Would you try another book from G.L. Davies and/or David Ayers?
Probably not.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
The story was OK but the haunting described was hardly worthy of being called "A most" anything.
The story is supposed to be a "true story" but it contained that hackneyed plot point of "we bought a haunted house but now we're too poor to sell it." Really?? Ever heard of just selling the damn thing even at a loss and moving on with your life..... This is annoying to me because we all know that sooner or later something is going to happen and then the people do move out.
What didn’t you like about David Ayers’s performance?
Throughout the book there was background noise that was totally distracting. It seemed like this audiobook must have been recorded in someone's kitchen because at times, you could clearly hear the sounds of someone doing dishes, and at other times you could clearly hear a young girl speaking softly. About 2/3 of the book had these background noises. Totally annoying.
What character would you cut from A Most Haunted House?
None.
Any additional comments?
None.

This first book of the Holding Their Own series, A Story of Survival, is set in the year 2015, when the world is burdened by the second Great Depression. The United States, already weakened by internal strife, becomes the target of an international terror plot. A series of attacks results in thousands of casualties and disables the country's core infrastructure. The combination of economic hardship and the staggering blow of the terror attacks results in a collapse of the government.

Who the heck produced this thing?????

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The story itself was moderately compelling but the production and narration of this book were just dreadful. I listen to audiobooks pretty much non-stop, and I can say with complete honesty that this was by far the worst narration job to which I have ever listened. It had me wincing on a fairly regular basis. Seemed that any word over two syllables was just more than the poor guy could handle. Please Joe, in future, get a "Somebody" to narrate your books!
I have never felt the need to write such a negative review before, but this book has forced me too.
Would you recommend Holding Their Own: A Story of Survival to your friends? Why or why not?
No. Too painful to listen to.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
In every conceivable way.
