Enteraining!

Excellent naration that bring characters distinguishable personalities. Great verbal illustrations. Plot developes like a comic.

The detailed worlds and characters

I liked everything definitely could be a trilogy. Needs a cast of of characters that are voiced by other people. The one person throws me off throughout. A great book

Slow starter

the book takes a while to get started but it does finish well, just have to stick with it.

Movie was better, still an entertaining book.

I have never said this before but I think I enjoyed the movie better than the book. This narration still kept me entertained but it was lacking in an area I can't put my finger on.

Pretty close to the movie

I enjoyed the inner dialogue not really available from the movie. Vocal performance was sufficient.

A bonus to a spectacular movie

Incredible! This movie novelization proved to be equal match to the film which I loved very much!

Great book!!

I really enjoyed this book! The narrator was great and the story was spot on. I definitely recommend it.

Challenging as a Movie and also as a Novelization

Prior to reading about this international graphic series, I had never heard or seen “Valerian”. Prior to seeing the movie I wanted to listen to this novelization first. The storyline is just OK, as it is simplistic and to some extent very predictable.
The reader and voice performance was very good and I finished this audiobook in a day and a half. My overall rating was a four stars only because of the reader.

10/10 will read again

absolutely loved it I hope they make a sequel
compared to the movie, of course the book is always better but I think they did an amazing job staying to the book!

Great fun story

The characters are simple but interesting. The evolution of the story is great with a solid basis. A fun scifi book
