    "Great story, bad narration."
    Would you try another book from Terry Brooks and/or Scott Brick?

    I love brooks novels, but I plan to stick with reading them if this narrator is my only choice.


    What didn’t you like about Scott Brick’s performance?

    Nothing


    Did The Elfstones of Shannara inspire you to do anything?

    Yes. To reread this series the old fashioned way.


    Any additional comments?

    I also enjoy classics and think Brick does a good job with those.

    "I couldn't take the narrator"

    When I read the book I really enjoyed it, however I could not take the narrator and had to stop listening to the book. He uses the exact same cadence for every sentence, excitement at the beginning and fading almost completely by the end. It actually becomes rather droning. Even though he changes inflection, it doesn't go with what is happening in the story. It'll put you right to sleep, if it doesn't annoy you too much first.

    "Great book, not great narration"

    I love this series. But I am really tired of this narrator, Scott Brick. These books read so easily when you read them in hardcopy. The characters are fun, and you get involved in the storyline. This guys narration is just grating. If you only listen to books on audio then go ahead and listen. Just have to ignore the narrators tone, silly cadence, and emphasis on every single line.

    I am a person that tries and get through 1 book a week if possible. I am Dyslexic so this is really the only way I can get through a book. I have listened to more book in a year than I read my first 20 years of my life. I found the joy of audio books in the early 2000 and have been a audible customer since 2000 or 2001. I have over 490 books in 2 different accounts and listened to 90%.

    "Scott Brick Delievered this book"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    I think it is a good book. But I do not feel that you need to read the previous book to know what is going on with the story.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Elfstones of Shannara?

    Where the Elve girl gave up her life to save the world and she gave up her love as well.


    Which character – as performed by Scott Brick – was your favorite?

    I love the Elves


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    nope. nothing that said OMG.

    "Tedious"
    What disappointed you about The Elfstones of Shannara?

    Author is too narrative. Many points of the story is repeated again and again....I kept thinking...get on with it! While description for visualization is important to any book, you can beat a good horse to death!
