Like, NEEDED,” writes one reviewer who listened to this with her husband.
“We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve needed to know what happens next. Red Rising is the first book of a trilogy - the other two are also available as audiobooks - and many listeners say if you liked Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, or The Hunger Games, chances are you’ll like this series as well. “When you put it down, you want to turn to someone, take their shoulders and shake them, and say, ‘You have to read this. The voices and emphasis make you feel as if the characters are performing for you.” Another reviewer calls this reading “one of the smoothest I’ve ever heard,” because of how easy the plot is to understand via audiobook. As one teacher explains, “I’ve used other audios with my students, but nothing has grabbed them like this version. “Tim Robbins certainly made the most of Ray Bradbury’s very vigorous and to the point style of writing in certain parts of the book, to such an extent that I felt as if I was running with Guy Montag and experiencing his fear, pounding heart, and uncertainty,” writes one reviewer.” Robbins’s narration is so compelling it even captivates otherwise antsy teens. Though this book by Ray Bradbury is a science-fiction classic (especially in high-school English classes), listeners say the story is much more interesting thanks to the narration by actor Tim Robbins. It is truly unputdownable, and I truly felt the stakes along with the characters.” “This book truly flipped all the nerdy happy switches in my brain. When switching between the Kindle and Audible editions, I found myself reading the story in Wil’s voice and loving every second of it.” And several point out that it’s a fun casting, because Wheaton “even gets to name-check himself in the book, which is hilarious.” But even without the celebrity narration, this audiobook is well worth the listen because of the plot.
One reviewer even says they prefer the audio version to the book because of Wheaton’s narration: “His mannerisms and use of inflection are outstanding and helped build a compelling world that sucked me in. The huge mix of material has been put together so well,” says another recent listener. “This book is rich with settings that span time, space, games, movies, memories, and places. “I mean what ’80s baby wouldn’t appreciate an audiobook narrated by Wil Wheaton loaded with ’80s pop-culture references to boot?” asks one. Nearly 300 five-star reviewers think Wheaton is also the right narrator for Ready Player One.
