That Awful Music

As stated by many other reviewers, the music makes this book unlistenable. The vocal work is great, I liked his voice and characterizations, but that music. At its best, it was distracting, and at its worst, infuriating. I listen to my books in my car and have the volume turned up to hear the quiet vocals, when, without notice, a guitar pick is screamingly dragged down the guitar strings. I finally quit, there's no reason I should be angry at a Stephen King story (unless he kills the dog or baby). The story wasn't intriguing enough to keep torturing myself, as I still had 13 hours to go. It's rare that I don't finish an audiobook, but this one gets that dishonor.

The voice of the reader didn't seem to match the voice of the author. Her voice was very calm, almost hypnotic, but then she would drop an F bomb or say something like "sex goddess" and it just didn't like up.

The writing is good and I'll probably read a hard copy of it.

I'm a HUGE King fan and this was easily the worst book I've read of his. As for the performance, well...he's a good writer. He does ok with middle-aged guys, but younger people or women are almost comical.

I had zero investment in the characters, it almost seemed as if this was a rough outline to present to your editor for a full-sized novel. This could have been better if it had been more developed.

I was enthralled with this book. Elwes and company made me laugh, got my teary-eyed, and completely entertained.

The story was interesting, but I was taken out of it by non-Star Wars things like references to hot chocolate, ice cream cones, sharks, etc. And, I swear if I hear the phrase "Ohchee of Bestoon" (sp?) one more time... The vocal performance was good, but you can tell this is a Disney scramble to try and fix the sequels.

The stories would be more for young people, if some of the plots, dialogue, and situations weren't pushing adult levels

The recording was harsh with "S" being extreme. You had to decide between turning up the volume to hear and having your ear blasted with hard consonants. Invest in a windscreen for your mic next time.

With over 1000 chapters, it would be nice to have Book names and Chapter numbers on the display. Other than that, I have no complaints.

I haven't read Jericho's other books, but now they're on my wishlist. He had me laughing out loud a couple of times and found most all of his stories interesting.

The narrator sounds good and has a nice array of voices. However, he mispronounced wrestlers' names, moves, and other cultural and geographical names. An editor (or Jericho himself) should've made corrections and rerecorded the errors as they happened in just about every chapter.

I'm a big Star Wars fan, and this story was ok. It wasn't until the end that I felt any tension.

I've read a lot of reviews praising the vocal talents of the reader, but I was underwhelmed. Many of the characters sounded like stereotypes of cartoon characters or bad impressions of celebrities. I appreciate how difficult it must be to have unique voices for the large number of characters, but there has to be a better solution. And don't get me started on the children's voices! Whiney and annoying.

I tried to listen to this, but it was just full of interviews with horrible people that sounded like they thought their opinion and way of doing things was all that mattered. No one accepted responsibility for anything and many pointed fingers at others. Not an interesting or enjoyable story of what could've been an intriguing story. I made it about a 1/3 through before I gave up.
