I Was Entertained

I chose this title as part of the Audible Original program. I debated getting it as I’m not a child. Okay, some who know me might argue that so, I’m way above the age of being considered a child. I was kept entertained the entire time. I can’t wait to share this with my grandchildren. I know they are going to love it! The actors did a great job bringing this book to life. This would be a wonderful title for a road trip.

Wonderful adventure!

Listened to this on a road trip with granddaughter. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. The narrator did an excellent job. We didn’t want the story to end.

Super Cute Modern Buttercream Gang With Humor

I listen before I let my sons. This story evokes the good old days... Makes you think of Opie from Andy Griffith having an adventure. A gang ot talented kids, led by smooth talking and quick thinking Riley Mack, thwarts bullies, stops bungling bank robbers, and brings down a puppy mill. Cute and funny story that emphasizes doing what's "right." Bending rules and telling "white" lies are used to achieve ends. Respect for military service is extended. The only drawback is that the main "villan" is the town Sheriff. He's portrayed much like Boss Hogg from the Dukes of Hazzard. My brother is a police officer and as a rule I disallow stories and games that disrespect officers of the law. However, this entire story is so cartoonish and light-hearted that I will probably allow it. The performance is done with a multi-member cast, music, and sound effects, making it much more like radio theater than the reading of a book. Overall very enjoyable!

Great worth every penny… wait do you pay for it?

Amazing story, I have listened to it every night to go to sleep.

It’s so good that each character is voiced by a different actor because in my opinion… it get ps very boring
