Outstanding

Revisado: 01-17-25

This is a wonderful retelling of a familiar American classic The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns and the narrator turned in an excellent performance. I think this could be read directly after reading Mark Twain's novel as poignant counterpoint. I highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the original.

Not an Honor Harrington novel

Revisado: 12-15-24

Honor only appears as a secondary character. The story revolves around past events, and while it's fun to spend time with old favorites I knew the vast majority of the plot beforehand. It seems to be, perhaps, a jumping off point for a series centered around a new character, who not for nothing is an engineer.
It's fun and I enjoyed Johnson's performance enormously as always.
According to the author's note this was the intention. Future installments will expand upon past events and characters.
I would have preferred a brand new story.

Michael is a lifted interviewer

Revisado: 07-21-24

I love Rosie from Smallville and his podcast is great. His guests are obviously comfortable and open to sharing their inner worlds.
One added bonus is learning what it's like to be an actor in Hollywood and the behind the scenes tales are often funny, insightful and above all entertaining.

Wonderful Production

Revisado: 02-28-24

This is very much like a radio play and I enjoyed it immensely. Full cast, sound effects and music. I highly recommend this production.

I give the narration a C+

Revisado: 09-17-23

It could've been worse I suppose. The narrator for Polgara is pretty dismal by comparison. I think over all he did an okay job but I think a story as epic as the Belgariad/Mallorean would be best served with a cast of voice actors.
I've been a fan of the Eddings' for decades and I think their work deserved better treatment.
I'd probably listen to this again.

Terrible Narrator

Revisado: 09-17-23

The person hired to read the story was a terrible choice or was given terrible direction or worse, no direction at all, not only does she mispronounce the races and countries she also occasionally picks a common word and mangles it.
I'm not sure if she was cheap, or no one cared about the performance but it's pretty depressing. At least I can still read the books, someone who can't is stuck with this loser.
I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling this way.

A Stupendous Narration to a Classic

Revisado: 05-16-23

I've read the books several times and seen the movies even more. I truly enjoyed Andy Serkis' performance and can't recommend him enough. He all ready displayed amazing talent playing Gollum in the movies, and you'll not be disappointed here. I'm so glad I picked up this version. On to book 2!

Amazing Story

Revisado: 04-27-23

The narrative is worth your time regardless of how you choose to hear it. John C Reilly is an enthusiastic narrator, displaying skill, and aplomb. I highly recommend both the story and his performance.
