Sheeple'

By: Simon carr

Narrated by: vertchangelo

Length: 4 hrs and 31 mins

Publisher's summary

Just because something is a conspiracy, that doesn't mean it is not true. Imagine if conspiracies were true: Not that weird, you might think. Now, imagine if all of them were true. That is the world into which Jim has just been thrust. Nothing is true, and everything is just plain weird.

The world changes dramatically when what we believe to be reality is replaced by what the insightful champions of truth on YouTube have been trying to break out into the world, unfolding in front of us. Sheeple.

Comical Story

I enjoyed this ridiculous story written by Simon Carr. The story revolved around a young man who was thrust into a world where all conspiracies are true. The tale was interesting, funny, and contemporary. My only caveat is that some of the humor becomes offensive. Vertchangelo's narration was just okay. In his performance, some of the words were muddled, plus there were times when his tone was good but at others, he seemed bored or disinterested in the material. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

What if all those conspiracy theories were true?

If you've ever wondered just what life would be like if all of those conspiracy theories that people believe in were actually real, then this book is for you. You can join Jim as he, too, learns that everything he thought was real wasn't and everything he thought wasn't actually was. And that includes the earth being flat.

With typical Simon Carr comedy, Jim's life goes nuts and he is suddenly involved in something that he's not sure he ever wanted to be, especially as he rather likes the effects of gravity.

While I still think listening to Carr's novels provides a better experience than reading, I did not particularly care for the narrator of this audiobook, vertchangelo. It wasn't necessarily bad. Rather, it was very clear that vertchangelo doesn't have much experience with narrating audiobooks. His performance did get better as the book went on, but it never reached the level of good. At the same time, I can't necessarily specifically identify what it was that was missing, just that something was.

Of course, the shortcoming of this narrator may also be because all of the other narrators I've listened to for Carr's novels have all been so good. Even though this narrator was not as good as the others I have listened to, I still think listening to this book enhances the experience, and I encourage you to do so if you can.

Another example why Simon Carr is a great author!

Sheeple is another example of why Simon Carr is such a great author. I could easily relate to the MC and other characters, the world is well developed and mimics our current one, all while being a hilarious introspective ride. I look forward to what Simon Carr writes next! Audio Version: This is my first time listening to anything narrated by Vertchangelo and he did a good job with the story.

Simon writes funny great

This book is hilarious! No other way to start this review. You have aliens, you have rednecks, and Uranus. Gotta save the Earth, so let's do it!

The narrator had a good feel for how I would envision this book to be read out loud.
