A Lion Among Men

The Wicked Years, Volume 3

De: Gregory Maguire

Narrado por: John McDonough

Return to a darker Oz with Gregory Maguire. In A Lion Among Men, the third volume in Maguire’s acclaimed, New York Times bestselling series The Wicked Years, a fuller, more complex Cowardly Lion is brought to life and gets to tell his remarkable tale. It is a story of oppression and fear in a world gone mad with war fever—of Munchkins, Wizards, and Wicked Witches—and especially of a gentle soul and determined survivor who is truly A Lion Among Men.

Error with final mix

The mix and edits between chapters need work, but good overall. Everything else was stellar!

Complex and Worth Staying w/It!!

Make sure you can focus on the story…. If you miss anything, you will miss everything! Glad the narrator returned to do the third book… Loved this volume in the series!!!💜💜💜🦁

Ok, but this music…

This book is great, and the narrator is fantastic, but the spontaneous musical interludes are WILD! They’re jarring, and feel like they’re maybe inserted by mistake.

Great

I like this book and hope he writes more about OZ

great book

another great addition to the series. as a person who has loved any storey to do with OZ. I feel in love with this series because it gave a different perspective of the witch.

Philosophical and wordy but worth a listen.

Not as interesting as Wicked or even Son of a Witch. However, I did enjoy the philosophical pondering even when they caused the tempo of the story to lag.

intriguing

I love the voice changes it brings you in and you can picture the whole thing

A very BIG story...

It's funny, but for such simply told stories (in many ways) ...the depth of detail accumulates very quietly. The story is BIG and it is ushered forwards from a different characters perspective in each book in the series. It's not simply a re-visiting of the neighborhood of a previously told story... it's a forwarding of a much bigger story. And before I knew it, ...the story had acquired a LOT of very rich details along the way. It's Elpheba's story, and Leer's too, and Ozma's ...and the Cumberland Witch's, ...and... Yackel, and Brrrrr.... , and.... Nor, ...and ...Shell, ...and... (Note: since this is all "audible" ...I really don't know how to spell these names correctly <lol>).

Still worth the listen.

After coming off of an excellent story line it seemed that the author found it hard to find his way to the second part of the story. It is still interesting, although to me, not quite as engaging. Although that could have had something to do with switching readers. It is never a good idea to do this in a series, but most especially not to the author! They write a great story, but usually always are crappy readers. I am getting ready to start the 3rd book in the series and am hoping it will be better again, as it is back to the original reader.

Final book explains ties up alot

Much is slowly explained but not everything. There's music in between some chapters that is just bizarre. Glad original narrator from first book is back.
