Incomprehensible

This book is utterly ridiculous!!! The storyline difficult to follow. You only have one Ken to help you through the story . Waste of time and more importantly credit. I believe authors owe listeners their credits back! I liked the first book which is why I was waiting for authors second. Couldn’t care less about a third.

Like an X-Files series.

I have enjoyed both books in this series. They are well told story lines that slowly sneak from the normal to the abnormal (for lack of a better term). I recommend both books and am awaiting another in this series.

Very thankful.

Although not quite as good as "The Anomaly" I did enjoy this quite a bit though it took a bit too long for the story to really get going.

Not as good as The Anomaly

I purchased The Possession after listening to the first book in the series, The Anomaly - which I very much enjoyed. The Possession is narrated by a different narrator, who often falls into a monotone and is terrible with the other voices - especially Ken's who is english. The narrator's english accent is painful to listen to. The characters in this book are the same as in the first, yet you would be hard pressed to recognize them. Without spoiling the story, these characters go through harrowing experiences in The Anomaly and develop very close relationships as a result of surviving terrible events together. I could not read/listen to that book fast enough. It was a good read. But The Possession made me question if these same characters were the same people or if the book had been written by the same author. Maybe it is because I was put off by the poor narration since I really hated it. However I think along with the bad character development that the plot for The Possession is very weak, muddled and made it difficult to suspend disbelief. I have read many of Michael Marshall Smith's novels (he is writing this series as Michael Rutger) and is the reason I bought these audio books. But this book does not compare to his other novels. I am not sure I will purchase anymore in the series.

Good follow up to The Anomaly

These are fun works for sure - they certainly aren’t crafted to win any literary accolades but the author writes good banter (Ken and Nolan are great together).

It’s true, the performance is rough, especially Ken’s “accent.” Still, I will keep an eye on this series if more make it out.

Just ok

I really liked the first book, The Anomaly, but this one wasn't nearly as good. Seemed like most of the book was a build up to the story and wasn't very interesting. The narrator wasn't my favorite either. He was pretty monotone and didn't differentiate the voices very well so it was hard to tell who was who. His Ken accent was terrible, all I could think of was Stewie from Family Guy. If there's a third book I'll give it a try, just hope the narrator is someone else.

Average at best

this book is living proof that you should keep the same narrator through an entire series if possible. if you listened to book one like I did, the difference in narrator is extremely jarring for book 2. furthermore while the author once again writes a good book, it got extremely hard to follow in the middle all the way to the end. honestly I'm somewhat surprised I made it all the way through this book

Don't waste your money!

This book was poorly written and very hard to follow along. It took off on so many tangents and jumped around too much.

a little bit of a let down

i wanted to read this book because the first one was so fantastic. this one didn't grab me like the other one did or keep me glued... plus the narrator was different and i already had Ken s voice as the other guys. this narrator didn't do ken justice.

Good story.

over all good story. not as good as the anomaly but not bad. i will read another of nolan's adventures if it is written.
