Members Reviews:
As kids books go - this a very good story
My wife and I like a good adolescent story now and then; they usually have good moral values and an entertaining story line. This story is no exception. It's gratifying to hear a story that builds character and leads you to the moral high ground. And it's especially gratifying to know that kids could pick up these values from a good story! Good job Mr. Cooper! Please continue!
A wonderful book for adults too
What did you like best about this story?
Awakening (Chronicles of Benjamin Dragon, #1) by C.G. Cooper is an exciting middle age kids book. I am certainly far from being a middle age kid but I thoroughly enjoyed it. A kid with that is mentally gifted and has another special gift. Bullies, but one of those is resolved in an unusual way. Suspense, fun, a camp, strange people with strange gifts too, and great fantasy. It was a fun read that didn't speak down to the reader. Great read.
Great Story. Awkward Narration.
This book is well worth the listen. It takes it's time setting up the world and gradually introduces you to the powers that Benjamin is developing. You discover along side the character. The narration wasn't awful, but I felt at many times that the reading of certain lines just left the moment awkward when it wasn't necessary.
A great book to READ
This book was quite enjoyable but the narration was very weird. Ike he word pause where there was no pause needed ,and his tone of voice made it hard sometimes to understand what he really meant in that moment.
great kids story, poor performance.
I almost stopped listening in the first chapter due to poor narration. but the story seemed to be interesting enough that I finished the book. my kids will enjoy this series.
The narrator needs to learn where to take breaths. His poor narration grayed on me throughout the book. things like:
It........... was his turn to play.
or
He........... hadn't done that...... in years.
He kept adding long pauses where they should not have been. Sometimes it confused me what was being said until the pause ended and the rest of the sentence was read.
And he would emphasize words that almost changed the meaning. There were times he sounded like he was asking a question when it was not.
His voice is pleasant enough, but he really needs to read like people talk and remove the incorrect pauses.
