A great listen for any comic or marvel fan. There’s a rich and sorted history for such an iconic titan in the comic book world and it brings to light many unsung creators.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7,389
With his trademark mirth and boundless charisma, actor Nick Offerman brought the loveable shenanigans of Twain's adolescent hero to life in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Now, in yet another virtuosic performance, the actor proves that despite being separated by a span of over a century, his connection to the author and his work is undeniable and that theirs is a timeless collaboration that should not be missed.

Mark Twain and Nick Offerman are a perfect match

The most absurd story for the Everyman
Reviewed: 12-31-17
It’s a ridiculous story and makes no bones about it. The whole read is a silly fish out of water story played absolutely straight and to great effect. Nick Offerman should also be the only person allowed to read Twain’s work as his disposition and voice were made for it. Give this one a listen and strap in.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,709
Can you imagine writing to Father Christmas and actually getting a reply? Every year, the children of J.R.R. Tolkien would write to Father Christmas, and the letters they received told wonderful stories of his adventures at the North Pole. These humorous tales are brought to life by Derek Jacobi as Father Christmas, John Moffatt as Polar Bear, and Christian Rodska as Ilbereth the Elf, complete with specially composed music.

Ridiculously enchanting
Reviewed: 12-26-17
JRR can’t help himself from turning what could have just been a simple letter exchange about presents into an explosion of creative world building about the North Pole. I only wish there was more to know about his Father Christmas, the North Polar Bear and the goblin horde.
The cast reading captures the spirit perfectly. This is easily a new staple in my holiday listening.

Great voice work, less so recording
Reviewed: 06-07-17
The story and voice-work is wonderful. The only complaint is the fairly loud static present in the background the entire time. It was bearable through headphones but through a car speaker it was really hard to hear.

February 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a matter of days, despite predictions of a recovery, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. “My poor boy, he was too good for this earth,” the president says at the time. “God has called him home.”

"Where might God stand?"

A real journey
Reviewed: 05-17-17
Wonderful story and incredibly powerful imagery. The quick switch between voices is accompanied by differing sound quality which is hard to get used too at first. There are also chapters where multiple peoples accounts are strung together, which is an interesting idea on print, but the audiobook introduces each new account before it begins and makes the main story hard to follow at first. Offerman and Sedaris are amazingly captivating together as are the rest of the cast. Certainly comes together in the last 3hours
