If you’ve listened to books by Steven Bird before, how does this one compare?
I have never listened to anything by Steven Bird before but I would definitely consider picking up another of his books to try out. Although Erebus had a number of shortcomings there was nothing that completely killed it for me and overall the story was fun.
What does Kevin Pierce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Kevin Pierce is an excellent narrator, I have chosen books in the past simply because he was on the bill. Although Erebus wasn’t his best (I’ve never really liked Kevin’s accents and there were a couple in Erebus that just didn’t cut it for me) it was still a solid job and an enjoyable listen.
Could you see Erebus being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
The movie has been done a number of times already. It would likely be a fun watch, I couldn’t picture this being a series however and I have zero input on cast.
Any additional comments?
In summary, a fun listen though pretty “flat” – no depth or chemistry. I don’t think I would pick up the next book in this series if one were ever written, but I would try out something else by Steven Bird. The books are pretty short so I might wait for an Omnibus version of his “The New Homefront” or “Society Lost” series; 6 hours is a tough pill when burning Audible credits! Will definitely keep my eyes open on future releases.
