About this listen

Cy has had his monster license taken away, and he has been reclassified as a Pirate, on account of him just being a normal guy with just one eye. The Pirates life is not for Cy so when an opportunity to get his license reinstated presents itself, Cy embarks on a quest, of some kind, with some people of some description, to get something or other.

I enjoyed this first book of the "One-Eyed Cy" series tremendously. Cy had his monster license taken away, so he set out on a quest to get it back. The story was funny; I laughed out loud. The humor was less vulgar than in some of this author's previous stories, although there were a couple of tiny slips, and therefore the whole story was more amusing to me. Lee Olson's narration was awesome. His performance was great, and his various voices, intonations, and inflections added that special something that made the story even more entertaining. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

I found this book of crazy adventures to be entertaining, funny, and full of colorful characters. The storyline and narration were phenomenal and on point with tones, accents, and pronunciation. One-Eyed Cy can unintentionally get himself into some pretty stinky situations that are just laugh out loud hilarious. I highly recommend this book if love adventure and winded God's. I received this book for free upon my request. I am so happy I did. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own volition.

Simon Carr wrote an amazing dark humor fantasy. Lee Olson did an amazing job on the narration. The story has it all adventure, dark humor, and action. The story is funny, interesting, entertaining, and enjoyable. When they say a pirate’s life for me, it doesn’t pertain to everybody. after the main character loses his monster hunting license, he is forced to be a pirate, but it isn’t for him. He then goes on a journey to reclaim what he lost. Will he do it or not? the story is well written. The characters are interesting and well developed. Can’t wait to read the next. I did get the book for free for a honest review.

Fun book with lots of humor. Really enjoyed the narrators distinctive voices throughout the book, made it easy to listen to while still being clear and added another level of entertainment.

Loved it!

Hilarious, wildly unreasonable, and a lovely story. Lee Olson did an excellent job bringing characters to life with his narration.

Funny and meaningful

Simon Carr's "One-Eyed Cy Gets Something to Do," narrated by Lee Olson, is a rollicking adventure with humor that leaps off the page and into your ears. With Carr's witty prose and Olson's engaging narration, Cy's journey from disgraced monster to reluctant pirate to questing hero is a delightfully absurd romp through a fantastical world. Get ready for laughs, surprises, and a one-eyed protagonist you won't soon forget!

An absurd romp through a fantastical world!

One-eyed Cy. You're the man! So funny. Such quirky characters. I especially related to the dwarf. Oops! No. The normal sized guy only shorter. I am only 5 ft tall myself.
Lee Olson's performance of this story is just the best! He gives all the characters their own personalities and voices. I can't imagine how much duller this book would be just reading it myself. Lee knows these characters inside and out. 5 stars +++ for him.

Politically correct.

This is my first experience with both Cy and this author, and I admit it won’t be my last.
Poor Cy, you would think a quest to get an antibiotic would be so simple, but fortunately for us listeners, it wasn’t. I giggled as Cy encountered nosy toads (I will fall asleep hearing the song “Who are They and Where are They Going” on repeat in my head.)
I learned a lot of things, like perhaps a pumpkin isn’t the best hostess gift to take to a party…or perhaps it is?
Some of the height jokes, size jokes and references to some things from World War Two and current events were a little over the top for me.
I adored the genie and was hoping to hear more about him, but perhaps on a future quest Cy will encounter the genie again.
It was nice to learn the difference between a Pixie and a Fairy.
I laughed at the pigeon ninja, “god of not choking on bacon rind”, the Scar/Mufasa reference, and so many other silly things.
At the end I was so thankful for time travel.

A quest for antibiotics that’s hilarious.
