Tripping the Night Fantastic

By: Andrew Chapman

Narrated by: Alan R. Gron

Length: 4 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

Tripping the Night Fantastic is essentially a whodunit, but one that is far from the traditional. There is a murder, there is a sleuth, and there is a solution, but in tone and humour it is somewhere between House, M.D. and Trainspotting.

Charlie Deavon is a British author who meets a fan (the sexually troublesome Amelia Heart) in a pub. The following morning she is found dead.

The main suspect in the case is Simon, Charlie's agent. Having avoided the police, Charlie, Simon, and the local bartender try to solve the case together. The three men, what with the stress of it all, turn to a new drug called Merlin, which allows them to control and share hallucinations.

From then on, they trip and hallucinate their way through to the story's conclusion.

Charlie and co. like to drink. Only they don't so much go for a drink as go for a splash. They wallow in it like mad fish. It really is no way to go about solving crimes.

Unendingly Hilarious!

The book was great. I just couldn't stop laughing, chuckling and chortling at all the antics of Charlie, Keep and Simon. All the collective hallucinations, the telepathy, the "Keep, your fu/$ing with me, right?" was particularly good. The merlin even seemed to become permanent at some point. It was just all awesome. Alan R. Gron did an amazing job with all the characters and made everything even more entertaining.

Trippin'

First off the narration is fantastic. Alan R. Gronis is an amazing story teller and I enjoyed the voices he used for the different characters..

As far as the story goes, this book is a wild ride. It's quite funny and has a very unique story. The characters were enjoyable and I liked their interactions. I personally think this would make a good movie.

The Hangover+an acid trip

This is one of those books that kind of puts you at a loss for words. It was funny, and I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure I can really explain why. The best I can come up with is a comparison, to The Hangover, but that doesn't really do it justice. Imagine getting a story from someone on an acid trip about a previous night of drugs and partying, and that sort of gets you there. If you've ever been the DD at a party and enjoyed watching the drunks be drunks I think you'll enjoy this.

A Fun Trip

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Charlie Deavon is a mess of a human being - he drinks too much, does drugs and frequently does not really remember what happens during his escapades. However, he has written a successful book which is being made into a movie. Amelia, a woman he meets in a bar, is cast in the movie about his book and then is murdered. When Simon, Charlie's friend, is wrongfully accused of Amelia's murder, Charlie, Simon and their friend Keep ingest a drug called Merlin to help them investigate Amelia's murder. This is where the book really shines -- as a reader, sometimes you are unsure whether events have really occurred or are just hallucinations but either way it's entertaining.

The narrator, Alan R. Gron, had his tongue firmly implanted in his cheek and was spot on.

Oddly entertaining

This audible will take you on twists and turns throughout the story. all of which enterwine perfectly for a very unique story.

I enjoyed listening to the narrator as he takes you on a journey not soon to be forgotten.

I received this audible free at my request and am happy to leave my review.

Laugh your sox off with this farce!

Unlace the corset and laugh your sox off! While there are elements of a whodunit, that's just the vehicle for this farcical laugh riot guaranteed to get your mind off of the creditors. Absolutely hilarious! I loved it!
I also love the dry/tongue in cheek delivery of narrator Alan R Gron!

UNIQUELY ENTERTAINING

This was a wild entertaining ride, and one I won't soon forget. A refreshing "whodunit" wacky murder mystery with eccentric awesomeness - a very fun and funny audiobook!

Delightful story, very funny and clever, and the narration was great! Nicely done, very much enjoyed it, and I think anyone who listens will enjoy it as well :)

Definitely something different

This was a difficult audio book to review. It is well written and narrated but well deserving of it's title. In other words, it's a trip. I don't want to go into detail as it would ruin the experience for new listeners. So, I will leave you with this; If you want something different, you should consider checking this one out.
