Had a James Whale of a Time!

Reviewed: 09-05-22

Great book. I finished it very quickly. It was more humorous than expected which was nice. There are some dated social ideas in it sadly, but that is to be expected, and they are not great in number. The performance was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend this version.

Very relatable

Reviewed: 07-28-21

This is the true account of the authors grief written by his own hand. It's not the type of thing I normally listen to but I love it. I have the ebook, audiobook, and even a physical copy. I have absorbed them multiple times. There is a pretty good breakdown of this in "The Funeral Papers" ebook. It is very Christian but not in an off-putting way. The narrator was also incredible and seemed very professional. Great buy.

Slow start but worth the wait

Reviewed: 07-28-21

My favorite Dinosaur novel series starts here. The start is very slow but it develops the characters well. The dinosaur is a fictional species that seems generic at first but turns out to be pretty unique. It even has a pretty happy ending. The narrator is fantastic as well. He sounds just like I'd imagine some of the characters do. My complaints are pretty minor all things considered. The author chimed in on a YouTube review I did for the book and assured me she had never seen the film "Crater Lake Monster" which the basic plot of this book heavily resembles. That's pretty easy to believe when you fully compare the two. Very fun book.

Best Kaiju Novel Series

Reviewed: 07-28-21

Robinson delivers as always. The Project Nemesis series is a kaiju classic for a reason. Our protagonist seems like a lazy jerk at first but he really shapes up. Our kaiju is actually pretty unique for the genre. I was very pleased. Fantastic book with good narration to boot. Will listen again, likely several times. Island 731 does not need to be read before this book, but it does need to be read before the next book, Project Maigo. I recommend all three.

Best Daikaiju Novel Series

Reviewed: 07-28-21

Great sequel. It follows the classic Kaiju series formula: first book is monster vs man, second book is monster vs monster vs man. Is that cliché? Yes, but he brings his unique touch to the story. The monsters are very cool and the story is engaging. You really feel for these characters, including the monster, Nemesis. Just remember to read Island 731 before this book. It is necessary and many forget to give it a read. Narrator did a great job. I love Robinson and hope he writes books forever.

Very Enjoyable

Very fun scifi book. It's not wholly original but if it's written well who cares right? One of my favorite writers and one of my favorite series of books, just make sure you listen to this BEFORE Project Maigo. Some reveals were predictable but not all. The book is well written with good characters and cool monsters. What more could one ask for? The narrator nailed it as well. Very enjoyable.

What a sequel should be

Reviewed: 07-28-21

This book jumps right into the dinosaurs and action. It doesn't assume the reader/listener forgot the entire last book like many sequels do. It upgrades the dinosaur threat and makes it different enough from the first. I also love the author's take on dinosaurs. It is quite unique. The narrator does a great job. He sounds like I would imagine the main character sounds like. Only things I can think to complain about: the dialogue can feel forced sometimes and younger characters often use the vocabulary of older people because the writer herself is older. Honestly though, those complaints are easy to dismiss. The cancer sub plot seems to wrap up a little too easily and should have carried over to the next book,, bit I've read the third book and now that complaint is less valid.I love this series. Give it a shot!

Very Informative

These are the films/shows nobody talks about. I love both books in this "series". They really touch on the parts of Lugosi's career that no one talks about. This book covers his late career where he mostly performed in forgettable low budget Productions, but I've never seen a forgettable Lugosi performance myself to date. The book is highly detailed, well written, and the narrator is top tier. He actually sounds like a character that would be in a Lugosi film. Fantastic work.

Very Detailed

Reviewed: 07-28-21

I was very happy with this purchase. Most material about Karloff I have absorbed only talks about his career, and this book focused on that as well, but there were many details about his personal life. It even touches on his childhood which I have never heard anyone speak on before. This book does him justice. Great narration makes it a classic among horror film history books.

Fun Audio Drama.

Reviewed: 07-28-21

I listened to this over the course of a few days and think pretty highly of it. This adaptation is fun, faithful, and "free". I enjoyed the acting. The book is a classic for a reason and it's charm was brought to this drama. Great work.
