Tigers and Devils

No, I am australian. Worse than that Melbournian. This story was about my home town and the narrator mispronounced...A lot!

This is a great story and better yet the places described are places in my memory. I no longer live in melbourne so this brought up real feelings of nostalgia and made me miss my home. I could see the characters walking down the same streets i had walked down. I could imaging meeting Simon at fed square for one of the many film festivals. I know who the douchebag footy show presenter is, referenced in the book. (looking at YOU sam neuman!) I can imagine Declan living in the docklands and it brought a feeling of realism that i rarely get to enjoy. I think i even know the general area that Simon worked. But the the narrator would say Bork st instead of Bourke st (pronounced burk) or Etihard instead of Etihad (pronounced eti-had) and it would draw me away from the story and bring me out of the fantasy. Oh and Melbourne, pretty much pronounced Melbin and BrisBAIN Brisb'n...grrr

the proformance wasn't BAD but it did detract from the story simply because of the accent. this was a really REALLY Australian story and it needed an Australian narrator. I will need to get a print copy and read it with my own accent to really get lost in the story/

I liked Simon. He had the POV and so we had better insight to his motivations and i liked him. Plus a bit of snark never went astray :)

Yes, but only if they can't get a hold of the book itself

Someone Australian!

Decently narrated, but it needed better editing and better casting, and the different voices the narrator used were wrong for the characters (especially the women). The setting of the book is so integral to the story, the narrator really should have been Australian.

A decent narration editor

It wasn't the authors fault this was terrible.

It isn't the narrators fault either.

The narration need serious editing. Every DreAmspinner Press book I have listened to in the last few months have been terrible. Clearing throats, repeating lines, drinking water. Why isn't this caught before going out? It had been in EVERY DSP book lately!
I won't buy anymore until I hear they are getting edited.
This is a shame because I hear good things about the authors.

Yes

Sure

With Dreamspinner press you have no choice.......

Googled the subject matter .

The story was cool but could have been told in 7 hours not 14.

I already downloaded and read Tigerland on my kindle. My issue with the audiobook had nothing to do with the story it was the editing and the fact that it is a book set in Australia about people from Australia and it is read by an American, who give one minor character a southern accent

I thought it was a good well written story

As above, plus the editing should have been better. Repeated lines, doesn't anyone listen to it through before it was released.

Chris Helmsworth for Declan
Not sure for Simon
