The Adventures of Hal

The Second Glothic Tale

De: Derek Haines

Narrado por: Persephone Rose

Meanwhile, on Gloth...

Millions of years before February the Fifth, Gloth was making a nice little profit from the planet Erde, with the help of some cunning popes and the very, very secret Camera Stellata, sometimes better known as the Star Chamber.

Being disowned by his father and booted out of his family manor in England and then transported off to the distant sun-drenched shores of Australia didn’t sound like such a bad punishment for Hal, all things considered. Sydney, however, didn’t prove to be his cup of tea, but a quick move to Brisbane leads Hal to a wonderful new life full of friends, backyards, barbecues, beer, surfing, The Breakfast Creek Hotel, and Narelle.

The idyllic life.

For a short time, unfortunately, as so often happens, just when you think things are beautifully perfect, someone or something comes along to throw a spanner in the works. In Hal’s case, his idyllic life gets hit by a number of airborne wrenches. Then, when he thinks things are about as bad as they can get, they of course get a whole lot worse.

Afflicted by an allergic reaction to dust and scary things, Hal does a lot of sneezing as he goes about trying to make the whole lot worse a whole lot better.

fun

a fun tale of a hapless man just trying to live his life, despite what life may have in store for him...

loved it

Great storyline, had some funny moments and also the narrator does a great job with different voices. Excellent book to listen to.

I want to listen to more.

I enjoyed the story but would not have called it "a laugh-a-minute" it was good, was amusing and I want to listen to more. I thought it was good narration and expressive.
It might have just not fit my sense of humor.

some well placed theories.

While it did take me a while to get into this read, it turned out to be a fairly decent one. It does contain many theories floating around out there that someone/something is pulling the strings in the world. It does a good job of getting you wrapped up in Hal's adventure through life and his way back home. This read can be a good reminder of just how curiosity can get you in over your head and just how much "digging" you may have to do to get out of situations that said curiosity put you in. It is a good read for those whole like Sci Fi and conspiracy theories. I would encourage some to give it a little time as with me it did take a while for it to hook me in.
