A made for TV movie

The writing was good quality. The story line was a bit predictable. Sort of like adventure movies on a Saturday afternoon on basic cable. Not a complete waste of time if you are looking to escape reality for a while.

Interesting, not bad

Easy-moving, cliche language and dialogue, but overall a decent way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Production problems, good story

What didn’t you like about Clay Teunis’s performance?

There were a number of times in the audio version in which the producer didn't properly edit the book, so that lines in the story were repeated.

Any additional comments?

A solid story, and I thought Clay Teunis did a nice job voicing it.

No Real Excitement

Kept waiting for something really interesting or exciting to happen. It didn't. Too many "cute" tough guy phrases, like a tired Bruce Willis was the main character or meant to be. Narrator helped make a bad book better... pass on this one.

Indiana Jones meets Jason Bourne

Would you recommend The Lost Ark to your friends? Why or why not?

There was a lot of humor in the book, almost to the point of overdoing it, but I did laugh
aloud quite a bit. It was adventure packed, but the comical sarcasm kept me grounded. Would I recommend it? Yes, it is very entertaining.

Which character – as performed by Clay Teunis – was your favorite?

I loved all the characters I was supposed to, with the possible exception of the old man professor. When the story line shifted to him, time sort of happened around him and he wasn't a part of it. Very creative writing that was.
