Joe Golem and the Drowning City: A Novel Audiobook

" The writing itself left a bit to be desired, but the concept, mood and story were fantastic. Loved it. "

" I would say 3.5 stars. It's a good novel but it has slow points to it that make it seem like the two authors are arguing with which direction the story should go. It's not nearly as cohesive as the other stories they've written together. I look forward to the developing character of Joe Golem. "

" Should really be called Molly McHugh and the Drowning City. Not a bad story, though, and the Joe of the title is a good guy. "

" I am a huge Mignola fan. This book lived up to those expectations, however, there were many themes and ideas that seemed repetitive with the author's other works. That is why only four stars instead of five. There was an originality lacking from this work, but for new readers of this author this would be a great ride for sure. "

" Not the Hellboy universe, but it has that feel. It claims to be an illustrated novel, but at least in the the Kindle version the illustrations are more the occasional atmospheric accent than illustrating the storyline. Still no one draws a rotting scull like Mignola. Liked it and will read further installments. "

" It starts out slow. I wasn't sure I was interested for about the first chapter, then I got interested in the characters and story. Interesting premise and alternate vision. "

" This is a great collaborative effort for Mike and Christopher. I love the world of magicians living in a sunken New York City. This story blends, pulp, alternative history and magic in a highly entertaining way. I hope there will be more. "

" This book works best in the history of the characters and the atmosphere of the different scenes. It is kind of lacking and slow when you get to the big action. A great fun read all together, though. "

" Interesting premise, especially as it ties into Mignola's Hellboy mythology, but the writing was mediocre. I would have enjoyed this a lot more as a graphic novel. "

" I usually steer clear of steampunk but this was a great story, Mignola always delivers. "

" It sounds so amazing.. Satanic steampunk in an underwater city.. For some reason I just couldn't get into it. "

" For all of its supernatural charms, I found the characterizations to be a bit flat, and the prose a little wobbly. "

" 4 stars for the art, 3 stars for the story. I've never been able to connect to Christopher Golden's writing, and this book was no exception. Fascinating concepts and characters with middling execution. "

" Gritty, apocalyptic noir with plenty of occult flair. Possibly hits too close to home for the Hellboy writers, but still very enjoyable. "

" Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden have done it again. an alternate universe story that grips you and doesn't let go. "

" From the creator of Hellboy, and I have to wonder, why not just make it a Hellboy novel? The similarities are painfully obvious. "

" What a fun book. I look forward to more set in this alternate Earth. As good as Golden and Mignola's Lord Baltimore book. "

" Imaginative and interesting, but the ending dragged on a bit. "
