'50sVille: Vol. 3

The Town You Will Absolutely Love, or Else...

By: Paul Ibbetson

Narrated by: Lucas Schuneman

Welcome to '50sVille: The town you will absolutely love, or else… Imagine a town where the people perpetually live in the 1950s, a place where time has all but stopped and where everyone loves his family, job, and life. In this strange place, only a select few people ever leave the city limits and even then, they leave reluctantly. This is what fifteen and a half year old Benjamin Granault faces as, through a string of amazing events, he finds himself living in a town where he can never talk about modern technology or current events, a place where being an outsider can cost a person his life and being part of the community may very well cost more. Follow the adventures of Benjamin Granault in '50sVille, the strangest town Indiana has ever been unaware of.

Creepy good!!

I’m in love with this creepy story!!! I own the ebooks too. Yep, that’s how much I love them.
Great second part in the creepy series. I love this creeptastic series. Reminds me of a good Twilight Zone story.
Imagine there was a town, hidden from the world that is stuck in the 50’s? But it isn’t a kind, loving town.
That’s all I’m giving you. Buy the series!!!
The narrator draws you into the series. Onward to next!!

Volume three

Volume three. It has kept my interest and I'm still excited for the next installment. That is a rare feat. Congrats Dr. Paul A Ibbetson for keeping my interest and providing a new awesome series that I actually look forward to listening to.

I received this audiobook from the author/publisher/narrator in exchange for an honest review via Audiobook Boom.

The plot thickens

I've listen to all 5 books in the serie in sequence. They are not that long and the story is pretty much continuous so I recommend to read it/listen all 5 books too. You will not want to stop in the middle.
I will review all 5 books and give stars individual for each.
The story is about a boy that every year goes to an event in a town that is stuck in the 50's. In the first book we get to meet this town and some of it's inhabitants. But then his father dies and the plot begins. For his own protection he has to hide in the town and live there under their rules (book 2). Those first 2 books were my favorite. As well as the narrators. The story reminded me of "The Stepford Wives" but in different way. The group of kids also reminded me a lot of Steven Spielberg films.
After that the story turns into a darker tale, when we discover the mystery behind the town. I think of it like a Edgar Allan Poe tale. I love them, the dark, the mystery, the danger, the thrill, the supernatural flare. The thing is they always seem to never go too deep, being just a tale. In here we still get a lot of complexity, and cool characters, but for me it never really suppresses the expectations created on the first 2 books. Still worth reading to discover the full mystery and the final chapter.
It was a petty that there is a new narrator for every book. I would have preferred consistency, being a small length novela. All narrators are pretty good, but totally different from each other.

Secrets

ok, so this town needs help actually most of them should be in a mental ward! however I really like the series its different some of the characters are half way likeable lol. can't wait for more. I received this aduiobook and voluntarily choose to reveiw

High intensity

Ben is getting closer to the truth about the Source but he is getting too close for his own good. Things are hearing up to a boiling point and the the truth is coming. I received this audio book at my request and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review. I can't wait for the next volume this is getting good.
