Critic reviews

“With comical insight into human nature and just enough substance to make it all matter, the plot offers up plenty of action, gadgetry, metafictional humor, grudgingly dispensed hints of the librarians’ endgame, and counterintuitive Smedry Talents to keep the old fans and new readers alike turning pages.”—Horn Book

As Funny As Before!!!!

I do like that there isn't much repeat of environment in this series, this one was finally based in the one of the 3 kingdoms and the way of life there is very interesting.

Brandon Sanderson shows how funny he can get in this series, and I do love those breaks between each chapter, they are really funny. and its ending is always funny.

You get to see how special and strong Alcatraz is in this book. and also what authority he has in these kingdoms.

Really enjoyed and laughed a lot.. beware food and drinks while listening to it.

Excited to listen to the next Alkatraz!

From my 8 year old son. .."It had lots of unexpected events. Try not to yell in surprise! I also really like the narrator."

Amazing and captivating. Will listen many times.

He is a master of thought provoking humor and story weaving. We listened as a family and loved it! The narrator was a perfect choice as well. The voices were excellent and convincing.

The Wacky Adventure Continues! Such Fun Series!

Being a shorter series (5-7hr books) wait until these go on sale. I'm glad I decided to give this series a shot when it hit the Audible $4-$5 sale. I have been listening to this series with my 17 year old son but I really think it's good for any age. I love the wacky humor and narrative biography style, it's a fun combo and very entertaining.

The narrator does a fantastic job and really made it even more fun to listen to.

SO AMAZING

This book is awsome. I love how sarcastic the characters are.Makes me laugh all the time. Make sure to read the after book special!

Great story of a horrible person.

Alcatraz is a deceitful, selfish and dishonest person, but this is a fun way to learn his autobiographical story.

Pretty awesome!

Why is this not a cartoon series?
This is great to listen to whether or not you have kids.

good addition to series

Any additional comments?

Another good addition to the series. Now that I have figured out the series I am enjoying it more. The humor and plot are sometimes more for younger readers, a little too silly or redundant, but to others that is probably a positive. Very clever. If you liked the first ones you will like this one. Overall I will definitely continue with the series, and am curious to see how he fulfills the opening statement in the first book.

Funny, action packed, and a real page turner

I loved this book(and the ones before it), my favorite part was the after book special, and the narrator's voice seems to fit the character of Alcatraz and his friends.
