A Cute Pirate Spin With a Talented Reader

I enjoyed this audiobook. It was fun and had it's share of cuteness. It was different which I liked as well. While it was a short story, I think the author could perhaps write more into this story with the characters. They were fun and I loved the parrot. I would definitely like to hear more from Gary Alan Ruse as I think he's an especially good author.

Nicholas Patrella did a terrific job narrating this audiobook. He's amazing with his voice inflections. I was able to distinguish who was speaking the whole time because of his awesome vocal skills. Impressive.

Overall, I think it comes down to whether you like pirate stories or pirate lore. This story is a work of fiction though. Great job.

Bland pirate tale

Any additional comments?

I tried to enjoy this time travel meets pirating tale but I just couldn't. The characters had no depth and the story was lackluster. The setting feels like the 5th part of a long mediocre series where the author has gotten lazy and we're already supposed to know the premise and already care about the main character.

The only thing that made it bearable was the narration. The narrator was energetic and the voices were fun. Shame that the story itself was something to be endured.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Not worth the time.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

People stuck at some place with nothing better to do.

What was most disappointing about Gary Alan Ruse’s story?

The story lacks any substance whatsoever. It looks like bunch of stuff is just thrown together to create "humor". The characters are shallow and lack depth. The dialogues are bad. The "humor" is bland. I would recommend skipping this book.

What didn’t you like about Nicholas Patrella’s performance?

In order to sound different and "pirate-y", the narrator created voices that end up being annoying. The high pitched and grainy voices were getting onto my nerves.

Entertaining

I received this book from Audiobook Blast (dot) com for my honest review.

I listened to this book this morning getting ready for work. It was entertaining. I found myself laughing out loud in various parts of the story. I believe the concept of the story was interesting and not one I have really listened to or read before. I like the idea of Agents going back in time to prevent the Rogue Agent Roger Turnbuckle from altering the future by providing pirates with automatic weapons of the future. My favorite character was Gus McAbee as the parrot.

Nicholas Patrella as the narrator was very entertaining. I believe he is what made this story vibrant and alive. I really enjoyed his voice and narration style.

Thank you for the opportunity to listen!

ok
