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.

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

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...
