Paul Blay (0 KP) rated Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in Video Games

Feb 19, 2018

The graphics are superb. The audio is excellent. The track selection has lots of variety. (0 more)

Classic characters were unfortunately left off the roster. Mario Kart Wii had a better selection of vehicles. There’s been a definite lack of updates. (0 more)

So close to perfect!

The lack of DLC keeps this from being rated as Epic. There is no reason why it’s taking so long to get additional vehicles (Dolphin Dasher), characters (Birdo), box items (Mega Mushroom) and additional courses.

This was a good YA fantasy, especially for younger teens. There's no bad language or sex, and the teens acted very much like teens. A sweet love story, a bit of mystery, and another world all combine to make this a fun listen!

Angel Clark did a great job with the female teens voices, inflections and all.

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of the audio edition from the author in exchange for my honest review.

I was experimenting with listening to audio books during my commute when I "read" this book. While the format was a little disorienting for me, I absolutely loved the story, enough so that at some point I'd really like to go back and read it "for real."

I will say that Gaiman is a beautiful reader, and I'm glad I listened to the story purely from the perspective of getting to hear him read his own work.

Micky Barnard (542 KP) rated Catwoman: Soulstealer - DC Icons Book 3 in Books

Unexpectedly good

I listened on audio and there was great narration from Julia Whelan.

This was a unique story line told from the supposed evil protagonist point of view with an alternative Batwing POV. Selena was interesting in her evil and heartfelt personas and I enjoyed being drawn into this world. The characters of Batwing, Poison Ivy and Harlequin were all intriguing and enjoyable.

Highly recommend and you don't need prior knowledge of the other books or Catwoman.

Sad to be at the end

I have been fully invested in this series, even though it started with the most heart breaking of books. Many thought book two was unnecessary but I didn’t. STILL ME made me laugh, smile, bitch, sigh and scream and I loved each audio minute. I’m so glad I walked with Louisa to the end.

The narration was perfect and Louisa’s character was captured beautifully. Other accents and characters were also well portrayed.
