it's missing alot

it was ok. having played and run the module, this book seem like if fell short. it was entertaining and I enjoyed the story. it just fell below my expectations.

Not great...at least the narrator was good

As a player who picked this game up in the 70s, I am familiar with this mod. It was never one of my favorite, and now the story proves that idea. It was simply a bit dry as a story. The writing was a bit cliche as it played out. Sort of like a bunch of old fantasy tales pieced into this one story to make the complete tale. There just wasn't anything that made me sink into the story. The saving grace came from Mr. Clark's voice work.

Great Story

This was a fantastic story that I would listen to again. The main character was very believable and went through several archs and grew through the entire story. The secondary character was likable and each had their own personality and story arch.

The story itself was great having played through it years ago. It reminded me of so many parts of our own adventure.

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys DnD.

What an adventure

I remember playing adventure pen and paper with my friends in high school, this and really takes you back, some things are like seeing an old friend and some mist have been parts we missed or we played through differently 😁. Great listen to anyone who played this epic campaign adventure.

Cheesy but Good

I ran a player through the Temple back in the 80s and DM’d a group a few years ago. Fu
n to listen to this story and hear the NPCs come to life and remember what was happening in various scenes when I went through it.

Great Tale

Book 3 was a great tale! Even though it didn’t have the same characters as one and two, it was a truly entertaining story. Highly recommended. 

Not Paul Kidd

Would you try another book from Thomas M. Reid and/or Bernard Setaro Clark?

I would not try another book from Thomas M. Reid. This books was really boring. The romance put into the storyline was really bad. Main character seemed weak.

Would you ever listen to anything by Thomas M. Reid again?

No.

Which character – as performed by Bernard Setaro Clark – was your favorite?

The thief was good.

Was The Temple of Elemental Evil worth the listening time?

NO. Skip book 3. It has nothing to do with the first two.

Any additional comments?

Skip this book and go straight to book 4. You will be happy you did.

Amazing classic.

couldn't put it down. audible version is awesome. loved the voices he does and he brings emotions out with greatness.

Really Entertaining Read

I had read this before and the audio was very good as well. I love these early modules conversions to books. Check out Paul Kidd's stuff as well.

Just couldn't get into the writing style

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Love this series, but quite a change from Paul Kidd's engaging storytelling. Just couldn't get into this writer's style of writing. A little too much detail where I didn't expect, and the converse elsewhere.

What was most disappointing about Thomas M. Reid’s story?

The action scenes read like a play-by-play rather than a flowing narrative.

What does Bernard Setaro Clark bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This guy is an incredible narrator.
