Disappointed

I expected more, the performance of the narration was good, however I thought the story was severely lacking in its depth and intrigue.

10 stars

If I could give this book 10 stars I would!! I love Steven Becker writing and Paul McSorley's voice. Just know if you start this book you will not put it down and you will pick up the next one right away!

Well done!

This is a wonderful adventure story. It flows so well, I couldn’t believe when it was over! The characters are well developed and likable. The narration is well done, creating a nice even flow to the story. If you like adventure stories, you will love this. A strong start to the series, I can’t wait to listen to the rest of them!

I'm not sure how to rate this

‘Wood’s Relic’ is a well thought out and designed story but I felt as if it didn’t really grab my attention. The story has some action but not a lot nor does it have overly impressive descriptions of the keys to transport the reader there. The characters are likable but I felt as if the listener doesn’t get enough background on to feel a connection with them. Finally I’m not sure the book really resolves anything. What’s up with the relic? Is there something amazing that’s going to be discovered? I felt as if it left too much unresolved. That being said I enjoyed the author’s writing style and while I don’t have a whole lot of nice things to say about the book, while I was in the middle of it I didn’t feel as I disliked the book, but rather I wanted to keep going. Maybe I just need to go somewhere warm!

Mr. McSorley does a great job with the narration, his characters are great.

fun, interesting story

Would you listen to another book narrated by Paul J McSorley?

Sure

Could you see Wood's Relic being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yeah, I could. It has lots of interesting characters that would make for a highly entertaining show.
