Mark's Magic

Fat Man's Gift, Book 1

De: Jerry Boyd

Narrado por: Chris Ciulla

Mark was happy enough, working as a mechanic.

He didn't know that he was more than that until his mother gave him some keepsakes from his grandfather. Those opened his eyes to a whole world that he hadn't realized he had a place in. Watch him learn to use his new skills.

Chris and Jerry do it again.

I've read all of Jerry's Bob and Nikki series, and buy Chris' readings of them as soon as they come out. I truly liked this new venture of their's. I have the KU version of Dr Mark, but I'mma gonna wait until Chris does the audiobook.

A cracking origin story setting out the world the stories live in. And also the people we will learn about who inhabit it

The authors loyalty to his audible reader of his wonderful Bob and Nicki series where the reader’s Missouri hillbilly voice is a good fit. But to me it would have been a better fit if some of his other voices were used for the protagonists. I look forward to learning about the magic system that came into Mark’s world when the A bombs that ended WW2 were dropped on Japan. All in all a very good listen and I will be buying the next installment just as I buy every recording of the Bob and Niki as soon as it is released.

the fantasy

it's a good listen. now you have my interest. I have some of Jerry Boyd's books. NEXT?

Story premise is fine

The dialogue which is most of the book is stunted, cringy…. I don’t know the correct words to describe it. When I. Read the book it flowed alot better in my mind. I don’t want to say it is the narrator for sure but I can’t listen to it straight through. I have to take breaks. I listen to all my books at 1.2 - 1.3 without exception voice cadence sounds more natural to me at that speed

more please!

great book just as good as Bob and Niki. I can't wait for the next book of the series.

Another outstanding start to a series

This was much different than what I was expecting and is an awesome story and series. I just hope having 2 series narrated by Chis isn’t going to slow things down. It’s hard enough to wait for Bobs Saucer stories and now there’s double the books.

awesome new series

Jerry and Chris did it again. Bob and nikki has been my favorite series for years, and this series is just as good .can't wait for the next one . I hope that he keeps writing both of these series forever.they are my happy place .

Excellent Start to a New Series!!

I so love this Author's writing and sense of humor. I have been following the series Bob & Nikki and have trouble waiting for the ext one to come out on Audible. This Narrator does both these series and is one Heck of an Great Narrator, he does the various characters voices and the entire storyline so very well!!

Enjoyed the first book

Mark learns he is a powerful new magician. The ups and downs are humorous. As with his other series I expect this one to grow and be just as special. I love Chris Cuila as narrator, his characters are different and easily picked out. Now when does the next book arrive??

Some holes, but a really easy listen

I enjoyed the narrator... the tonal drop for "he said" "she said" was new to me and absolutely perfect. I had to re-listen in spots because of the accent, but it was a nice, cozy drawl.

The story seemed to have some holes -- like when did the two youngsters get so cozy? -- but after I realized it wasn't "me", I ignored it and continued on. This will be a good book to listen while I'm drifting off to sleep.

If you wanted to nitpick you could, but I enjoyed the story. YMMV.
