Very enjoyable story, solid narration
Reviewed: 07-17-15
Very enjoyable story, even if the premise calls for an active suspension of belief at times. The narration is solid. Only wished it had been longer and I look forward to the next one

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 95
The year is 1364. Hungry creatures stalk the dark woods of medieval Europe, and both sea and sky teem with unspeakable horrors. There is no foulness, however, no witch nor demon, to rival the grave-robbing twins Hegel and Manfried Grossbart. This is their tale, sad but true.

No fun, in a bad way
Reviewed: 04-08-11
Unsympathetic, repulsive characters. The text doesn't flow and the narrative just seems to go nowhere. After a few minutes one looses interest. Tried several times, just cant listen to for long, gave up in the end

Gory fun
Reviewed: 04-08-11
Fast paced pulp fiction, filled to the brim with every satisfying B-movie monster-clich?? out there, good humor and great gory fun as legions of undead and interdimensional beings meet inventive, usually explosive, ends. For those interested, the book is peppered with gun-trivia. Mr Wyman does a good job narrating. At 23hrs its good value as well.

The Winter Queen of Faerie has manipulated Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden into accepting a case to solve a murder and stop a war between the courts of Summer and Winter that could have literally earth shattering consequences. His own soul is up for grabs. Dresden must dig deep to discover that at time a willingness to accept a little help from your friends, be they a cub pack of werewolves, old loves in sheep's clothing, or a battalion of pizza loving dewdrop fairies, is a very good thing.

Great books... but ease up on the DRM
Reviewed: 11-01-09
A very entertaining fantasy which is well narrated by mr Marsters. However only the first four books are available for non-US downloads, apparently due to DRM-issues. Very frustrating!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 383
English magicians were once the wonder of the known world, with fairy servants at their beck and call; they could command winds, mountains, and woods. But by the early 1800s they have long since lost the ability to perform magic. They can only write long, dull papers about it, while fairy servants are nothing but a fading memory.

Entertaining and well read by mr. Prebble
Reviewed: 02-26-09
This book is a fantasy set in an alternate version of our own universe during the napoleonic wars. It is essentially a study of a contrasting cast of characters (as the book's title implies immediately) and is plot-driven to a far lesser extent. That set aside, mr Prebble's performance deserves mention for it is excellent. All in all a very entertaining set of 30+ hours.

haunting
Reviewed: 03-02-08
This auidioversion of I am Legend is well read and very enjoyable. The haunting loneliness is well conveyed. If you have just seen the movie I recommend the book, it's so much better.
