Garm not Hank

Written in the style of the author, but not like Hank. Gabrielle de Cuir makes a good Garm. This is not about Hank. The story of how Garm came to be. A good fast paced adventure.

I loved the “Magicians” series, but this book is written for children. It is full of magical adventure for children and I enjoyed it too. This is left open to a series. A good short story with more adventures to look forward to.

I read all the raving reviews so I went back & listened to it a 2nd time. I wanted more of “Johnathan Strange & Mr. Norrell” , but this is nothing like that. The world created in this book is not magical, but just boring. The narration was great. I wanted to like it after reading the reviews, but it just isn’t for me.

Ray Porter is my new favorite narrator. The 1st book of this series 14 is my favorite book. I have listened to 14 many times. I have been waiting for more of this story. Terminus was so disappointing it ruins the entire series for me. 14 was cutting edge science fiction. Terminus was over the top unbelievable and made no sense.

This was fun, zany and I loved it. I am not a gamer or much on social media, but I grew up reading comic books in the 1950s and 1960s. I only know of her from tv sci-fi & fantasy. Her narration made the experience. I don’t think I would have enjoyed reading the book. I would recommend this audiobook for a short light autobiography.

The narrator should be called a voice actor.

I don,t think I would have enjoyed this book if had been read by anyone else. Each of the female parts sounded like a different reader. The male voices Not so much. My favorite character was Lady Guendalin of Anorexia. This resembles The Dresden Files only a female version.

Finally more Repairman Jack on audible

I searched for more Repairman Jack, but there were only a few recorded. I even broke down and read the 1st book of the series. I see finally there are more audiobooks with a different narrator( I hope they keep the same narrator for the rest of the series). This 1st book explains the beginning of how young Jack became "Repairman Jack". Jack who lives off the grid and lives by his wits to become the man who repairs problems only he can fix using questionable and sometimes violent methods. I am looking foreward to the rest of the series.

I listened to some of this series years ago when it was read by the author. The new narrator is much better. I rated this book 4 stars because it was very good , but not great.

Return to Moonlight Bay without Christopher Snow

Story

Reviewed: 01-20-13

This was one of the better Odd Thomas books, but this story could have been the 3rd book of the Moonlight Bay series. The plot is centered around Fort Wyvern, one of Christopher Snow's old stomping grounds. This is not one of the typical Odd Thomas books where he is influenced by the dead. The relationship with Annamaria from the previous book "Odd Apocalypse" is also revealed. If you are a fan of the Odd Thomas or the Moonlight Bay series you will love this book.

Phil Gigante pulls it off

Performance

Story
2 out of 5 stars

Reviewed: 03-30-12

Would you try another book from the authors and/or Phil Gigante?

Yes, but not written like a tag team where the authors write where one left off. Phil Gigante somehow makes up for the storyline with a great performance.

Has The Exquisite Corpse Adventure turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

Have you listened to any of Phil Gigante’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. He does agreat job making a bad story sound good, but with a good story he makes it great.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No, never.

Any additional comments?

The authors made a game out of putting the next writer into a stupid storyline.
