This was my first graphic audio book. I have done other audio books and no offense to the narrators who have an incredibly difficult job of trying to speak clearly and at a reasonable pace, but hearing the same person trying to make up different voices for different characters is at times laughable. What makes it worse is when you have in your mind what a favorite character sounds like and the narrator’s impression doesn’t come close. Graphic audio books with a large cast of voice actors and sound effects (nice to hear foley artists at work) makes everything so much more enjoyable.

This particular series has a great story line, the main characters, especially Cal Carver, are wonderfully detailed and very 3-dimensional. Very few things can make me laugh out loud and fortunately I listen to these when I am making long road trips by myself as this series has me laughing a lot! I am currently on the third book in the series and hope that there are a lot to follow!
