Story
Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

Story
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Story
Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Story
Alice's journey begins as all good journeys do: hitting on the sales guy at REI. After a tumultuous breakup, a quick career transition, family upheaval, and a sobriety journey that didn't fix her life quite as much as she expected it to, Alice decides that the only way to solve all her problems is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. But as she begins preparing for the months-long quest, she realizes the answers she's seeking might not be on top of a snow-covered mountain. Especially since she just learned there was snow in California.

Entertaining and humorous
Warning: If you are looking for a serious read, this is not it.
Trigger warnings (tongue-in-cheek): Death of parent, massive onion and sunflower annihilation (don't worry, the sunflowers give as good as they get), good jokes, bad jokes. sarcasm/satire, bathroom humor, sexual innuendo, non-PC comments, woke-skewering, and lots and lots of foul language.
This is an engaging and entertaining story. At the core, it is ostensibly one man's (Prince Jasper) journey to protect and then win back his kingdom from invading forces. It's a very twisty journey filled with non-sequiturs, odd allies, witches, wizards, giants, dragons. scorpion gorillas, and more bad luck than one person can bear...and it's all delivered with a wry and dry wit. In spite of all the inanity, I could not help but cheer on Prince Jasper and wonder how it would all play out. Again, this is not a serious story, and it takes swipes at a number of political ideas, stereotypes, literary tropes, and scientific 'truths' (Is the Earth flat or round?) It's all good fun, and I found myself helplessly laughing at some truly terrible jokes. It was a fun ride, and the ending fit the story perfectly. I would read/listen to more from this author.
The narration is odd, almost mechanical and unemotional for most of the story. At first, I though it was an AI performance, and I had to check back to see that it was, in fact, a human narrator. I'm not sure, but I think perhaps it was meant to be that way. In the end, I think it actually suited the atmosphere of the story.

Funny as all get out - by Shana W
This book was funny as all get out. I frequently felt as if the author saw the world through the same eyes as I do. I really enjoyed a lot of his spoofy comments. There are some crazy situations and some crazy characters! Prince Jasper is learning to become a wizard so that he can protect his kingdom from the evil queen of another kingdom. He learns magic in one week and heads home after creating an army of giant sunflowers. 'Nuff said! If off-the-wall fantasy (for adults only, due to the sexual innuendos and swearing) is your thing, I recommend this book.
Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the narration by Jason Young overly much. It was quite stilted and lacked expression.

Funny Dragon Story
This is a hilarious medieval-era story. Prince Jasper sets out on a quest to save his kingdom. There are many hilarious scenes in this story, some that had me rolling. The names, the one-liners, the whole story was hilarious. I absolutely loved the author's style, and hope to read more from them. I enjoyed listening to this one, despite the narrator.
The only thing that was hard for me was the narrator. There wasn't much inflection and some sentences seemed to run together. I couldn't tell if it was a person or a computer reading to me at times.
I did receive this for free from the author in exchange for my review.

A fiery fantasy adventure bursting w/ excitement!
"Dragons and Stuff" by Simon Carr, narrated by Jason Young, is a fiery fantasy adventure bursting with excitement. Carr's writing dazzles, and Young's narration brings every character to life. Join Prince Jasper and his brave companions as they battle the wicked Queen – because who can resist a tale filled with dragons and daring escapades?

An Evil Queen Take Over
This story was about an evil queen trying to take over another's kingdom, which I considered a pretty typical theme in many fantasy stories; however, this was not a typical story. I thought there were many entertaining moments in this story. There were some unique monsters and uncharacteristic events that occurred. There was quite a bit of foul language utilized also. Jason Young's narration was questionable in that when the audiobook first started, I thought I was listening to an old-time robotic voice, but once the characters' dialogues began, his narration became better. The longer the audiobook played, the better he performed. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review which expressed my opinions.

Highly-Recommended and Worth the Read!
I love the character Nash. "You can't stop an invasion at the first hurdle!" I love the adventure and all of the action in this sci-fi tale. I love stories with armies and castles, and this is a great addition to my favorite stories. The red winged dragon and the scout on the grey stallion are more intriguing characters in this fantastic tale. I love the Queen and her angry eyebrows! I feel like I can see all of these innovative, creative chracters, in my mind's eye. I love this author and always love every new novel by Simon Carr! It is relaxing listening to and reading these wonderful narratives.
