Almost Perfect

Revisado: 04-29-22

I love it. The nararrator did a good job with an expressive voice and disting personalities for each character. Accents were not amazing, but definitely no the worst I've heard. The story is interesting and it's genuinely funny, and mixes the ridiculous backdrop and setting with the serious nature of the conflict in a way that doesn't feel jarring or forced. Maybe even a little too well, judging by some of these other reviews that seem to misinterpet what parts are supposed to be taken at face value. Social commentary may be a bit obvious, but being the first book in a series can often times focus more on setup for future elaboration and nuance, which I believe is the case here. It's one of my favorites, to the point where I wish he would release a third one before the next John Dies book.

Wonderful narration, charming story

Revisado: 01-29-22

As always, Fred Berman does an amazing job giving this story it's voice. I'm not a huge fan of Avranial's voice, but everyone else sounds amazing and distinctive, which isn't always the case with audio books. The story is still charming and kind of heartwarming. It repeats some details a little too often, and seems to have some small anachronisms that don't quite fit but none stick out so much that i have specific examples right now and ultimately it's still funny and fun with great characters who manage to to stay consistent and still subvert from time to time. I only wish I had a Timmy in my life when I was younger, and would put him in the same league as Uncle Iroh in the wholesome father figure department. I highly suggest the series for people looking for a lighthearted listen that manages to make you smile, both with humor and genuine warmth.

hilarious and intelligent.

Revisado: 12-22-21

A good book that uses a capitalistic fantasy backdrop to explore diversity and integration as well as the problems with different power structures while letting you enjoy a fun, if somewhat straightforward and formulaic, fantasy plot with just enough twists and humor to keep it interesting without trying too hard to be so. I really enjoy the anachronistic nature of the series and how the author blends it with a fairly well thought out fantasy society that feels realistic. I highly recommend this series. The performance is extremely well done, with my one complaint being that the female characters' voices are all somewhat similar, which is disappointing considering the range that the rest of the cast got.
