It's a fantasy "coming of age" and "working through a traumatic past" style story. Not bad, but a bit awkward at times. Excellent narration.

It was definitely entertaining. Not sure of the target age range (likely 14-20?), but I enjoyed it at 35. This book seems to contain no cuss words, just slang mathematical terms. Only downside in my opinion was the lack of any real physics or supportable science behind their futuristic themes. Just the magical "gravitons" and the science of "it just works". Still, if you can accept this, it's a fun read/listen.

Andy Serkis did an excellent job with his narration, especially concerning his version of Gollum and all of the songs sung through the books. Granted, I still prefer the version narrated by Rob Inglis because it feels more light hearted and is also an excellent narration, but I would recommend this to anyone interested in lord of the rings, fantasy, or even history buffs that may want something less serious for a change.

Thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. my only complaint is the occasional extremely deep voice used for the Baron Harkonnen. It threw me off a little. If they used that same deep voice for him every time I would have enjoyed it more, I think.

It's a novella. Expect it to be short. Still, a good story focused on our warriorborn friend.

I'm not the absolute biggest fan of the voices he uses for some of the wizards (like Ridcully), but to each their own. It was still an excellent performance. Will listen to it again.

In my opinion, the writer used his own experience very well in this book. The cadence of this story surrounding "Alex Supertramp" seemed to follow the author's climb of the devil's thumb rather well. (It's been a while since I've been backpacking, and this is definitely giving me the itch, though they can keep their thrill-seeking for themselves. I'm happy just hiking my equipment 20 miles into a national park, hiking some more nearby, enjoying the food I bring, and leaving with everything I brought.) In the end, whether Chris McCandless was foolhardy or just unlucky in his final experience, I can't quite say based on this story alone. I do recommend this read.

Loved the listen by Jim Butcher himself, but James Marsters does it better. Sorry Jim. Bonus: there were some out takes at the end. Thoroughly enjoyed them. lol

Good book and decent performance. Mr. Bernstein seems to have (or use) a young voice, and oftentimes, it was a bit hard to get through. Written for a younger audience, I would recommend this for 6-8th grade listening.

All of it was great other than the woman, when reading the old sailor's bits. Between the accent and sentence structure it seemed confusing and grated on me. There isn't too terribly much of it and it's all relatively early on so it makes little impact on the story and narration. Overall very well done and I would listen to this version again next time I'm in the mood for Dracula.
