A rehash of old stories and characters

Revisado: 04-09-25

I enjoy Mayberry’s books but this one was a rehash of a rehash of old stories and characters. Nothing really new. I enjoyed listening and Ray Porter’s performance was excellent as always but this was a distinct downgrade in story quality. I think the author has run out of ideas.

A unique story

Revisado: 04-04-25

The story plays out as a series of interviews. While the post-apocalyptic nature of the tale was similar to many others the way it plays out was unique. The actors were fantastic and the story was good but felt incomplete and ended abruptly. The ending could’ve used a bit more. Worth a listen.

Too short, not well thought out.

Revisado: 10-20-24

I’ve listened to this entire book series and while the author got better as they went along for the most part, this book was a big drop off in quality. It was too short, not fully fleshed out and made massive story jumps like the first few novels. David wolf is an overall shallow amalgamation of detective character traits and not really a great lead character. The series as a whole is mid-level at best with better than average narration.

An interesting and enjoyable tale

Revisado: 09-12-24

The alterations to the world of Sherlock and in this case Mycroft Holmes were well suited to the story and provided a fun, entertaining and engaging story. The narration was above average but not exceptional. I enjoyed the way the authors explored younger versions of the characters and have seen them come into their own over the 3 volumes. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys Sherlock Holmes stories but do be prepared to accept alterations in details of the original characters.

The overall series gets better as it goes

Revisado: 07-02-24

Decent narration though the narrator doesn’t do accents just the same basic male and female voices for all characters. The series starts slow and feels like the first 3 books should all be one story. After that it picks up and gets interesting. Worth a listen but not spectacular writing or narration.

A fun story and better than the first book

Revisado: 01-18-24

The narrator is boring and can’t do voices well. But at 1.2x speed it was alright. A fun story and interesting take on the mysterious island. I will be reading the 3rd book in the series.

Decent story, main character isn’t and narration is terrible

Revisado: 01-15-24

The story had all the bones to be good but the main character in this whole series is weak and unlikable. The narrator sounds like his dentures are loose and can’t do voices or pronounce words correctly, even changed pronunciations through the book. Sonya is a badass bitch

A fun, absurd romp

Revisado: 05-27-23

I enjoyed bubba the monster hunter so I thought I’d give this a go. It’s a little darker and the character development is more interesting. Like I’m bubba the author has fun stories but often changes the details of his character’s back stories as if he forgot what their skin/hair/eye color or age were. Otherwise worth a listen if you enjoy horror/action/comedy.

Entertaining but lacks depth of story

Revisado: 02-03-23

A fun, silly adventure that relies more on the absurd than wit or depth of story or characters.
