Great story, TERRIBLE Narrator

What did you like best about Comrades at Odds? What did you like least?

I love the story and the closure Drizzt gets with the Ellifain tragedy. It is a short story so what is not to like?

What was one of the most memorable moments of Comrades at Odds?

The Ending, I don't want to spoil it.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I like Ice-T as an artist but he should stick to what he is best at. Who pronounces the "W" is Sword? Ice-T does. Who leaves off the "H" in Human? Ice-T does. This story contains lots of time dealing with Khazid'hea so we hear the word sWord a lot. It is so funny to me that Ice-T would learn how pronounce the names of all characters and cities perfectly but then pronounce normal words so terribly. The other issue is you can detect his reading being spliced together. I am going to listen to my O.G. Original Gangster album and remember how cool Ice-T is.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

I would see any movie based on Drizzt

Any additional comments?

Despite my review, listen to this. It is a great story and it is free.

I liked it.

I wish it hadn't ended where it did but I suppose that's why it is a series.

Ice-T just set the bar

Now I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy a A book read to me as much as I enjoyed ice-T

The Deep Nerd Stuff

Ice-T brings a entirely new perspective to Drizzt.
Great story.
A thoroughly enjoyable listen.
Highly recommended.

Found myself really bored

I like Ice-T, but honestly I struggled to get through this. It felt less like a fantasy story and more like a lecture. Kept p putting me to sleep

Great story, great narration

I wasn’t sure if I’d like hearing a Drizzt story read by Ice T, but this was GREAT.

He has a great voice (as you might expect) and reads very clearly - no rewinding and going “what was that word?”.

And even though he was just reading one short story, he put in the time and effort to learn all the pronunciations and did them all correctly (something the substitute narrator for the “Transitions” Drizzt books couldn’t be bothered to do for three whole books!)

Very, very well done and a very enjoyable listen!

Listen to this BECAUSE Ice-T narrated it.

This was not a great story. Not quite the worst, but hardly a stand out in a collection of cutting room floor stories.

And then they got Ice-T narrate it. And it was AWESOME.

It's not a clinical Books for the Blind reading. It's Ice-T reads D&D, and it sounds like it. Ice-T brings something magical to Forgotten Realms. I've certainly never heard violence and combat narrated with such power.

The whole collection was worth it just to hear this piece of narration.

Ice T reading fantasy. Enough said.

Awesome story by Salvatore read by a rich and recognizable voice. Ice T. Awesome. Great story and great narration. Ever wonder what may come of the orc kingdom? Drizzt wonders too in this tale.

Story was good narrator not so much

Where does Comrades at Odds rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

lowest quality one I've heard.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Ice-T?

I liked this story but I found myself actually wishing it was over and I couldn't wait until the next book to start. It seemed like the narrator was actually kind of bored reading this, it was not like he really wanted to do this and something maybe he was being forced to do.

Will Wheaton did great. there was emotion, different voices, acting...

I love learning the finer details of the Legend of Drizzt story

I'm a big Ice-T fan but some of the scene transition were hard to notice which might of been the writing. some moments he read with intensity and a few were a bit monotone. overall I really enjoyed it and would listen again and to future Ice-T narrations.
