Not quite there

Revisado: 09-11-21

This is ok at best. Not sure what it's trying to be. It's almost funny, the story is almost good, the characters are almost interesting, but it's not great at any of those things. I returned it.

Very Good Series

Revisado: 03-15-21

The entire Constable Evans series is very good. Good narration, good stories, good character development. Listen to the whole thing.

This book is... meh.

Revisado: 08-08-20

I finished it. The stories are ok, good potential, but it leaves you wanting. It's not really funny, no surprises, no suspense. It's fantasy/scifi without any compelling reason to listen to it. Other people like it so maybe I'm missing something but I won't go on in the series.

Just Weird

Revisado: 03-22-19

I love spy novels, but this is like listening to a bunch of bureaucrats explain a series of events in a congressional hearing. It's confusing and boring.

Seriously overrated

Revisado: 01-18-19

This is one of those books everyone says you've just got to read, a must have sci-fi classic. The first 1/4 of the book is pretty good and seems like it's setting up an interesting sci-fi thriller. Then it turns into religion mocking essays masquerading as a corny romance novel. The last 3/4 is pretty dull and disappointing. I'm a bit sorry to say I finished it, but you know how it is, a book this highly regarded has to get better. It didn't. You could get similar material by asking a few college stoners to write you a short story. Maybe his other books are better, I don't know, this was his first I listened to, but I'm unlikely to find out now.

Disappointing

Revisado: 04-18-14

Would you try another book from Douglas Adams and/or the narrators?

Yes

Any additional comments?

If you like Douglas Adams' writing, storytelling, and subtly, don't bother. I didn't want the abridged book, so I chose this. Little did I know dramatized meant it was like listening to a stage performance. I thought maybe it was a narrator with different voices playing the dialog. Wrong. The narration is gone, which is much of the enjoyable part. The sound effects, what I will call background noise, is distracting. This is almost, but not entirely unlike a complete waste of time.
