12/6/2017

 
Comedian Kevin Hart opens up about his life in and outside comedy in this warts and all look at his life. Rocks are not only looked under but seem throuoghly examined within the 11 hour time.

​Hart does a fantastic job of making the listener fell his emotions both in the highs and lows of his life. His humour is a huge selling point of the narration and having him tell his story adds to the experience as a whole.

Episode 8; The Handmaid's Tale: Special Edition, Review

31/5/2017

 
Rarely does a piece of entertainment live up to the hype but with The Handmaid's Tale it truly does.

The narration by Claire Danes is superb but what makes this book so appealing is the emotional wrangler writer Margaret Atwood puts the reader through. The story is full of ideas that feel true to life enough to worry you while still remaining poignant today.

​This is simply one of the best books I have listened to in a long time.

Episode 6; Just One Damned Thing After Another: An Audible Original Drama, Review

22/5/2017

 
The library of Audible Original Dramas continues to grow with Jodi Taylor's Just One Damned Thing After Another, adapted by Marty Ross.

This is a first foray for Paul into the St Mary's Chronicles but with a strong cast and a creative pedigree from Audible studios, hopes are high for a dramatic trip through time with Doctor Max and her cohorts.

At just over 7 hours the book was a romping ride with one question mark marring but not breaking the experience.

Episode 4; Alien: River of Pain: An Audible Original Drama, Review

17/5/2017

 
As the Alien Universe increases its lore with new films and books, Audible are working hard to help listeners enjoy the Xenomorphic tales. 

River of Pain is the second Audible Original Drama to be released in successive years and it helps to fill in the story of Newt and her family on the planetoid known as LV426.

It works surprisingly well as you can hear from Paul's review. With it's wonderful cast and superb directior in Dirk Maggs, it should have been more obvious.
