Mister Monday

The Keys to the Kingdom, Book 1

De: Garth Nix

Narrado por: Allan Corduner

On the first day, there was mystery.

Arthur Penhaligon is not supposed to be a hero. He is, in fact, supposed to die an early death. But then his life is saved by a key shaped like the minute hand of a clock.

Arthur is safe - but his world is not. Along with the key comes a plague brought by bizarre creatures from another realm. A stranger named Mister Monday, his avenging messengers with bloodstained wings, and an army of dog-faced Fetchers will stop at nothing to get the key back, even if it means destroying Arthur and everything around him.

Desperate, Arthur ventures into a mysterious house - a house that only he can see. It is in this house that Arthur must unravel the secrets of the key - and discover his true fate.

The first audiobook of a spellbinding series by Garth Nix, the author of The Seventh Tower, Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen.

great story. excellent reader. i could listen to it many times. this is a classic.

so creative and gripping

i read this because of how much i loved Sabriel. And although i didn't enjoy it nearly as much, i still thing it's fantastic. A great introduction to a world that is mesmerizing and original. i can't wait to read the next one!

Can’t wait for the movie

Great book and great performance by the reader. Hope Hollywood makes a faithful film adaptation someday.

great listen

loved it. awesome reader. the voice inflections and tones were too good. would recommend this book

Pronounciation

Um, I really don't think that's how you pronounce "turquoise." Just a minor nitpick really, the rest of the missing stars is basically because this is my least favorite volume of Keys to the Kingdom.

Captivating

The Keys to the Kingdom Series is truly captivating! I have listened to each installment multiple times. The books are wonderful and the narrator is absolutely perfect. His inflections really bring the characters to life. I highly recommend this book!
