Rumo & His Miraculous Adventures: A Novel in Two Books Audiobook

" Fantastic! Fun, intricate, well-thought out. "

" Rumo was a fun read, but it lacked the magic that made City of Dreaming Books so excellent and special. The ideas and language and characters are far less compelling - they're just "imaginative" and "quirky" without being truly creative, which makes it feel its childishness felt more strongly. It also reveals the weaknesses of the plot, which, as in all Moers books, is pretty tropy and predictable. The world feels strangely small in this book, because Moers essentially writes every piece of lore he mentions into the main plot line - the things that are presented as old, big, world-spanning become Rumo-scaled and completely lose any mystery they may have had. Still a fun read, escapist stuff for a stressful day, etc. "

" my favourite book. (i could explain why, but that would spoil) "

" Both Rumo and Captain Bluebear are good. my son turned me on to these books. Can drag a little bit, but then picks up steam again. "

" Fantastic book - funny, romantic, fantasy, adventure. "

" Amazing read. Great world, great characters. Just bloody brilliant "

" FINALLY! Though I started this book in the spring of 2009, I have FINALLY finished it! Brilliant book, full of memorable characters! Sometimes drags, sometimes speeds through, but all-around, a great adventure story! "

" The best book I've ever read! "

" This was one of the books that made me sad when I finished. It's very cute with an interesting fantasy world and I would have liked to continue reading about the characters and their adventures. "

" Rumo is one of his best "

" To start, the drawings by the author were amazing! So very detailed... :) The story is indescribable.. I dont know how to explain. It's close to 700 pages, so it will keep you engrossed for a while. Really, jsut read it! "

" This book is my new favorite. Walter Moers' imagination never ceases to amaze me. Every page brought new surprises that I never could have expected. It was funny, sad, scary, and exciting at the same time. "

" Moers has yet to disappoint me with the Zamonia series. I usually read through the books quickly as I can't put them down. His stories are clever, the world fascinating, and the drawings entertaining. "

" Walter Moers keeps you going through the fantastic world of strange qnd surprising creatures... wonderful! "

" Wonderful book, though the ending was a bit of a let down. But damn, what a good read!! "

" Awesome! Whimsical, fun, and yet bighearted... I got lots of comments from people as I toted this book around! "

" I was captivated by this little dog and I found it hard to put down. Never a bore or dull moment. "

" Great great great book, and pictures too. It's funny, totally weird, imaginative in an acid trip kind of way, and it makes you feel like a kid again. "

" A very enjoyable discovery. This fantasy and parody of fantasy, this extremely violent children's tale, is at once funny and horrific. "

" Best book own out of 1000 books. Nuff said. "

" One of my favorite books EVER! "

" Stupendo! opera epica, come fosse l'Odissea, che racconta viaggi per amore, lotte contro il male, un mondo fantastico di creature e terre magiche, dove si fa conoscenza coi Croccamauri "

" A weird and wonderful tale. You must like fanatasy to like this, but as the genre goes, a very good book. "

" Ein einfach tolles Buch. Moers ist so voller Phantasie, was der in einem Buch verballert reicht anderen Autoren für ein komplettes Regal. "

" READ THIS! A true modern day epic! "
