Great Podcast, But Know What You’re Getting Into
Reviewed: 08-11-24
This is an incredible improv podcast, but keep that in mind- IMPROV podcast. The humor is really good, but it might not work for everyone, given the medium. I say, listen to the first 2 episodes, and if it doesn’t appeal to you, maybe skip this. If you like it, than give the full first season a listen, and that will kind of be what you can expect. I think this podcast is good for fans of Hitchhiker’s Guide, and fans of dark comedy in general. I heartily recomend this podcast!

They spice up every Tuesday! I can just listen to this podcast if I have free time, and it is just hilarious! I love this incredibly innovative idea, and they execute it so well that whether they’re forming zipper cults, proving orc-based stick and hoop racism wrong, or playing deadly tag games and dance offs, they always make it great to listen to!

There is no way to write a blurb for this final book without spoiling all of the others. Suffice it to say, mysteries resolve, dragons war, pigeons abound, and Julius must risk himself in ways he never dreamed possible as Bob's grand plan finally comes to fruition.

[SPOILER WARNING]
I really like this series, but I have a few problems with this book which are: the beginning is a little… weird. All I’m gonna say. But mainly: there is a huge anticlimax when Marci’s super-omega-all the magic in the world hammer banish just didn’t work, then they just decided to TALK IT OUT. But other then that I love this book and this series, and highly recommend it. Also, I can’t wait to read the DVZ series.

Oh my god oh my god oh my god
Reviewed: 08-20-21
I loved the first book book (I left a review on it to) and this has all of the same good stuff and gets rid of all the bad. It has very impressive world building and you can see the weight of the story. This is probably the best book I ever read. The magic is the best part and all the simulacrums, (did I spell that right?) Stamps, and ESPECIALLY the candy, and don’t get me started on the narration! The narrators ability to make a convincing voice for both genders and basically everyone in this story has convincing personality (including some of the villains which I like in a story) and a convincing voice. I could go on and on about how this book is the best I’ve ever seen, but I’ll stop boring you now. If your thinking of buying this, absolutely do, you won’t regret it.

Reviewed: 08-11-21
I’m sure we all came into this thinking it would be a cringe pile of memes. And I’m sure we were all surprised when it actually told a good story! [SPOILERS] I liked the plot twist were the impostor ended up being the captain, and the whole futuristic interpretation. Overall, great book, would recommend.

Pretty Good
Reviewed: 07-26-21
I love the Series Of Unfortunate Events. It's a very unique and interesting mystery, so i fully recommend the story. The main feuture of this version of the book is the performance. As always, Tim Curry is a fantastic voice actor, and most of the sound effects and atmosphere fit well with what is happening. However, you should know that none of the other books have multi-voice recordings.

this book is an interesting and funny way to learn something about the materials we overlook. The author uses experiences and humour to weave a sort of narrative surrounding these materials, and his passion for his field of science is obvious.

Great Book!
Reviewed: 11-28-20
This is the best kind of book. it appeals to all ages, and is extremly entertaining. The magic system is creative and original, the storytelling is superb, and the characters are multi-dimensional and relatable. in fact, the only problem I have with this book is that the voice of one character is a bit too nasal. Absoulutly get this book and the next in the series. You will not regret it.

Mediocre and gross
Reviewed: 05-13-20
This book should be reserved for younger children.
The audio format does this book no favors, as the print version contains pictures and diffrent fonts that add dimension to the story. The subject matter is gross, and the story is short and not worth much time or money/credits. Children of a certain age range (8-11) may enjoy it, but anyone above that age should give it a miss.
