The Everlasting Dreams of the Forgotten Realms

De: William Taylor

Narrado por: Charlie Burts

This will be a journey the likes of which you have never read about. Such ingenious works have yet to see the light of day. If you have the courage to pick up a volume, I would encourage you do so.

Follow me on a wonderfully spun tale through a kingdom that only exists inside of a dream. Bob White is perhaps the most beige person you have ever met, with misfortune placing him at the wrong place at the wrong time. He is forced out of his life of comfort and is thrust into a life of adventure as he races to save his own life and the lives of all his newly acquired friends.

Fun Book

This audiobook was a total gem...clever, surreal, funny, and strangely moving. From the opening scenes to the last twist, it kept me surprised, entertained, and thinking. The writing plays with language and in a creative, often hilarious way. The dream-like setting is full of unexpected turns and oddball details that somehow feel cohesive. It has the feel of a fantasy, but it's more like a philosophical adventure laced with satire and sharp humor...Overall, it made me laugh, think and question the world around me. Definetly recommend it!

I'm not beige, you are!

One of my favorite parts of this audiobook was the bit about the origin of the word beige—how it started in France to describe natural wool, then somehow evolved into an insult for anything boring or lifeless. That perfectly sums up Bob at the beginning: all sad, safe, and stuck. But as the story pulls him deeper into this strange, surreal world, he starts to pick up color—literally and figuratively. The twist at the end, when he turns around and calls us beige? That was a clever touch. The narration kept things moving, and the writing had enough edge and humor to make me keep listening until the end.

Imaginative

I have started to listen to fiction books while i work to pass the time and open my mind to something new. I am very glad that I started this book. So far I really enjoy the narrators voice and tone. It sounds like a friend of mine is telling me a story. I really like how they describe the different realms and worlds it makes me imagine that I'm there and it is a very free feeling. Looking forward to finishing this up on my way home.

Fantastic story

This is a very cool story written from a different perspective. I liked the way the narrator reads this as he is calm, positive and adds the right amount of intensity during certain parts which leaves you listening at the edge of your seat. Entertaining and great value in this one!!

A lovely listen!

I loved the origin of “beige”—from French wool to a synonym for dullness—mirroring Bob’s bland start. As he gains literal and figurative color in a surreal realm, the final jab—calling us “beige”—was brilliant. Sharp writing and engaging narration held me rapt.

a dreamlike adventure

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The story pulled me in right away with its magical world and unique style. The main character, Bob, starts off as an ordinary guy, but his journey becomes exciting and full of surprises. The dream-like setting made everything feel fresh and imaginative.

The narrator did a great job bringing the characters and world to life. It was easy to follow, and the pacing kept me interested from start to finish. If you like fantasy with heart, adventure, and a touch of humor, this is a great listen.

Really exciting and eventful

I like the unique way in which this story exists being inside of a dream. It really makes the whole story that much more interesting. There is a great development with the main character and his adventure is truly an exciting one!

dream this

The everlasting dreams is a decent read. It can get confusing as it is a dream after all. The book didn't resonnate with me as much as I would like, the storyline feel a litlte big confusing so you might have to relisten to some part to enjoy the story more.

Unique and quite entertaining

I really enjoyed the narrative of the story. It was fun and kept me hanging on even if some parts were a little confusing. I was able to catch up later. I listen to a lot of books on 2x speed but this one will get you lost if you do. The narrator was great and easy to listen to and the quality of the recording was great.

A Dreamlike Adventure with Heart

This audiobook totally surprised me in the best way. Bob’s journey from ordinary guy to reluctant hero in a surreal, magical world was both funny and touching. The narrator’s calm, expressive voice added so much depth.
