Good Funny Story

What did you love best about Children of the Pomme?

Ceaser, anything to do with that guy was funny.

What other book might you compare Children of the Pomme to and why?

Honestly I don't have any other books to compare this one to

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narrator just sucked plain and simple. She did nothing to help the story along.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Oh so I'm terrible at these I don't have a single clue what a good tag line would be. Audible your question selection sucks.

Any additional comments?

Good funny story worth the read, or well you know what I mean. Narrator well she just plain and simply sucked at this no emotion or feeling. There is always something new coming up that makes you want to keep listening.

Great Story, but performance could be better

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. The story is original, and although the narration starts out rough it gets much better.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Caeser. He was absolutely hilarious.

What three words best describe Justine Vannucci’s voice?

Bright, expressive, at some moments grating

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed throughout most of the book, but there was a part that made me bawl like a little girl.

Any additional comments?

I don't have anything to compare this to because it's that unique. There's a bit of obscure mythology mixed in with a solid story base. It's not high brow, but not everything has to be. It's fun. I wouldn't recommend this for children, though.

LJ Smith meets Jim Butcher meets RL Stine

Fun and adventure of your old RL Stine books mixes with the sarcasm and laid back style of Jim Butcher and the drama and feelings of L. J. Smith's Vampire Diaries.

when I began this audio book, I didn't much care for it to be honest, but I was so intrigued by this secret world I continued on. about halfway through, I began to crave the next scene of the book! Great job Mr. Fisher for such a fast and adventurous pace!

pros: fun, interesting world building, nonstop action, and many parallels to every young boys day dreams. it also had that youthful and laid back tone, without feeling silly or condescending. best part? You can definitely see yourself as the main character and get lost in the fantasy.

cons: the frequent switch between first and third person can be jarring and confusing until you get used to it, and mild not really a spoiler but just to be safe SPOILER AHEAD!!!!






mild spoiler that isn't really a spoiler is follows:
Emily is every single annoying thing about the manic pixie dream girl all rolled up in a big ball of "OmG sO rAnDoM and EDGY" which really turned me off of her character initially. thankfully, she mellows out to become a well rounded and lovable part of the story.



all in all, it was an enjoyable read with some fun moments and even if you're not so interested in the beginning, give it a chance.

Too fast

Story feels too fast passed and not enough character is developed. Some more explanation to the story is needed.
