Supersize Island

De: J.J. Walsh

Narrado por: Luke Daniels

Kill-crazy mercenaries, gargantuan monstrosities, and a "sixth sense" that may be a death wish in disguise. Augie Brunthouse's first day of work is not going well.

It all started with Chuck Vestiglio's exile and subsequent suicide on his private island, derisively dubbed "Supersize Island" by the press. Now the disgraced hamburger baron's unhinged son has vowed to silence the family's critics with a psychotic plot to grow beef better. Alas, his wildly illegal biotech experiments have gone wrong in a very BIG way. Somebody needs to look into it.

Enter Augie. He hasn't cared about anything since his erratic precognition failed to warn him about the cancer that killed his mother. So it's time for a fresh start - at Spiel Timmitel, Corp. Augie doesn't know what STC does, or why they've sent him a gazillion recruitment flyers. But they're offering a huge salary and training in the Caribbean. Unfortunately, that training will turn out to be a shipwreck on Supersize Island. Cue the giant squirrel, parrot, and possum.

Such a fun, well written story!

I loved this book! It was so well crafted, it kept me riveted all the way through! There were quite a few laugh out loud moments and the narration really brought the characters to life! I highly recommend the audio book, but I think I want to experience it again on paper. I hope JJ Walsh publishes a sequel because I would love to know what happens next!

GM-Oh my god!

What a trip this was! Fast paced, funny, and a little heartfelt. Going just by the premise, I’m glad I got to experience this with no other knowledge, and I’d advise others to do the same, The surprises on this island are utterly bonkers. The performance was also well done, a couple of the accents fell short, but not enough to take me out of the story. Really looking forward to the further adventures of Augie!

Funny little action romp

This was a really nice commute listen. Some unexpected twists and turns, good laughs, nothing too heavy.

Fun Ride

This book is absolutely absurd in the best possible way! The story is a fun ride. This is’t a book where you will learn a deep message. It’s a funny fun crazy ride. Luke Daniels does a fantastic job narrating.

it's ridiculous but fun

Have Fun! The story about as absurd and overstuffed as anything could be and that's the point. Be ready to laugh and enjoy the ride.

It's a cheeky survival horror...I laughed and enjoyed it

was definitely worth a credit, kept me entertained while driving around. looking forward to seeing where the characters go :)

Funny Island Adventure

I enjoyed it enough to read Book Two if it comes out! The way the characters talk is sometimes weird but it works out. Still enjoyed it. Supersized Island is definitely an fun adventure book! Worth the listen for sure, Shout-out to the random Facebook Ad that brought me here

more in play then you'd guess but so much fun. this story is sure to have you clean your plate and demand seconds.

Quirky characters galore

A lot of really colorful characters in this book. And despite the monster movie vibe, it takes the time to hit some emotional chords.
