Great book!

This is a great book! Very entertaining and definitely scary at times. However, the quality of this recording isn’t great. The voice actor/reader is OK. The quality is not so bad that I couldn’t still enjoy the story. This book deserves a better quality recording for sure though.

Great Book, Good Performance, Bad sound quality

I read this book over 2 decades ago. I loved it then and I really enjoyed the audio version. The performance was better than I expected but it sounded as if he was speaking in a tunnel at times. When I first noticed it I thought that it was some sort of sound effect. The sound is rather distracting and takes away from the experience. Audible should have this book taped again. They are truly doing it a disservice.

Great Story, Entertaining to Listen to.

Frank E. Peretti does a magnificent job at painting a picture of the goings on in the Spiritual Realm, all the while pulling the reader along with a robust plot line throughout this book. Jack Sondericker has a wide variety of variation in his voice to help capture the different characters.

This is a fictional book that takes a stab at describing spiritual realities. I believe the mr. Peretti holds to biblical truths as he pens this story. There were a few personal differences in theological perspective but by all means I would recommend this book.

Eye-opening and emotion stirring reality!

I loved it. Very eye open in to what's going on around me beyond what can be seen. Although, a little over-animated at times, I enjoyed the book thoroughly.
