I am happy that I purchased the Volume 1 set. I had a long drive from Oregon to New Mexico which took two days and listening to the first three volumes was great for my wife and I. It took our minds off of some of the long desolate stretches of highway. I am by no means a professional book reviewer, and there have been many books with bad reviews from people that seem to get a sense of enjoyment from nitpicking books appart, much like the “professional yelp reviewers”. I hold very little regard for those reviews. I just tell friends and family, “I like what I like”. I do read classic literature and serious novels, but I absolutely love books like this! The narration was spot on and the story lines to me are just brilliant. Never once did I say to myself “Self, why dont we listen to something else?” For two days it was nonstop listening to stories that this author has brilliantly put together. It was so much fun to listen too! I will be purchasing more from this series MOST DEFINITELY!!!! If you like quirky and Humorous Sci-Fi like I do, you will not be disappointed with this author or narrator! Thank you Barry for a fun romp through your great imagination!
