Karen

By: Simon Carr

Narrated by: Skye Alley

For a millennia, they sat waiting, traveling through the dark, empty, cold vacuum of space, plotting our demise. Every continuity was planned in detail. They were ready to wipe out our armies, crush any resistance, and sweep aside any warriors. Mankind’s fate was sealed. It was only ever just a matter of time. What they had not planned for - what they are not ready for - is Karen! Any likeness between Karen and any real persons alive or dead is purely inevitable.

Fantastic!

This book was so much fun to read! I normally don’t have the attention span for anything except thrillers, but this book kept my attention the whole time! Great author and great characters!

Absurd Science Fiction Story

I was entertained by this story. The story featured an alien race that was planning on taking over the earth, but they had to deal with Karen first. The story was amusing and there were times I laughed out loud. There were times that the humor was so extreme that it could also be described as farcical. There was some foul language also. Skye Alley's narration was great, and her performance kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

5 stars

Well done. Well narrated. will be looking forward to the next from this author. I received this copy free in exchange for an honest review.

Good stoty

Karen is hilarious. This is a great story. My only problem with this is the narrator. This story would much better with a difference narrator. The narrator has just one voice, where other narrators use different voices for different characters. Even with this problem this is a good story and a great laugh.

An intergalactic showdown!

Prepare for an intergalactic showdown that will leave you breathless and begging for more! Simon Carr's writing catapults you into a cosmic battle of epic proportions, as humanity's survival hangs in the balance. Skye Alley's narration is a stellar performance, capturing the essence of each character with flair. Strap in and get ready for a wild ride through the universe with "Karen" – a must-read (or listen!) for fans of action-packed science fiction.

Hilarious!

This author definitely knows his Karens.
This book is less than 3 hours long, so it's kind of a longish short story.
Apparently, you don't need to listen to the first 3 books in the series to understand what's going on here in book 4. I didn't even know this book was part of a series until after I had listened to it. I guess there are like 12 books currently in this series.
I got this book for free with the expectation of an honest review.
Apart from the narrator speaking with a US accent and this book being based in the UK and outer space, it is really good. (I is quite annoying listening to this story with the American accent.) (And I'm a yank.)

Entertaining

Entertaining to say the least. I didn’t know where this story was going to go when I started listening to it. It was a combination of laughing and shaking my head in amusement through the whole thing. I would definitely listen again and recommend as a quick, fun listen if you’re not easily offended haha.

Karen for sure

Very good humor. She’s such a Karen that she Karen herself. It’s so Karen-ly good lol

Hilarious space adventure!

Karen by Simon Carr is a hysterically funny story of space invaders that come face to face with the dreaded Karen! The Earth’s best hope for survival is squarely on the shoulders of a layabout sponger who would rather confront a manager than do anything meaningful. The narration by Skye Alley is terrific, although I was expected a British narrator since that’s where the story is set. Nevertheless, it’s a great story and great narration.
