The Book of Deacon

Where does The Book of Deacon rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This story is great but could use some work, there is something great about it, but it could be better. Worth listening too, but not as good as some of the others I have in my library.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Book of Deacon?

The time spent in the belly of the beast was great.

What three words best describe Karyn O'Bryant’s performance?

It wasn't a bad performance by Karyn O'Bryant, the voices were all unique and recognizable each time; however, there was times in the narration where it was the exact cadence and pacing for telling a bedtime story and made me a bit sleepy, especially when I listened to this all in one go and this is a long book so been up a long time listening.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes definitely. The story was packed with action like most books wrote by men tends to be, full of fighting, violence, and battles.

Any additional comments?

A few things I find confusing in the plot line, but that's because it hasn't been entirely explained yet. I don't think the sword will be explained fully until a future book.

Great story

This was a simple good vs evil high fantasy novel. A real fun read with some truly loveable characters made real for me by the excellent narrator. Well worth a read.... Or listen.

He said She said

Please don't get me wrong, I love the books and the story, but I really hate the fact that the author doesn't seem to stop the "He said" "She said" every few seconds when two characters are in conversation. Driving me crazy.

Very good!

The Book Of Deacan is one of the best audiobooks I have ever listened to. The story was very clear and the characters were very mysterious. I like how you think “Leo/Lane” is a loyal , misunderstood creature when he was really the “Red Shadow” assassin. Over all it was a thrilling and exiting story.

I do like the story but there are dialogue issues

Would you try another book written by Joseph Lallo or narrated by Karyn O'Bryant?

I would like to read another book by Joseph Lallo but there are some technical issues with his writing. There are far too many 'he said' and 'she said' which spoils the audio book so I think I might read the actual book.Karyn O'Bryant is a good narrator.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Myn the dragon

Which scene did you most enjoy?

They were all very similar.

Could you see The Book of Deacon being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

It could be made into a movie and possibly Keira Knightly could play Myranda.

Any additional comments?

I believe that show don't tell is better than too much dialogue as the 'he said' and 'she said' has driven me mad!Myranda is a little too perfect and although she does have her 'heroine' flaws they aren't quite enough.

A great introduction to this world

meandering but so interesting. There are many interesting characters and sub stories going on in this book. Love the characterisation and development of the secondary characters and the incidental every day descriptions. Look forward to returning soon.

brilliant story but it's one audio file!

it's a really good story but the lack of separate audio files for chapters is infuriating
