Solid, But Not My Cup of Tea.

Revisado: 01-01-24

So I should start by saying I'm biased in two directions - I am not a huge Sci Fi person(star Trek, a side), but even then I'm not one for the science/techno side of it. I'm more interested in the story & the characters, which this book does fairly well. But I feel like the writing could have done more. And the ending is strangely abrupt and unsatisfying
Now for my other bias - I am a die hard #Critter & I absolutely LOVE Matthew Mercer! He does not disappoint as he performs these characters. Some were more nuanced than others, but again, I feel like that had more to do with the writing.
Overall, it's an enjoyable listen, but I didn't find myselfishing to hear what was next, like I have w/other audio books. It was something I went back to while shopping once a week. Not pressing, but a pleasant background with an interesting concept & decent story-telling.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Take a listen & decide for yourself!

The Start of It All...

Revisado: 09-18-18

My Favorite of the series & a wonderful introduction to this world, which is contemporary, nostalgic and whimsical all at once.
The one drawback (in my opinion) I would caution people about is the overly embellished phrasing and language used by Piers Anthony. It's his style but can be cumbersome to some, and just plan ostentatious to others.

A New Addiction Has Begun!

Revisado: 07-29-18

My husband recommended this series, but I just wasn't sure. I will admit that it was my love of James Marsters from Buffy fame as Spike that Got me to give it a try. Truth be told I was pleasantly surprised!
The story is compelling and the characters come alive, pulling the reader in without ever realizing it. And while "Spike" is nowhere to be found, it was impressive to see the range of Marsters' talent as he makes Harry Dresden REAL for the reader. There is a genuine sense of an actual person telling YOU their story as if confiding in a friend.
I lived this, start to finish and can't wait to read the rest! I'm hooked!

Another Fun Romp with My Favorite Doctor!

Revisado: 07-29-18

There are some very interesting characters here, which David Tennant does beautifully. The story is solid , but not spectacular. Still, it's an enjoyable read for any Whovian.

Not. their best

Revisado: 07-26-18

While David Tennant is entertaining, as always, the story & characters felt flat and did not capture my interest.

Not My Favorite Whovian Book!

Revisado: 04-30-18

David Tennant is astounding! Unfortunately, he's been given sub-par material to work with. The story is a bit weak and the characters (aside from The Doctor, Rose & Mickey), are very 2 dimensional. Lastly, the plot was predictable & lack-luster.

I'm In Love With A Monster!!!

Revisado: 04-27-18

Another mind-blowing performance by David Tennant & a thoroughly enjoyable story. The obvious "monster" is a real joy, while the more subtle monsters are quite disturbing ...and Tennant flows between darkness & light, flawlessly!

A LOT of Fun!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I had heard about this book for, literally, decades but wasn't sure I could get through it on my own, but I thought I might give it a go on audio. Then, (to my delight), I learned that Stephen Fry was narrating it, whom I adore so there we are! An excellent, amusing and silly romp through the mind of Douglas Adams, in the charming tones and native tongue of an Englishman! Brilliant!

Would you be willing to try another book from Douglas Adams? Why or why not?

I am interested in checking out it's sequel, but we shall see - I have quite a few books on my list of "To Read'.

What about Stephen Fry’s performance did you like?

I like him very much as a performer, in general. However, here, I felt that the dry, British tone added to the 'flavor' of the writing...if that makes any sense. It's somehow more - authentic.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

It IS a movie, and now that I've read the book I plan on seeing the film. :)

A Delight!

Revisado: 03-16-18

David's Doctor is every bit the roguish charmer he always is, and the story involves the listener, which is brilliant!
