"Very thorough despite the length."
I received a free copy of this audio book in exchange for an unbiased review. I didn't expect much from this title since it's just over an hour long, but there was actually an incredibly large amount of useful information here. I recommend taking notes while you listen, otherwise you may have to listen more than once. There were lots of references to outside sources that provide additional in-depth information as well. The author was obviously very knowledgeable about the topic and the narrator did a very good job as well. Highly recommended.
"Just okay."
I received a free copy of this audio book in exchange for an unbiased review. If I had to guess, I'd say this started out as a blog post and then the author decided to pad the word count in order to turn it into this (very short) book. There's a few decent, basic tips on how to be more comfortable and less awkward in small talk conversation, but nothing comprehensive or world-changing. The same information could have been communicated with half in probably half the amount of words. It was a quick and easy listen though and the narrator did a fine job.
"Looking forward to the next one."
I received a free copy of this audio book in exchange for an unbiased review. Similar to the Caverns & Creatures series, this audiobook is for people familiar with Dungeons & Dragons who are looking for an entertaining and funny listen. The story was solid, as was the narration. I'm looking forward to the next one in the series.
"Highly recommended."
I received a free copy of this audio book in exchange for an unbiased review. The narrator has a great range of voices and does an excellent job bringing these classic stories to life. Highly recommended.
"Wonderful stories; great narration."
I received a free copy of this audio book in exchange for an unbiased review. These were excellent children's stories, though keep in mind that they were written in the early 1900's. You will hear some things that might offend modern sensibilities, such as the mention of the possibility of a "whipping" for bad behavior. Nothing too extreme for those of us who grew up with classic fairy tales and Looney Tunes, but modern parents may take issue. The narrator did a fantastic job- great range of voices and a very lively tone, perfect for the material.
"Just okay."
I received a free copy of this audio book in exchange for an unbiased review. The premise seemed interesting based on the description but the execution didn't really do anything for me. None of the characters were very likable and I found the end sort of disappointing. Overall it's kind of a depressing listen as well since the main character didn't have a happy life and there wasn't really a happy ending to the story for him. The narrator did an okay job as well but didn't blow me away.
"Bad pairing of story and narrator."
I received a free copy of this audio book in exchange for an unbiased review. I was never really able to get into it because of the choice of narrator. J. Scott Bennett is really quite good, however he has the voice of a much older man and the story is told from the first-person perspective of a man in his 20's. Put this together with the fact that the man lives in an RV and has a much more mature personality than the average 20 year old, and I just kept imagining a single retired man traveling around the country playing Ghost Hunters during his golden years. This is a problem because of the repeated references to how young he is throughout the story. It was just a bad pairing of story and narrator. Though I wouldn't hesitate to try another Daniel Humphreys story, or listen to one narrated by J. Scott Bennett, I won't be continuing this particular series.
