Sad that it ended

Revisado: 03-12-21

I was sad that it ended because I realized that was 3 hours of my life I would not get back. The plot of this is just so silly. I really tried to like this book but I just could not care any less about any of the characters. I hated the main character, and not because of what he does. I just hated him because he is an idiot. It feels like a goosebumps ripoff you would find at the dollar store.

Unnecessary

Revisado: 01-04-21

I am not sure why Ernest Cline felt like Ready Player One needed a sequel, but here we are. It felt pretty rushed for the first 2-3 hours, and nothing really happens until right around the 4 hour mark. After it picks up, there are some exciting parts. But even those parts are rushed through. There is a lot of build up to big battles, then they are over before you know it. Wil Wheaton did alright, but something was off with the voices. I can't really place my finger on it, but the characters sound different than the first novel. Maybe it is more of the writing style than the voice acting? Either way, it was disappointing. I will be returning it.

Perfect in every way

Revisado: 12-24-20

I would donate a kidney for Andy Serkis to narrate the LOTR trilogy. I cannot stand the Rob Inglis version as his characters always sound so chipper, no matter what is happening. Please audible, make this happen.

George Guidall isn't Frank Muller, and that's OK

Revisado: 01-27-20

My personal favorite of the series. Love the story, the town, the people, and the build up to the climax. Calla Bryn Sturgis is somewhere I would want to live, aside from the kidnappings every few years. Also introduces(re-introduces?) one of my favorite characters, Father Callahan. I absolutely loved his backstory. Addressing the narration, many people complain because they are comparing Frank Muller to George Guidall. I would agree that Frank Muller was the absolute best narrator that the Dark Tower series could have had. It would have been great to see him complete the narration for all the books in the series. However, George Guidall does a fine job with what he is given. At the beginning of the book it will be hard to like him from being used to Frank Muller. But I ended up loving his narration almost as much as Frank Muller by the end. I am glad George Guidall narrated the remaining books in Frank’s unexpected absence. I cannot see any other narrator doing as good of a job.

Great book that deserves better

Revisado: 09-19-19

The story is great. One of my favorite Heinlein books. But the narrator for this has no emotion at all. And the editing is extremely annoying. Every 5 minutes or so the narrators voice volume will change due to an editing issue. His voice gets quieter and sounds muffled when this happens.

Amazing

Revisado: 08-07-18

The history of Egypt is really an amazing subject. This is from someone who was only mildly interested in the subject prior to this book. I highly recommend this. I have read a few great courses books in the past but this is by far the best of them that I have listened to.

Confused? Maybe this will help explain a little

Revisado: 05-18-17

**Possible small spoiler for the beginning of the book.**

Fantastic start to a great series! If you are confused at the beginning, just remember this: It starts in the desert, with the gunslinger thinking about when he met a man named Brown, which involves him telling Brown a story of a town that he just passed through. It is basically a story inside of a story. There are more flashbacks later in the book, but the beginning two hours or so is what seems to confuse most people.

George Guidall is really not a bad narrator, but compared to Frank Muller in the next three, he is hard to adjust to.

We have so much to say, and we shall never say it

Revisado: 03-22-17

16 million dead, 21 million wounded. The war to end all wars from the eyes of a veteran.

A horribly amazing book brought to life by an amazing narrator. Everyone should read this book once in their life.

Maybe it is just me

Revisado: 11-04-16

I just didn't like the narrator that much... The characters always sound happy no matter what is going on. This really turned me off on the scenes where they are obviously supposed to be sad or angry. It is like, the fellowship goes to pleasantville.

Guidall is no Frank Muller....

Revisado: 08-02-15

George Guidall is good at narrating this book and the last 3, but after you listen to 2, 3, and 4, you will sorely miss Frank Muller's voice.

I think this book is one of the best in the series. It can be a little confusing at first because the way it is written, there is a lot of stories within stories. But if you just keep focused, it won't confuse you.

Keep going, they are all fantastic books.
