Seriously! 8-16 minutes per stats update really became so annoying! And they cover stat updates a lot! I guess those who keep track of each character’s stats on their wall chart to capitalize on every roll of the dice finds the hours of stat updates fascinating.
Review from Dads vs. the World →
the characters were very relatable. the story was enjoyable and the narrator really put it all together.
Loved the series up until the last few books. Clearly BH is just dialing it in now. Barry, if this about fulfilling a contract requirement just give them the $ back. You’re too good for this. Narration continues to be spectacular though. That’s the only reason I could finish it.
I saw advertisements for this series billing it as “Hitchhiker’s guide to the Apocalypse” and generally comparing it with the masterwork of Douglas Adams. That, it is not. Its a cute story with an irreverent look at post-apocalyptic themes but it lacks the actual humor of the compared work. Still 20 hours for 1 credit..
I liked the 2 main characters. Especially Murphy. He added depth and humor to the story.
I actually read Robert Evans’s memoirs The Kid Stays in the Picture before I read this, and I feel like I’m so enriched with knowledge and culture. So interesting to know so much about one of the greatest films ever made.
I could not stop listening to this one. Even if you think you know everything about the making of GF, there is something new here for you. I will reread this at some point.

Love the story so far, and how the status sheets are done. MC is super intelligent/good with magic, and it shows! Funny moments, and the gritty side of being a necromancer.
Review from Book of the Dead 2: Sacrifice →
This book is so good. What great storytelling. The story could end here and I’d be satisfied, but can’t wait for a 3rd one. Plenty of humor, hard fought battles, cool magic system, and emotional impact.
I love the story, the plot the characters and development. However, the side stories and reading everything such as stats, perks, skills and descriptions is like 30% of the book. I don’t like Zach’s progression as much either , unlike other characters I feel like it’s a lot of plot armor over and over again…
