The Ocean Road

By: Sonny Collins

When the magical WoodRock is stolen from the Land of Elyk, a wizard must find six volunteers to go with him on a dangerous journey to the Land of Nodnarb in the hope of retrieving the stone before something evil can take over the world.

Wrong medium

This was an interesting tale that I was requested to review, it made for an interesting albeit underwhelming read. I found myself enjoying the Irish narration without which I may have had trouble finishing the listen in a timely manner. The bit about the author at the end really cleared up some of the questions pulling at the back of my head, Sonny is a story teller not strictly a novelist and that isn’t a mark against this story I found myself imagining this as a campfire story told dramatically or as an old 70s-80s cheesy meandering fantasy film and I do feel it’s simplicity would have better justice done in those forms.
Overall I appreciate what the author was going for and my favorite aspects of the characters and the story was that the main character was a writer which is not common and sorely needed in more stories; and that the main antagonist was a less conventional creature. I do recommend this book but only passively as it isn’t as gripping as some.

The Ocean Road

This was a traditional yet new story of a beast that steals from a village and a quest to get their property back.The band is rife with stereotypes and battling among themselves. Andrew McDermot is a good narrator. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'

Shockingly AMAZING!

As always, I have to state that this book was given to me for free in exchange for a review.
I always like to state that this does not impact my review or my opinion of the book. My reviews are honest and my own opinion of the story, performance, and overall thoughts on the book.

The Ocean Road by Sonny Collins is a fantasy story about saving the world from a great evil. A group of villagers and their local wizard set out to retrieve the mystical Woodrock from the monster Gothmur, who wants to rule the world. The Woodrock is apparently required to be in a specific location, otherwise, the world will be destroyed.

The characters were great, and the narrator was PERFECT for this book.

Spellbinding

Loved the story and the narrator's accent / ability to change voices enhanced the story!

Nice

This book made me think of a fable.
It is a story of friendship, hope, love greed and heroism. It was really CHARMING.
