So much more than just the two groups!

Books were enjoyable. So much going on in the whole series. However, I wish I would of realized you could of got all three books for one instead of paying for each individually. Look this up as The X-Men and the Avengers: Gamma Quest.

The story was fantastic

But the voice reader didn't really understand how to do other voices and that could make the story a little bit different.

Good story. Average narration. Poor research.

Good job bringing the two super teams together. Story is compelling enough to keep you going but is weak on action. Narrator is very limited on the range of voices he can perform. One thing that bothered me that might seem trivial to everyone else is the lack of research from the author. For example…At one point of the story when Bruce Banner is in Niagara Falls, New York, the author states that over 100,000 gallons of water go over the American and Horseshoe Falls combined every minute. The fact is that over 750,000 gallons of water go over the two falls combined every SECOND! That’s over 45 million gallons per minute! Would it have killed the author or the editor to Google this fact and check it out? If they can’t be bothered with a detail like that, what kind of care do they really put into their story? That kind of makes this book just feel like a money grab by putting the two super hero teams together and slap it in the cover. Come on, guys….do your homework!

Nothing.

Too wordy. Took too long to get to the point with no real payoff. This was lukewarm at most.

When did Batman become Marvel?

Story is what you would expect from the Marvel novels. Doesn’t strain the brain but enjoyable. My one negative is the narrator; Pete Cross. Listened to another novel narrated by him and did not have any problems. This novel has an antagonist and the Hulk sound like the overly throaty Christian Bale’s Batman. It takes me out of the story every time. As this is a trilogy story and I assume the antagonist will play a more active speaking role in the next two, I’m not as eager to subject myself to this accidental Marvel vs DC mashup.

Annoying

Nothing happened. A lot of reading without anything meaningful really happening throughout the story. I assume they are building on part 2
