I expected more, the performance of the narration was good, however I thought the story was severely lacking in its depth and intrigue.

Disappointed

This is a wonderful adventure story. It flows so well, I couldn’t believe when it was over! The characters are well developed and likable. The narration is well done, creating a nice even flow to the story. If you like adventure stories, you will love this. A strong start to the series, I can’t wait to listen to the rest of them!

‘Wood’s Relic’ is a well thought out and designed story but I felt as if it didn’t really grab my attention. The story has some action but not a lot nor does it have overly impressive descriptions of the keys to transport the reader there. The characters are likable but I felt as if the listener doesn’t get enough background on to feel a connection with them. Finally I’m not sure the book really resolves anything. What’s up with the relic? Is there something amazing that’s going to be discovered? I felt as if it left too much unresolved. That being said I enjoyed the author’s writing style and while I don’t have a whole lot of nice things to say about the book, while I was in the middle of it I didn’t feel as I disliked the book, but rather I wanted to keep going. Maybe I just need to go somewhere warm!

Mr. McSorley does a great job with the narration, his characters are great.

I'm not sure how to rate this

Would you listen to another book narrated by Paul J McSorley?

Sure

Could you see Wood's Relic being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yeah, I could. It has lots of interesting characters that would make for a highly entertaining show.

This is a story of a man trying to go to a place where the pace of the world is not bearing down on him only to find that the world's issues turn up there also. He thinks he has a low key diving job in the Florida Keys but ends up having to solve mysteries instead. Very well written and great narration.

It was OK, but I feel that the author was not well served by his editors. Plot was pretty good, but the characters were poorly portrayed and the ending was not there. I observe that there are more books in the series, so I can only go with the strong hope that the editors got off their benched and actually worked for the author.
Paul McS did his best to give the characters depth and differentiation. His voice is clear, pleasant, and cadences well.
Thank you AudioBook Blast

This is the first book by Steven Becker that I have listened to and whist I enjoyed the storyline, there were a couple of aspects that let me down. Firstly, I didn't enjoy the narration. The reader didn't suck me in some do and I didn't feel the tension of the situations that confronted Travis and Woods.

I enjoyed the plot and basic storyline, although would have loved to have seen more depth in the development of Mac Travis and more of an outcome relating to the relic itself.

Having said that, I will definitely read another of Steven Becker's books and look forward to learning more about the characters and their development.

Solid read, a pity about the narration

This is a romp of a mystery, written with some of the same zany humor seen in such authors as Carl Hyacinth, and it is wonderful fun. The events make their own kind of sense, though logic has little to do with anything, and I found myself wondering if these sorts of things could only happen in the Florida Keys. The writing is straightforward, and even, sometimes, glib, which adds to the hilarity, and the characters are well, characters, indeed. However, even at their most absurd, these characters are believable, and always come across like real, if probably less than sane, people, some of whom were entirely likeable (even when not at their best), and some would have been villains in the grand style …if they weren’t so funny. How the narrator could read this book with a straight face is amazing, but he did and did an excellent job, too.

I might mention, in passing, that I never realized how interesting bridge repair can be, but the author has either done this job, or done some serious research. I give this fun read 4 stars, and 5 to the narrator, mostly for not laughing out loud.

Bridge Repair and chaos

I liked this book. It was an interesting blend of old school mystery, Indiana Jones-style adventure, some gangster action and many other elements that I won't list here so as not to spoil anything. The only thing that stuck me as odd was the immediate almost 'sleeper-agent' type of reaction. Still, that was interesting, too.

The narrator did a great job and I'd be interested in listening to the next book in this series.
