Absolutely brilliant from start to finish!
I have to be honest this was an accidental find. It came up in my free offerings and I choose it randomly not expecting much, boy was I wrong!
The story is so well written.
I loved all the characters for different reasons, each one had a personality that drew me in.
The main character is obliviously funny in his odd ways and each acquaintance that joins him on his quest has an equally entertaining personality.
I was completely hooked, couldn’t stop listening, was laugh out loud funny on many occasions.
All brought to life by the brilliant narration. He definitely added so much to these characters he plays them perfectly.
When I got to the end, which I didn’t see coming I actually squealed out loud with disappointment, I had so many questions and I was so enthralled with Waldo’s journey.
I was straight onto audible looking for more books and thankfully it’s a series of 5.
I’m currently half way through book 2 which so far is even better than the first.
Brilliant series can’t rate them highly enough.
Thank you Waldo Rabbit for finding me when my life needed an injection of humour and fun :))

Genuinely hilarious
I enjoyed this book just fine, but it's the rest of the series that had me laughing hard. It's full of interesting ideas and I listened to them all back-to-back, desperate to find out what would happen next. The narrator also does a fantastic job, better than the ones doing lots of bestsellers.
Highly recommend!

Characters
Don’t usually go for this ‘American gothic’ stuff but, I really enjoyed this.
Looking forward to the rest of Master Rabbit’s quest

Waldo lot of brilliance (sorry).
First the bad.
Now the good. Everything! Truly loved this book. Laugh out loud funny at times. Truly engaging characters. Outstanding narration. Brilliant storyline. Already downloaded the next 2 in the series. Hopefully there is more but I only had 2 credits left.

Quite nice
Easy listen. Not to deep, but not shallow either. Something similar to legends & lattes but I actually like this one way more. Would not put it anywhere in line with Terry Pratchett however.

It’s laugh out loud funny
I was walking my dog around a park and I literally had to stop and sit on a bench for 5 minutes with the book on pause, and think was it worth putting it on again or wait till I got home, I put it back on and got some strange looks on route home brilliant start to finish.

Narrating speed?!
At the beginning, the narrator speeds up and down during different sections of the book, makes it hard to follow. Overall storyline doesn't capture my attention.

Great fantasy epic with very funny characters.
I love a good fantasy adventure yarn and this story is a great listen.
I also enjoy the anti hero vibes.
The performance is very well done too.
