BY MATT JAMES
NARRATED BY MICHAEL LESLEY
THE DETAILS✎
❐ PREHISTORIC BEASTS OF THE DINOSAUR VARIETY❐ JULES VERNE MEETS MICHAEL CRICHTON❐ THERE'S EVEN A SHOUT-OUT TO DR. GRANT & JURASSIC PARK❐ TINY SPLASH OF ROMANCE OR SOMETHING LIKE IT❐ LENGTH OF AUDIO ➯ 8 HOURS, 11 MINUTES❐ I LISTENED ON HOOPLA THROUGH MY LIBRARY
Dark Island is like Jurassic Park meets Journey to the Center of the Earth, and it is one heck of a ride. I was thoroughly entertained for the most part...but there were times where it lost me a little bit and others where I thought things were a little hokey...but overall, this was better than I thought it was going to be.
At times I thought the narration was freaking awesome and others where he, Michael Lesley, fell a little short...like he was good...just not consistently good. Although, I wouldn't hesitate to listen to a book narrated by him in the future. My biggest issue with the narration overall is one that I always harp on...the lack of a second/female narrator for Mack's POV.
