Fizzlesprocket: Everybody Loves Large Chests - Vol. 2

By: Neven Iliev

Narrated by: Jeff Hays

Length: 10 hrs and 22 mins

Publisher's Summary

Things are not well within the Lodrak Empire. An entire city goes up in smoke and ash, and an entire province is slowly being consumed by an ever-expanding cloud of death.

But while the humans rally to contain the fallout of this disaster, they are much quicker to pin the blame for it on their elven neighbors to the north. With centuries' worth of strife and bad blood between the two nations flaring up, all out war is rapidly becoming an inevitability.

Powerful figures are already on the move. Some wish to unravel the mystery behind the dead city in order to bring the perpetrators to justice. Others are more than content enough to use this "act of terrorism" as an excuse to further the Empire's agenda. A select few are even planning on somehow turning this cataclysm into a weapon for the sake of their ambitions. The elves of the Ishigar Republic are hard at work undermining and sabotaging their old enemy, while the international community watches the ongoing situation with a critical eye. Even the Gods themselves are closely monitoring the situation, ready to intervene should they deem it necessary.

However, though all these entities have different reasons and methods, they all have the same objective - to find the mastermind responsible for setting all this in motion.

The same "mastermind" that is far too busy figuring out how wagons work to notice the world is stirring.

Tasty!

“Uhhh... I’m not contractually obligated to answer that question”

Demonology Support Hotline is probably one of my favourite little tidbit in here.

Volume two of our murder hobo Boxxy is just as hilarious as this is not a book for the young it’s absolutely an adult read but a hilarious one.

Narrator does voices perfectly and honestly makes this series better for me

Can I inspect your box? It looks like a big one!

Neven Iliev and Jeff Hays. The Leopold and Loeb of the literary world. Between the two of them the body count of characters is just too high to realize, and yet so fun to listen to that you don't even comprehend the massacres and mutilations they are performing on unsuspecting characters. Putting these two together is like mixing fizzy lifting drink with pop rocks. The results are unexpected, and awe-inspiring.

Neven Iliev returns for round two of everybody's favorite murdering box. The man is twisted in a wonderful way, sort of like Willy Wonka meets Jack the Ripper. Viscious, brutal, and funny all at once. One of the best things is that he does a lot of unexpected things with his characters. Things you never see coming, and just when you think you have it all figured out, WHAM, you are blind-sided. One scene just took the air out of my lungs. That isn't supposed to happen in a comedy. And I really shouldn't LOVE and ADORE a murdering little cuss of a mimic, but I do. And what happens with the spy master just crushed me. Darn you, Iliev!!!!! On the other hand, there were times I could not stop laughing. My cognitive dissonance is overwhelming. I did get a little distracted with all the sex, but hey, this a book for adults, and the scenes were funny so I never let it bother me. All I know is that this man cannot write fast enough for me. Books 3 and 4 need completed last week, as of December 2001.

Again, we come to the ever amazing, all-powerful Jeff Hays. I'm beginning to suspect that he drank some sort of brew made from the blood of Rich Little, Johnathon Winters, Robin Williams, and Mel Blanc, which was stirred by a bone from Lon Chaney, Sr., and sprinkled with the ashes of Tara Strong. He has to be using black magic, because this guy can do more voices than there are people in Europe, he seems to narrate only the BEST books, and still remains cool when goofing off in Soundbooth Theater. Seriously, there is a reason that Jeff is my favorite narrator, and that is because he is a rare talent.

I got this book and powered through it. I had been waiting so long for book 2 to come out that I dedicated myself to gettng through it in one sitting. Now, I'll go back and relisten to both book one and two, and really relish the humor and action. Then, I'll sit quietly, just waiting for book three to come out.

Maybe NOT so quietly! Get it done, boys!!!!

Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. In fact, getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.

If this review helped, please press the YES below. Thank you immensely!!!

I thought it couldn't get funnier

Man was I wrong. This book had me rolling with laughter and feeling a bit awkward in certain situations that just had me laughing even more. The looks I received while maniacally laughing while grocery shopping only enlightened the happiness I gained from listening to this book. Ah man, I am going to have to listen to it again now.

Crude, Lewd, and so funny I couldn't stop laughing

This volume in the series had me laughing out loud through the entire story. Yes, parts were overly lewd/crude, but that's obvious if you read the first book or even read the tag line, so totally expected. What I didn't expect was to get so enthralled by the very interesting plot that also made me laugh so much!

This second book in the series furthers the main plot, has character development, a romantic (if very disturbing) subplot between side characters, and keeps doing all the things that we're great about the first book, and even adds even more awesome to boot!

And of course, Jeff Hays does yet another amazing narration.

Funny but beware

Content warning: This book contains depictions of sexual violence. Other than that, it's an excellent book. Silly fantasy at its finest. Jeff Hays is an excellent voice actor and Illiev manages to write a funny tale. It's not a deep book by any means, but something fun to kick back and relax with.

Weird turn

I found myself disliking the beginning of the book, then there was an abrupt story change in the middle. Seemed like the author also got bored with the beginning. Last half was better, but most likely won’t continue the series

This whole story could be summed up in one word: tasty. there isn't much more to say^_^

Absolutely amazing

This book is amazing. Absolutely hilarious. I sincerely hope never continues to produce and develop as an author. Give us more boxy!!!!

Funny as Hell

This book is not for everyone but if you can handle crude and blunt comedy I recommend this for you.

So funny I let out a little bit of wee...

another great book by a funny Iliev and excellent narration. Don't expect a serious story but do enjoy!

amazing !!!

I just love this book, cannot wait for the next one. funny with amazing characters !

Hilarious and unpredictable

If you want comedy, lewd, fantasy and a ready player one style attention to fantasy culture. Then this is your book.

The jokes

I cant count how man Times i starten to laugh.
Nice mix of Irony, pure innocense and luck.

Left wanting more

Following on exactly from the first book this was just as enjoyable. I need to know how the tale will end though. A brilliant listen and still loving the refreshingly different characters.

A true guilty pleasure

Picked this up on a whim and while some elements are weak, the overall story is very well done, detailed and interesting.

The narrator is fantastic and makes great efforts to make the book more interesting

Dirty, Geeky Hilarious!!

Dirty Geeky and oh so funny. The actual story is very original following the levelling and adventures of a DnD style Monster not a group of adventurers or plaladins. He eats them.
Very Tasty!!!

joyfull randomness

Pure joy, hilarity and randomness. I can't believe that a book about a box made me laugh so much. This is the first book in a long time that has made me actively want to find time just to sit and listen to it.

More Mimic Misadventures, Madness and Mayhem.

Great sequel. Some out of place 4th wall jokes. More character and their relationships focused.
