Dark. Delicious narrative.

Revisado: 04-10-16

I found myself sucked into the sociopathic perspective, and unsure of who to root for. Brilliant story. brilliantly told and narrated. I found this, because I wanted to redownload the first book and listen again. Instead I was delighted to discover the sequel, and it is at least as good as the first.

Nearly Unbearable

Revisado: 09-05-15

I'm not sure if I can finish this audio production. I'm going to try, and if I do I'll be sure to update the review, provided it grows more positive.

This is partly my fault for preordering a book that had no preview option. If I could have listened, I'd have gone with the hardcover instead. There's a huge difference between an unabridged novel and a dramatized production. Unfortunately, that difference appears to be lost.

The audio production renders the story as something I struggle to listen to. While I have enjoyed numerous dramatic readings here on audible (example: anything with Wil Wheaton) I strongly prefer the text to speak for itself. Even though the music, sound effects. and so on are brilliantly mixed, they distract from the words of the book. I'm reminded of reading the Thrawn trilogy for the first time. I could hear the music playing in my head. Literally hearing it here has the opposite intended effrct.

I can tell Marc Thompson is a talented voice actor, his performance has to match that of the production, and it comes off as overly dramatic. bordering on campy.

I'm about an hour and a half in, and still don't have enough of a feel on the story or characters to comment. if I hadn't already paid for the audible version, I'd either grab the hardcover or kindle instead. Still might.

I want to like this so much. I've previewed a couple of other Star Wars audio books and they seem to have the same problem. Guess I won't be listening to any of them.

I laughed out loud several times. The characters were brought to life by the fantastic narration. Even the dead ones. I'll be doing several more A Lee Martinez books. Immediately.

Meh

Didn't care for the Journaling method of storytelling. It meant that the narrator was the only character the reader really got to know. Also, the story really didn't add much to the zombie genre. It was all pretty straightforward and cliche.

Best Audiobook Ever!

Revisado: 07-23-15

I mean it. This was the perfect blend of story, prose and Narration. I will probably buy the hardcopy soon, and plan to pick up Armada immediately. The nostalgia combined with the adventure absolutely rocked. and I never knew Wil Wheaton was this talented

Zuper. But...

The story is just as good as the others in this series. Angel's character continues to develop in unexpected ways.

The narrator usually does a good job, and all things considered that continues here. However, I'm convinced that somewhere in the production (around chp 10 or so ) she caught a cold. I might not have noticed, but stone portions of the audio were obviously recorded at different times, either before her cold or more likely after. The contrast is stark and draws me out of the story.

I'll still be sure to pick up book 4. This is a fun series read by a talented narrator.

Good for what it is

DWS is an inspiration. I just wish this had been more prepared for audio. The blog posts state that the best info is found in the answers to questions in the comments.

This is more what writing fast looks like in practice than it is instructional. Still glad I listened.
