They are getting better

I keep groaning over these books but as soon as I finish one I'm on to the next. The writing is improving and the story is starting to get good. Still predictable but always fun. If not a bit tongue in cheek.

Green Man Review's Review

I can now say unequivocally that listening to this story was an immeasurably better experience for me than I had reading (and re-reading) any of the other Nightside novels, as the incredible work done by everyone at Audible makes the story come truly alive. Until I started using an iPod to listen to audiobooks while taking a long morning walk around the downtown area of the city I live in, I had never really appreciated the experience of a well-crafted audiobook, as I simply can't listen to them when I'm doing anything else. All of the Nightside novels are told in the first person singular, as narrated by John Taylor himself. Think Philip Marlowe or perhaps Lew Archer. Yes, he's hard bitten. Cynical. And Marc Vietor's voice work which clearly indicates that he's seen everything life can possibly throw at him. Indeed Vietor truly makes Taylor, his world, and all of the other characters come alive for me in a way that they don't quite do on the page. At best, I can just say the voice work is perfect. And Marc Vietor does all of the Nightside novels! So I envy the hours upon hours of great fiction awaiting you when you listen to all of the Nightside novels!

Exhausting

A terrible series read by an actor who never has any emotion but camp. If I ever hear/read "in the Nightside" again, I will throw rocks. I spent six credits on these because of customer reviews.

Gotta love the Nightside

What can I say - another great Simon R. Green and his strange and weird Nightside!

Complete Enjoyment

I didn't think I was going to like this, after all I got it because it was a $4.95 special, I don't think I read the reviews or anything, next when I started listening I discovered I was listening to a wizzard tale. Then I really didn't think I'd make it 20 minutes. Still the author doesn't seen to take it all too seriously and makes a pretty gorey tale light and interesting. The narrator is the best I have listened to, he is so good, I had too look at the cover a couple times to see if more than one person was reading. He so completely changed characters so effortlessly, that just the small indication of a sound of a word and you know which character he was speaking for, (you don't have to wait for Marc Vietor read who the character is). Amazing (wish he would read some classics) now I'm going to want to listen to all the books he narrates. I really like narrators that don't over act the thing and don't make spitty sounds or swallowing noises if you know what I mean.

Ending Too Long

As usual for this author, the book contains great imagery. But, the last third of this book could have been reduced by half. Much of the latter dialog interferes with the flow. It could have been 5-star.

Pleasant transformation into a bizarre world

I've read all the books and this is the best transformation from book to audible to date

Best Thus Far

I enjoyed the journey of this book more than the ending. Since book one, I have been keen to see who ends up being JT's mother. Green did a great job in throwing together a bunch of cool characters and possible answers to the question. My fav book of the series thus far.

interesting plot

Between cheesy and dramatic, the names of the characters especially. But interesting plot and you can get easily absorbed into it. Which is why 4 books in and I'm still listening.
