Other Kingdoms Audiobook

" I like Richard Matheson because his books are very different than what I usually read. He has an ability to draw me into the story. "

" It had such potential, was really let down. "

" Absolute crap. Painful to read. Glad it's over. "

" There wasn't anything new about this fairy story, and I reached the end and went "That's it? Really no bigger payoff than this?" There were also some narrative tics that were annoying, probably deliberately so, though I'm not clear to what purpose. It's not actively bad; it's just not good. If you're stuck in a snowbound cabin, and your reading choices are this and *Billy Budd*, I'd recommend this without hesitation. Then again, I'd probably recommend the Code of Federal Regulations rather than *Billy Budd*. "

" Great story, really glad I picked this one back up. Matheson is a genius, he has the ability to make me believe in anything and everything, even faeries. ;) "

" So far this is very interesting but I have only done the first chapter. Marrator Bronson Pinchot is wonderful so far. "

" Well, here I go again. It looks like my rating is above average here for his title. No matter. I liked the book. It has a surreal quality that goes very well with the story within. If you can't do the whole fairy/magic thing then you better pass on this one. "

" This was painful. Obviously Matheson can write, but the plot was ridiculous and non-sensical, and don't even get me started on the narrator's meant-to-be-cute conceit with alliteration. Ugh. "

" I feel like there's more levels to this book than I got into, which may have been part of the point considering the subject is multiple worlds within our own. Other than a few perhaps too intense sex scenes, I found this pretty intriguing. "

" I was expecting something else. But why? This is a horror writer, after all. Definitely made me shiver a few times! I both disliked and enjoyed the 82-year old man's voice in this. He got annoying, but it was also endearing in a grandpa kind of way. "

" It was sooooo promising from start until midway... Then all of a sudden, it went to 5th-graders-write-better low. Sayang. Don't bother with this one. "

" Meh. I found this rather annoying and pointless. It wasn't terrible, and I managed to slog through, but it was a near thing. Neither erotic, nor enchanting, in my view. "

" I should have been clue-in by the recommendation by Stephen King. This is a dark and at times vulgar story of a man stumbling upon a fairy world. The plot was not particularly engaging or unique and the ending supremely unsatisfying. The best part was the "voice" of the narrator/main character. "

" I liked the story, but disliked the way the author kept interjecting his thoughts about what he was writing. It was annoying and distracted me from the story. "

" This book was an absolute waste of my time. I had so much hope for it after reading "I am Legend" but I was very disappointed. "

" Not sure how this got onto my reading list, but listened to it while traveling. It was okay, but didn't really excite me. "

" So far this is very interesting but I have only done the first chapter. Marrator Bronson Pinchot is wonderful so far. "
