A Great Book!!!

Everything thing about book is great. The narrator was great and very interesting to listen to. Cannot wait to get to thez next book!!!

A bit dissapointed

Would you try another book from Morgan Rice and/or Wayne Farrell?

Probably not. The author moves from event to event in a very rapid succession that bothers me and is not tempered with character development. Mr. Farrell did a decent job at narration, he was clear and didn't stumble across words and such. However, his portrayal of the characters was sort of lacking any distinction making it difficult to understand a switch of perspective sometimes. This may be in part to lack luster writing than true lack of skill on the part of the Narrator.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Couldn't bring myself to finish it. got to within 1hr of the finish and stopped, though with the writers track record the main character probably lived his entire life and had many children who had children in that last two minutes of dialogue.

Which character – as performed by Wayne Farrell – was your favorite?

Mr. Farrell probably did the best with Eric, but that was the only distinct voice besides the drunks in the ale houses. All the rest were the same voice and temperment

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

This book is a movie. It cuts character development down to two scenes and skips to all the exciting bits.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this book for younger kids in grade school and below. There are few hard concepts (besides the brothel bit) that are explored and the story is really just a much longer fairy tail that can be summed up in a few pages. The main characters are all morally good and the bad characters are completely flat and uninteresting, being evil to the point of stupidity.

Engaging story although some of it is repetitive.

I enjoyed the story, it reminds me of the HBO series Game of Thrones. sometimes the main characters thoughts and moods are repeated over and over in different situations which does grow tiresome in listening or reading.

Fantastic Story & Great Heroe!

Enjoyed every chapter of this action fantasy! Narrator makes it come ALIVE!! Great portrayal of main character and his values! Can't wait to read the other two books in this series!

Loved it!

I really enjoy listening to Wayne Farrell and everything I've read from Morgan Rice has been fantastic. With both of them, you can't go wrong :)

missing end of story.

story starts well, but ends in the middle. A good book should be a complete story in itself.

Good story

It has a strong plot. The characters could be a little less redundant. The audio of this is well done. I enjoyed it. Overall I definitely recommend this book.

Worth Reading

I don't understand the outright hate nor the overwhelming love for this. It's worth reading.

Sickly generic but fast listen

Childs novel, good relaxing read if you like to listen to audio and not think or be terribly engaged. Concerned series is so long as I hate not finishing a series

Outstanding performance

Would you listen to A Quest of Heroes again? Why?

Yes, I've already read the book several time, but this audio book really helped bring the characters it to life.

What other book might you compare A Quest of Heroes to and why?

Eragon, both books create a wonderful world that you can picture yourself living in.

Which scene was your favorite?

I particularly enjoyed the scene where Thor was accepted into the legion

Any additional comments?

Morgan Rice should be really proud of this audio book, an already fantastic book was really brought to life by this performance.
