The author’s ability to bring clear historical facts to life along with insights into the character of the time and people is nothing short of brilliant!

Adrian’s Undead Diary… Bap, Kapow, Whap

What I loved about this book is that it is amazingly simple to listen too. The action scenes gave me the same feeling as when I was a kid reading a batman comic.

Due to the style in which the story is written, the narrator does not need to change voices for each...

The difference is brilliant. The narrators voice is great at that increased speed! I had...

Other reviewers have done an excellent job of telling us about the story itself so I won’t try to reinvent the wheel. You are better served by reading a plot review here So I will limit my review to other aspects of the story like narration. The narration does remind me a bit of a Seinfeld episode. It is pleasant but does make it a little difficult to experience any sort of tension. The complete opposite to a narrator like Kevin...
