Revisado: 05-04-12

What made the experience of listening to The Case of the Man Who Died Laughing the most enjoyable?

I just fell in love with Vish Puri, the Indian Sherlock Holmes (don't call him Sherlock) and his band of ragtag operatives. And you have to love his Mummy G and his wife, who unbeknownst to him tackle their own investigations. The narrator is fantastic, and I got hooked up from the beginning. I just couldn't stop listening! Now I am dowloading Book1, and I am hoping that Book 3 becomes available soon.

What did you like best about this story?

It gives you an interesting insight on Indian culture, food, and family life. Although the topic of the mystery was a serious one, the way its written and narrated is hilarious. And the narrator rocks.

What about Sam Dastor’s performance did you like?

Everything. All of the characters sound like different characters. When Mummy G talks, it's Mummy G's voice you hear. Same with Facecream, Vish Puri and everyone else. He is very engaging.

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

I don't want to provide a spoiler. However, Facecream moved me. What happened to her in the past, especially when she has to show her scars.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend these series. They are a lot of fun.

Very entertaining

If you could sum up Bad Things Happen in three words, what would they be?

Light, fast, fun

Would you recommend Bad Things Happen to your friends? Why or why not?

I would. It's a light listen. Very engaging. There are some lose threads at the end, and you have to suspend disbelief. Despite all that, it was a

What about Erik Davies’s performance did you like?

He really gets into the character.

Any additional comments?

This is not the deepest novel ever, but it's really entertaining and you will find that you can't turn your device off. You always want to know what happens next.
