Members Reviews:
Excellent book, awful narration
If you could sum up Battle of the Ampere in three words, what would they be?
Great Vey book
What did you like best about this story?
The morals within the story
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Why was a new narrator used for this book? The new narrator was such a disappointment - while he used nice foreign accents, there was little distinction among the main characters.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, several times.
Incredible book
What did you love best about Battle of the Ampere?
The series builds upon each other with just the right amount of suspense & adventure for a family to enjoy together. This (series) should be made into a movie.
What did you like best about this story?
The ending- the electro-clan is back together and going off to a new adventure!
What aspect of Kirby Heybornes performance would you have changed?
This narrator did not have the range as the previous narrator for the other 2 books- made it really hard to adjust to especially at first when you are "used to" other voices.
Disappointed in the Narrator
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
When a series has a good narrator, it is just not wise to change. The narrator for the first two books was just GREAT. I felt he was Michael Vey, his voice was just perfect, he struck the right noteyouth coming of age. Very, very, very disappointed in the new narrator. While he has good alternate voices, his main delivery is flat and uninteresting. The book is worth reading, but the narration rather spoiled it for me.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Michael Vey, because he is has a good character.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kirby Heyborne?
The first narrator who read books one and two.
Not my Favorite of the Series
Would you try another book from Richard Paul Evans and/or Kirby Heyborne?
Yes to both but not in this series if I can help it.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Hmm...I had a hard time following along due to the narrator change. I felt like this book fell flat for me.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kirby Heyborne?
The original narrator, Fred Berman. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Kirby Heyborne as an actor & narrator for Orson Scott Card's Pathfinder series, but in this situation it was almost setting him up for failure. How could he possibly make it work? He does honorably with the accents & what not but I have fallen in love with the way Fred Berman portrayed all of the characters. I miss them all...especially Austin! Bones!
Do you think Battle of the Ampere needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
It will have one. I felt like there were a lot of unanswered story lines that just sort of popped up and faded out without resolution. Like the Zeus/Tessa story...why did he stop talking to her?...or where the other Electric children went during the end, etc.
