The stories and plot are on point, my only gripe is why they would choose a narrator with that weird Midwestern accent lol. Most unsexy voice I can imagine

you can absolutely tell that this narrator has a passion for this story and gave his all to its performance. I, however found him to be irritating. Nearly all of the characters have very deep and often comedic sounding voices and when he sings any of the many songs in this book, it seems like he's about to burst into tears at any moment. Another drawback, which isn't the narrators fault but likely the technology available at the time as I believe this is an older recording, is that you can often hear moist mouth noises and excessive inhaling.

Excellent suspense mixed with Sci-fi. Only drawback is all the "he said, she said, they said, said said said said". None of this is helped by Scott Brick who seems to ruin every book I've heard him narrate. He makes every character sound sinister and whispery. Sort of takes you out of it when the tone of voice clearly doesn't match what the author intended.

A previous reviewer warned of shallow characters and overdone action sequences, I should have listened. This is the novel version of a crappy summer disaster flick. started out strong and I like the premise, but it becomes comical how things keep going so fantastically wrong for the antagonists. the narrators were great but it becomes annoying how they keep switching back and forth, especially when the male narrator has to perform the female voice and vice versa. steer clear.

Clay has become so annoying. every other word is an obscenity which makes his rambling almost unintelligible. I'm all for a good well placed f*uck or c*nt. But I can barely tell what the hell he's trying to say half the time.

Really enjoyed this book! didn't hold as much suspense as the first novel, but on it's own it's pretty good. My only gripe is with the narrator. I had to speed up the audio to 1.25 just to make him sound like we was speaking at a normal human pace, and even then, he is very VERY nasal

The story was sort of like Law and Order, warcraft edition. It held my attention and was different than all the other Warcraft books. Tony only gripe was the deus ex machina conclusion, which in my opinion ruined an otherwise poignant and unexpected ending. That and the sloooooooowwww drawl of the narrator. I sped the playback speed up 25% and it still seemed off.
