The Atrocity Archives Audiobook

" This is my first entry into the quirky mind of Charles Stross, and I loved every step of the way. The book has very good plot, and I look forward to many hours in the company of Bob Howard, in the continued series. The book is excellently narrated by Gideon Emery, who has a very pleasant voice - not to mention individual accents for the different characters we meet along the way, which makes the plot much easier to follow. I recommend this book "

" Like chocolate and peanut butter, except insert Nazi-killin' for chocolate and Lovecraft for peanut butter. Sprinkle a generous dose of mathematical magic in and I don't know why I'm not re-reading it now... "

" Another books which has the ability to creep you out! Spies, magic, computers. "

" The unexpected hero, the functionary par excellence. "

" This read is like Starbucks coffee. It's an acquired taste. And guess what? Starbucks and I are not friends. No amount of sugar or creamer could make me swallow this bland mix. Not for me~ "

" Delta Green meets the Vogons from Hitchhiker's Guide. "

" A fun book about a dysfunctional agency safeguarding reality from Lovecraftian horrors. Funny and interesting. "

" (John LeCarre + Wargames (aka l33t hax3rz))H.P. Lovecraft = A blisteringly solid and fun read. "

" Good fun, even if the latter part of the first book descends into near incomprehensibility. As someone who's never picked up a Lovecraft or a Deighton, it kind of made me think of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but set in the British Civil Service. Which, now I think about it, is a great idea.. "

" It was a good story but not for everyone. Add a star if you're a fan of HP Lovecraft. "

" The Dresden Files meets Dilbert. "

" This is a fun concept. Spy meets Horror meets Cyberpunk. Will definitely have to be picking up the rest of this series. "

" Fun read, though prone to mythological-theoretical physics digressions of the fictitious variety. The afterward was interesting too. Not sure if I'll pick up the next in the series, but will give the author another go with one of his other books. "

" A fast paced action/horror/comedy which kept me reading too late every evening. Five stars for being entertaining, not necessarily for being great litterature... "

" Bethke's Headcrash and Stephenson's Snow Crash meet Lovecraftian horrors. Not something to take at all seriously, but a fun techno-thriller and horror novel. "

" Not too bad, although probably not something I'll re-read in the future. I'll probably follow up on the rest of the series. The mix of magic and technology (via mathematics) was interesting. "

" Cthulhu mythos mixed with espionage/adventure, the day to day with the occult, humor and lots of "geek speak" - it was enjoyable and different. "

" I wanted some new sci-fi and got bit by a bad book.Bleh. Felt like I was reading a suped up (bad) version of Hitchiker's Guide for cubby hole office nerds. No character, B movie horror plot. "

" Good read, if you like modern-day conspiracies with a helping of Cthulhoid influence in a British civil service organisation. "

" I've never read much Lovecraft, and I'm not big into math, but this was still a pretty fracking good book. Onward to the next book! "

" It was a good story but not for everyone. Add a star if you're a fan of HP Lovecraft. "

" First book of the "Laundry Series", and I plan to read more. Imaginative, horrorific, funny and very readable. "

" Even when the main character is done saving the world, he still has to fill out his timecard and travel paperwork correctly and on time....bureaucracy at its finest. I loved this book!!! "

" An enjoyable (really 2) books that kept me entertained throughout. Definitely recommended if you like geeky and quirky scifi/horror fiction. "

" After reading The Fuller Memorandum, I decided to go back and start at the beginning of the series. Still not sure this was it, but at least it shows where Harry and Mo meet. Interesting. Creepy. The atrocities are just that -- atrocious. "

" Loved this book. A treat to see a riff on Cthulhu Mythos so well done - just downloaded the follow-up in the series. "
