"EXCELLENT!!"
This is great stuff. Exciting, funny, action. Really enjoyable.
.
Too many to choose from.
I've got two rules: leave humans alone, and don't get on my bad side.
Didn't think I would enjoy this so much, but yeah, Earl Harbinger has great personality.
"Another Great Monster Hunter Book with aTwist!"
Absolutely. This is a highly entertaining book though more predictable than the previous Monster Hunter books. It is just a fun ride by someone with a wild imagination about a world I'm glad I don't live in, or do I?
The Monster Hunter series stands by itself, but if you liked the Percy Jackson and the Olympians, you'll proabably love this series.
Oliver Wyman does a fantastic job with all the Monster Hunter books and this is no exception.
If this doesn't make you laugh sometime and cry others, you might want to check for a pulse. It great to see the mighty Earl Harbinger get a love interest though it was somewhat disappointing that he was the only one from MHI in this book. I missed Owen, Julie and the rest of the MHI gang.
Can't wait to start on Monster Hunter #4!
"Make this into a movie, I'll go"
I enjoyed the mix of action and intrigue. Mr. Correia does a nice job with plotting. Earl Harbinger is a compelling character and deserved his own book. I hope the author revisits Harbinger as a protagonist.
"Just great...again!"
I LOVED the different POV. This book was gripping, and showed some awesome history from 'Mr. Wolfs' past.
...really?
I would have to say the fight in the supermarket parking lot.
the whole book :P
Its a must read imho.
"Monster Hunter Harbinger Edition"
If you like the Monster Hunter series up to this point you will like this. It's not like the other two entries in that you follow Pitt around, but once you get over this (I'll admit I was a little disappointed at first) the story is fantastic. Lots of blood, gore, undead and werewolves...lots and lost of werewolves. Harbinger has been a good character so far, but his addition puts him over the top. I enjoyed his backstory and struggle dealing with being a werewolf. As always, the Narration is great.
"These books are way better than they should be"
Wow, that was maybe the best book of the series!
"But Mike," you ask, "The other books in the series were awesome! How could this one be better?"
Funny you should ask. One reason: Christopher Walken.**
**applicable only to the audiobook version, though if you're reading it you could imagine everything Nicolai says in Christopher Walken's voice.
In fact, read the rest of this review in Walken's voice and note how it awesome-ifies it.
Oliver Wyman does a fantastic job . . . with the voices. Crazy . . . when you think about it.
This book follows Earl Harbinger and leaves out the rest of the characters from the earlier books. Harbinger's character was definitely worthy of his own book and Wyman's voice for him works extremely well. Nicolai, who sounds like Walken is a bad guy, no wait, he was a good guy . . . wait, which was he? Exactly.
"More Fun with Monsters and Guns"
Earl F'n Harbinger
If you liked the previous Monster Hunter books, you'll enjoy the focus here on the backstory of MHI's werewolf boss, Earl Harbinger.
You know what Oliver Wyman's performance needs? More Cowbell.
Another outstanding ready by Wyman - he does a fantastic job with all the character voices. Though the character Nicolai sounded exactly like Christopher Walken!
"Was good, but the flashbacks were overdone."
Oliver Wyman's performance is top notch as always. He portrays most of the characters as if they had their own separate actors doing the voices, making each unique.
My biggest hangup was the overused flashbacks. Switching between up to six or so groups/time periods, if I remember right. Was off-putting and a little confusing at times.
The action was good and the backgrounds of the characters were consistent with the previous books. This book unlike the previous books did not focus on Pitt but on Harbinger instead, which I didn't mind too much. I loved Harbinger and his interactions with Heather. Overall good listen.
"Already on to the next one"
These are great
He does an excellent job on all characters. Oliver is really good!
The end
Can't wait to get through the next and last one that's on audible hopefully there are more and this series continues to be 4-5,stars.
"Off the original path... sort of...."
In the beginning I wasn't sure that I liked this book because it was focused mostly on just one of the characters from the other two books. I have grown fond of all of the hunters at MHI and missed them.
Nevertheless, I am glad I didn't stop listening, not that I could have, the story grabbed my interest pretty quickly.
