Very distracting narrator

Revisado: 10-28-24

I can't make up my mind about the story because the narrator is so weird. It almost sounds like an Australian trying to do a British accent while trying to sound "all knowing". I don't wanna be mean, but it ruined it for me.

Boring and formulaic

Revisado: 06-09-24

I don't want to be ugly about it, but this book was really boring. Its as if you told a robot to make a fantasy novel. The story just never gets anywhere. It may actually be partially the narrators fault. He was killing me. This is one of the worst narrators in the world. I've really got to remember his name so I can avoid him ruining any other books for me.

The lack of conclusion. I believe they never did upload the last episode.

Good story that cliffhanger at the end. No conclusion just the moment before Jaime is executed. The end no more story.

Could have been good

Revisado: 09-24-23

I wanted this book to be good, but the characters just didn't behave in a believable way. There was only a fleeting sense of urgency overall about their kidnapped child. There were a few other things that took me out of the story like sex scenes that were just sort of worked in for what seemed to be no good reason. Like they were injected into the story later just to have them there, this book needed a better editor. The reader, Saul Reichlin, was quite good as he always is. Ive got 7 hours left on this book and I just dont want to.

I like it

Revisado: 09-09-19

this was a great story that my brain could just relax too. I like all the characters, especially the main character, and the narration was really really good.

pretty good as usual

Revisado: 07-03-19

I really love John Hodgman. he can do almost no wrong. I must admit to being disappointed that he took chapters 40 and 41 to bemoan his whiteness and the whiteness of white people. Very tedius and boring. The rest of the book was plain old regular Hodgman excellence!

Thee reader is fantastic!!

Revisado: 06-29-19

so, I think the whole world knows what to expect from this book. it's really great and the characters are memorable and likeable. I really enjoyed it a lot. But the performance by Lenny Henry is unbelievable. I just can't believe it was read by one person. each characters voice was distinct and believable. Accents were perfect and not even vaguely annoying but, when he was just reading the regular narration he would somehow just disappear. I'm looking for books narrated by him just to hear him more.

so boring

Revisado: 06-14-19

in this story, everyone is a tough guy and a loner. They just go around saying tough guy stuff and be all lone wolfy at each other. Dialogue is straight dookey.

Oh, Tom Robbins...

Revisado: 04-03-19

I really love this story. I really think I would have loved it more without the cheap political and ill informed religious stuff. Those parts were pretty barfy but mostly brief and largely irrelevant. Besides that stuff, great story and fantastic characters. Tom Robbins knows how to keep it fun.
