I could not get into the narrator’s performance

Revisado: 04-16-24

The story was good, but I just could not get used to the narrator’s performance. He did not have sufficient differentiation between characters, so in some cases I lost track of who was taking to whom. Some characters sounded so similar, I thought they were the same person. It was just difficult to listen to. But, I did enjoy the story, and the hallmarks of Brust’s excellent writing.

Amazing audio performance

Revisado: 02-06-24

I loved this book. The premise is admittedly a bit “out there”, and I can’t imagine that reading the text version would be as good as the audiobook. The audio production sells the premise in a way that I don’t think reading the story could. I will definitely be continuing on in this series… I’m hooked!

Slow start, strong finish

Revisado: 12-30-21

Slow start, and I found the main character’s voice a bit annoying, but it had a strong finish.

Loved this! Hard to put down!

Revisado: 12-04-21

This was quite a crazy ride! I loved the premise, and despite a few plot points that are a little too convenient, I loved where this went! The narrator is awesome. We’ll done.

Interesting and very detailed… maybe too detailed

Revisado: 07-25-21

I found it interesting, but mostly just for the immediate events of and following the event. This book went into more history of the region, political events, and way too many names for me to keep track of. I think it could have been about half as long, and been more interesting (to me, anyway).

While you're waiting for the next season on Amazon

Revisado: 08-06-18

If you discovered The Expanse from the TV series rather than the books (as I did), reading the books is a great way to tide you over until the next season! There's much more detail, and subtle differences between the TV series and the books, but well worth the time... and the narrator is awesome!

So much better than the first release

Revisado: 07-24-16

This version (read by Jason Hiner) is so much better than the original. Jason's delivery is natural and conversational, and accurate. Do not bother with the original Dan Patterson version.

Great content... Narrated by a robot

Revisado: 05-18-16

I hate to pile on, but the narrator ruins the audio version of this book. As many. Have said. The narrator. Has a very. Annoying cadence. When reading this book. That's really how the delivery sounds. Not only is the cadence halting, but he really does sound like he's trying to put on a radio announcer or movie trailer delivery. Read this book, but get the Kindle version.

Distracting audio performance

Revisado: 01-25-15

Any additional comments?

I found the narrator's performance somewhat distracting. I don't know if they needed to use a different mic, or maybe they needed a better filter, but I could hear every swallow, lip smack and breath. The delivery often had... awkward pauses.... which sometimes made me think he had stopped, but I think the narrator was just taking a drink of water.
