Porter is a wonderful actor with brilliant voices and a charming main character—which is a big plus because the main character could easily have been super annoying. Story is creative, fun, and so thought-provoking. No wonder this series has been so popular! Also worth noting that the main character’s background is software engineer—like the author’s. Makes the story more believable.

At 67 hours, this wonderful classic could easily be a slog even with a decent narrator, but Bill Homewood is such a fine actor you can visualize every moment and every character. (Highly recommend his narration of The Count of Monte Cristo too.) I listen to most books at 2x speed but am listening to this one at the full 67 hours because it’s such a pleasure.

Fun, British, sarcastic, twisty story. Narrator was so enjoyable that now I’m looking for more books he’s read.

Enjoyed all of them, Crouch’s most and the first story the least. So if it doesn’t grip you right away, keep going. Each is quite different from the other. Excellent narration across the board.

I wasn’t familiar with the story and had so much fun listening to this book. Wonderful narrator. The story is pretty simple, focused on love and honor, only 9 characters. It breezes by and leaves you warm and fuzzy.

Wonderful storytelling, great narrator too. Nightbreaker is exciting, scary, sweet, funny, mysterious—gives you all the feels. Enjoyed how each chapter revealed another piece of the situation, the back story, and the mystery. The world building is captivating. Can’t wait for Book 2.

THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO is dark, fascinating, disturbing, and fun. If you enjoy Victorian adventure stories, you’ll probably love it. You already know to expect sexism, racism, and elitism. You’ll find a big dose of Orientalism here too. But I felt Dumas was making fun of those perspectives even if he couldn’t entirely separate himself from them. Honor figures prominently throughout, even as the hero becomes an anti-hero. Juicy villains abound.

It took me a little while to get used to Bill Homewood’s narration, because his female voices don’t sound feminine at all and some the accents seemed over the top. But I appreciated him more and more as I listened. Bill Homewood is a wonderful actor and his passion makes the 68 hour experience truly delightful. I’m looking forward to listening to the other classics he narrates.

Read this upon the recommendation of my daughter—it is her favorite book ever assigned in any English class. I loved the concept and the poetic nature of the history telling, but the narrator is quite stoic. Wish I could have heard the stories read with more feeling. Nonetheless, it is excellent. Very creative, and leaves you with a tremendous amount of food for thought.

Whatever you might assume about this book, it is probably more nuanced than that.

This book is promising at the beginning, slows for a while in the middle, and leaps up at the end. If you bail, it definitely won’t be satisfying. Disregard any realism-related critiques—you know when the octopus starts talking that this is not a realistic story. The book felt to me like a poem, with melancholy, healing, and a little bit of magic. This wasn’t my usual genre (I’m just an octopus fan) but it touched me and I’m glad I listened.

The scope is far beyond the scope of the earlier books. Just be ready that the characters seem less important than the arc of history and the philosophical questions it explores. I liked how the ending tied so many threads together. Was my favorite book of tte series. The most interesting new character was non-binary, and I wished we could have heard what they were thinking.
