Any additional comments?

The story was okay; there were some general flaws with the pacing and what not, but it was still a fine diversion. The author should not have tried to narrate it himself, however. Every character had the same voice, and there were many times when I couldn't tell if another character had started speaking or it was still the original one, nor could I tell when the hero was thinking to himself or speaking out loud. There was also a lack of gravity during the action scenes, it was just being read out of the book flat. I might consider reading the second book, but unless there's a new narrator I wouldn't get the audible version.

Was surprised it was good.

I was surprised this ended so well. It started weak, and I am impressed it got that much better.

Loved it

What did you love best about Meta?

Loved the story, kept me engaged through the whole story.

What did you like best about this story?

The story was fairly easy to follow, and not completely obvious as to what would happen next.

What does Tom Reynolds bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Well spoken and brought more of the writers expression on how the story was meant to be told.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, because it kept my interest throughout the whole story.

Any additional comments?

I'm a fan of the podcast The Complete Guide To Everything, and so I thought I'd give Tom's book a try and it was pretty good. Great job Tom :) hope you have a second one in progress.

Enjoyable Read

Fans of comics, Renegade X, Super Powereds, the Supervillains Saga, etc will like this. Much more interesting than Please Don't Tell My Parents. Thank you, Mr. Reynolds

A Mixed Bag

What would have made Meta better?

This book would have been much better if it had been performed by a professional narrator. It was a good story, but the author's nonstop monotone was a real buzzkill.

What other book might you compare Meta to and why?

I would compare this book to kid sensation.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

There was no change in tone, voice, or inflection throughout the story.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

disappointment.

Great read!

This is my first Tom Reynolds’s read. I’m extremely impressed with his talent. The story line was a tad bit cliche’, but aren’t ALL superhero stories?
Overall, it was great, but the narration should be done by a seasoned professional.

Story is great but listening to it is painful.

What did you like best about Meta? What did you like least?

The story is a great super hero coming of age story but the author reading his own work is like listening to a high school chemistry teacher give a lecture while running his finger nails down a chalk board.

How could the performance have been better?

Read by anyone who is trained to read audio books.
