Zero Pacing, Zero Editing

Revisado: 12-13-15

Narrator was clearly on amphetamine whilst reading this and on acid when he edited, if he even did. The number of 5 star reviews is suspicious to say the least, given the number of errors in the text, repeated lines, random laughing in the middle of passages.

Story could have been great if done by a professional

Good story. Great performance

Revisado: 12-03-15

This was a great listen. I'm not quite sure I'd class it as an out and out horror though, more of a thriller with a supernatural element.

The narrator did an all round excellent job. His voice is deeply resonant and perfectly suited to the material.

If I had to have one criticism, it would be that the author should have broken up the structure a bit better, more than once the narrator paused for a POV change and said 'Two' making me wonder if I had skipped back by accident.

Definitely give this a go!

Decent content delivered poorly

Revisado: 07-02-15

The content of the book was OK, there are a few bits and pieces in it that might be useful, nothing you couldnt find by googling though.

I swear if it wasn't for the mouth noises that this was narrated by a text to speech engine.

Truly awful narration

90's Action Fans Will Love It

Revisado: 03-27-14

I cannot put my finger precisely on why I didn't enjoy this book as much as I wanted to.
Perhaps it was the Keanu Reeves style narration delivery (The characterisations were far better). Perhaps it was the numerous errors (Kirsten,Kristen which is it?). Perhaps it was the product placements which ground my gears? Did we *really* need to know it was a Sony monitor, or an Apple MacBook?

All that said, I think it just didn't excite me the way the author intended. It was all just a bit hollywood for me. I like my fiction to have grit, real emotion and characters I care about.

This had none of that.

If you loved 90's SciFi flicks like Universal Soldier, The Terminator, Red Scorpion then this will be your bag.

Fantastic!

Revisado: 02-23-14

I couldn't recommend this book enough to anyone who's fond of classic Japanese movie monsters like Godzilla and Mothra!

Jeffrey Kafers smooth delivery draws you in, makes it real and doesn't let you off the hook until the last sentence has been read.

Jeremy Robinsons writing is exquisite. Cant wait to grab the next in the series!

Pleasantly Surprised

Revisado: 01-30-14

If you could sum up The Prince of Luster and Decay in three words, what would they be?

Soldiers, Demons, War

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Prince of Luster and Decay?

The build up to the final scene was tense. The narrator did a fine job of keeping the atmosphere as the author would have intended. Vocally, Nigel Patterson sounds very like Sir Tony Robinson, which is no bad thing!

Which scene was your favorite?

I really enjoyed the final standoff between the sergeants character and The Prince

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, as a novella it was easily listened to on my morning commute

Any additional comments?

I shall be looking for the rest of the series!
