Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,693
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

Laugh out loud snark!
Reviewed: 05-08-22
Even though these audiobooks are pretty long, they still end way too soon! I love the hero, Jason’s, wise-cracking snark combined with introspection and philosophy. The world is richly imagined and the litRPG features enhance the story. The narrator is perfect! He manages to voice a wide range of characters and accents, imbuing each with a unique personality. But his rendering of Jason’s disconcerting snark is the best!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 15,989
In the absolutely packed Act II, the dark fantasy resumes and the Sandman expands into the French Revolution, ancient Rome, 19th-century San Francisco, eighth-century Baghdad, and beyond. New and familiar characters abound, voiced by a bright mix of performers, including Kat Dennings, Regé-Jean Page, Emma Corrin, Michael Sheen, Kristen Schaal, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, Jeffrey Wright, and so many more, including fan-favorite narrators Simon Vance and Ray Porter.

Outstanding entertainment
Reviewed: 10-23-21
I was totally immersed in this listening experience. Characters were fascinating and wonderfully voiced. Just like an audio comic - I could see the images in my mind they were so artfully described. The narration was outstanding (as always) and the writing fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Story4 out of 5 stars 3,677
An AI overseer and a human crew arrive on a distant planet to salvage an ancient UN starship. The overseer is unhappy. The crew, well, they're certainly no A-team. Not even a C-team on the best of days. And worse? Urmahon Beta, the planet, is at the ass-end of nowhere. Everybody expects this to be a long, ugly, and thankless job. Then it all goes disastrously wrong. What they thought was an uninhabited backwater turns out to be anything but empty.

Wanted to like this…
Reviewed: 09-04-21
I love Nathan Fillion and his voice works well for this story. Problem is that he talks too fast in places, meaning I often missed the end of sentences as they were swallowed away. I think this book would work better in print as I also found it difficult to separate poem from story at times. It was also a bit too depressing for me (until the very very end). I much prefer spunky space opera to claustrophobic Alien-type narrative.
