Zombie Jake

not for me

Revisado: 01-31-25

I didn't enjoy this at all really. I assumed that an Australian audience would like it more for it's heavy Australian historical connections but the story of the people as disjointed with things seemingly randomly happening. A random side story about an ex-husband that was completely unnecessary. Do not recommend.

Fine, the first was better

Revisado: 03-04-24

Like the first, the performance was great. The story was fine but not quiet as good as the first. The alternative history of the world was the most interesting part of the book.

Good story, Good performance, Hard to Process

Revisado: 02-13-24

At first, I was quite hesitant to take a chance on this book for no other reason than books on this topic tend to weigh heavy on my mind. This particular book turned out to be entertaining and worth the concerns and fears it plays on in my own mind. Some of the other reviews criticized it for the clear right-leaning position it takes and especially for the few minor conservative political statements but personally, I felt that that position was no more "shoved down the reader's throat" than any of the books I've also enjoyed with left-leaning positions.

I REALLY wanted to finish but just couldn't

Revisado: 02-13-24

The content within the book was of huge interest to me but the technical legal nature of said content requires a better narrator otherwise it becomes the world's most boring and sleep-inducing legal lecture which is what happened. My wife checked out of listening but my desire to get the information pushed me on for a few more chapters but eventually even I moved on.

Life Long Fan

Revisado: 02-13-24

I first read this book in high school and found out how wrong most pop culture is when portraying this book and its characters but where so many might find that frustrating I felt it helped me see the versatility of the characters as originally written and the nuance that Shelly wrote with. Highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone if for no other reason to contribute to being a well-rounded person.

Corner stone of a good collection

Revisado: 02-13-24

Fantastic classic story that everyone thinks they know but in fact doesn't because of portrayals in pop culture. Great study in duality and human nature. This book is also a classic example of the storytelling technique of using a 3rd party looking in rather than being a first-person from within the events directly.

LOVED this title

Revisado: 02-13-24

While the story is short it packs a punch and I loved every second of the story and was thrilled with the performance. Plan on keeping this forever and listening to it over and over. I highly recommend for those who enjoy classic stories. and classic horror.

Clever and refreshing modern take on Lovecraft

Revisado: 02-13-24

li was unsure going into this blind but very happy with the book. The author had a great way of capturing the spirit of HPL while creating new characters. The author clearly leans politically left, and while it wasn't to a offensive level it was more than obvious throughout the story which felt a little redundant. Would reccomend and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Good Story, not my great narration, will continue

Revisado: 08-22-23

not sure if the author narrated it for budget reasons or what but it wasn't great. The story was fun and after pushing through the adjustment period I found I was very interested in what was next. It was also great to trod down some paths that didn't feel quite so beaten down with so many stories relying on familiar lore and legends. I will continue to listen to more with the hope that Josh finds some rhythm with his narration in future installments.

Would recommend.

Very well researched

Revisado: 01-24-23

I'm a fan if Sherlock and clearly this author is much more so. The hooks into the original lore are well-placed and secure. The stage and case is interesting tough I do feel that there was a LOT going on which made sections difficult to follow if your listening sessions are not consistent.

Overall, would listen to again and would recommend
