Acerca de esta escucha
In this stunning, fantastical debut novel from a bold new voice in the best-selling traditions of Christopher Moore and Jasper Fforde, a ferryman for the dead finds his existence unraveling after making either the best decision or the biggest mistake of his immortal life.
Ferryman Charlie Dawson saves dead people - somebody has to convince them to move on to the afterlife, after all. Having never failed a single assignment, he's acquired a reputation for success that's as legendary as it is unwanted. It turns out that serving as a Ferryman is causing Charlie to slowly lose his mind. Deemed too valuable by the Ferryman Institute to be let go and too stubborn to just give up in his own right, Charlie's pretty much abandoned all hope of escaping his grim existence. Or he had, anyway, until he saved Alice Spiegel. To be fair, Charlie never planned on stopping Alice from taking her own life - that sort of thing is strictly forbidden by the institute - but he never planned on the president secretly giving him the choice to, either. Charlie's not quite sure what to make of it, but Alice is alive, and it's the first time he's felt right in more than 200 years.
When word of the incident reaches Inspector Javrouche, the Ferryman Institute's resident internal affairs liaison, Charlie finds he's in a world of trouble. But Charlie's not about to lose the only living, breathing person he's ever saved without a fight. He's ready to protect her from Javrouche and save Alice from herself, and he's willing to put the entire continued existence of mankind at risk to do it.
Written in the same vein as best-selling modern classics such as The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde and A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore, The Ferryman Institute is a thrilling supernatural adventure packed with wit and humor.

When Lionel Savage, a popular poet in Victorian London, learns from his butler that they're broke, he marries the beautiful Vivien Lancaster for her money, only to find that his muse has abandoned him. Distraught and contemplating suicide, Savage accidentally conjures the devil - the polite "Gentleman" of the title - who appears at one of the society parties Savage abhors. The two hit it off: The devil talks about his home, where he employs Dante as a gardener; Savage lends him a volume of Tennyson.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Timothy Walter Bolton - better known as Timmy - has spent most of his life as a necromancer. When he isn't terrorising his enemies, he's plotting inside his castle, which is built on top of lightless chasms filled with nameless horrors and beings of a generally malevolent and megalomaniacal nature. But after one of his latest creations, a zombie hydra-dragon-bear, tries to eat him, he decides that maybe it's time to find a new, less dangerous, career.

Historia
Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

Nephthys Kinwell is a taxi driver of sorts in Washington, DC, ferrying passengers in a 1967 Plymouth Belvedere with a ghost in the trunk. Endless rides and alcohol help her manage her grief over the death of her twin brother, Osiris, who was murdered and dumped in the Anacostia River. Unknown to Nephthys when the novel opens in 1977, her estranged great-nephew, 10-year-old Dash, is finding himself drawn to the banks of that very same river. It is there that Dash has charmed conversations with a mysterious figure he calls the "River Man".

Funny, very well-written
Reminders of Christopher Moore, though far less crude. I did not find it misogynistic at all- that is an unfair criticism. I look forward to his future works.

Narrator does not capture tone of the story
Would you try another book from Colin Gigl and/or Stephen Hoye?
I would read Colin Gigl. I would not listen to another book by the narrator.
What did you like best about this story?
The sarcasm and the dark humor was great. It was an interesting take and a fresh story.
How could the performance have been better?
The narrator sounded like a sports announcer. None of it sounded genuine and it really colored the story for me. For an edgy book dealing with an extremely serious and tragic topic with humor, the sports announcer just didn't do it for me.
Any additional comments?
Don't listen to this book. Buy hard copy and read it yourself.

Humor/Dark Comedy at its Best!
I loved this story. I loved everything about it, and Stephen Hoye was the perfect narrator for it.
I found myself re-listening to chapters over again just because it was THAT good.

Compassion and Humor dealing with death
Excellent Read. This book is about death and the role of one Ferryman who's job it is to convince the dead to move on to their next life. It is sad and dark but contains compassion and humor as the Ferryman tries to deal with his job and the bureaucracy of his organization. I listened to the audible version and found this to be a 4 star read.

Not sure why it didn't work for me
The idea is good, and the plot was good, yet I plodded through this book without enjoyment.
I know the narration was annoying at first. I am starting to think that narrators that use the snarky sing-song voice do that in lieu of an ability to do a variety of character voices. Even when the author had a character say a short sentence in a tense situation - followed immediately by a descriptive explanation that Each.Word.Had.Been.Said.Like.This - the narrator didn't do that and I had to go back in my mind to rephrase the sentence as the author described it.
But, maybe the story could have used more likeable main characters. And more descriptions that set the scene, then reminders woven in.
The book uses interesting ideas, but had room for improvement in delivery - both in better writing and performance.

Captivating
Great storyline, unexpected twists, original plot. Excellent job and pleasant voice by narrator. Overall, highly recommend for middle school age (depending on child) through adult.
