This is just... bad

Revisado: 05-21-21

The synopsis sold me on the idea and I spend my credit and happily downloaded it. This was the last time I felt joy when it came to this story. The characters were cliched. The backgrounds were boring. And just when I started to lose myself for a moment the writer would say something so incredibly stupid it yanked me out again.
The narrator seemed to feel the same apathy towards the work based on his dry, even read. His voice is the verbal equivalent of milk, dry toast and plain yogurt. Nothing special or noteworthy.
I wanted to power through it based on the synopsis, it sounded amazing! And if an actual writer had had the idea, this would've been a great tale. As it stands it's just a monument to boredom and apathy.

Get "Metro 2033" instead

Revisado: 09-29-20

This was awful.
Like... I listened for hours in disbelief wondering when the quality of writing would turn at least tolerable and it never happened.
The characters are so cookie cutter that it makes it painful to listen to the cliched dialog.
DO. NOT. GET. THIS

*Gushes Positive Feelings*

Revisado: 09-16-20

Great plot and characters.
Narration is banging.
Amazing action.
Fireflyesque but not in a bad way.
Worth every minute of listen time.

Great Follow Up

Revisado: 09-16-20

The narrator R.C. Bray continues to wow me with his fantastic range. I could probably tolerate a terrible book if it was read by that man.
Amazing follow up to Galaxies Edge and it feels like the writers are starting to get their legs on the story. Got a bit of a Star Wars flavor at the back of my throat, but that's not at a point against it. Will most definitely listen to this over and over again.

AMAZING!

Revisado: 09-16-20

Loved it!
From start to finish it was a great listen, the narrator was on point and did his best to vary his tone from character to character so you always knew who was who even in the heat of the action.
Characters all seemed to be a well known archetypes but within the scope of the story, it didn't ruin it. in fact, I just realized it as I wrote this.
Tactical sci-fi isn't something I thought I'd enjoy, but here I am.
Download THE HELL out of this book. it is worth every minute.

Killed The Series

Revisado: 09-16-20

I absolutely loved this series until this offering.
The narrator particularly was awful and the new characters bland and one dimensional. I've tried on multiple occasions to finish it, but it just drags.

A Dark Journey

Revisado: 06-07-15

If you could sum up Metro 2033 in three words, what would they be?

Dark as Hell

Which character – as performed by Rupert Degas – was your favorite?

He did a superb job with all of them, so it's difficult to choose just one.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely.

Any additional comments?

Philosophy, action, and sci-fi wrapped up in a nice Russian flavored wrapper. You really feel the heaviness throughout Artyom's journey. The world feels lived in and abused. The flow is pitch perfect and the narrator does a FANTASIC job of giving each character a personality of their own. I literally can't say enough good things about this audio book.

A Meta Eff Up

Revisado: 06-07-15

If you could sum up Redshirts in three words, what would they be?

Star Trek Riff

If you’ve listened to books by John Scalzi before, how does this one compare?

'The Andriod's Dream' was flawless, and this could have been the same except for the codas at the end that just messed up both the flow and feel of the book. If they'd been redacted and say, more meat added to the middle of the story, I would've loved this book.

Any additional comments?

Seriously. Those codas at the end suck.

Make me

Revisado: 06-01-15

What made the experience of listening to Mogworld the most enjoyable?

Yangtze Croshaw's performance was breathtaking. A wide scope of accents and voices. At no point was i ever uncertain which character was speaking. He kept the pace of the book and I never felt out of sync with the story.

What did you like best about this story?

Unique idea executed almost perfectly. I do have to begrudgingly ding the man for a star because he makes the new author mistake of repeating certain phrases enough for the reader or listener to catch onto it.

What about Yahtzee Croshaw’s performance did you like?

All of it.

Any additional comments?

Check out Zero Punctuation on the Escapist for more of Y.C. without the hassle of censorship.

Do EWE think it's a good idea? I do

Revisado: 06-01-15

If you could sum up The Android's Dream in three words, what would they be?

I don't like this game Audible.

Any additional comments?

Solid story, damn entertaining, and laugh out loud funny (at points). Any complains I have are level at Double W, the narrator. He's good at keeping the pacing and emotion strong, but I would've liked wider array of voices. I found myself wondering who was talking from time to time.
