Escape from Samsara: A Dark Comedy Fantasy Adventure

Prophecy Allocation, Book 1

By: Nicky Blue

Narrated by: David Morley Hale

A comedy about a time-travelling gardener, guaranteed to make you wet your plants!

Barry's been patient, but after 27 years of trimming hedges for people he hates, he's had enough. All he wants to do is to find his missing father and to discover his inner ninja. But life’s not done with throwing him curveballs. A fatal mistake catapults Barry into the adventure of a lifetime.

With talking hedges, samurai ghosts, meddling psychotherapists, and an inexplicably non-linear time pattern conspiring against him, Barry must do battle to save his hide, unleash the ninja within, and rescue his father from an ancient army, a dark sorcerer, and a raging inferno.

Perfect listening for fans of Tom Holt, Terry Pratchett, Robert Rankin, Christopher Moore, or Douglas Adams.

What is the mysterious Prophecy Allocation Department?

Where is The Before and After?

Even more importantly, Will Barry’s underwear hold out until he has saved the day?

I don't know what to say

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. I've never read anything quite like it.
A lot of poo jokes, time traveling Ninja's. Its interesting.

Very Imaginative

This a a quirky and hilarious book! I found myself laughing so much on Barry’s crazy adventure. Escape From Samsara is definitely the book to pick up if you don’t mind an extremely out of the ordinary and off the walls book. The author has an amazing imagination to write this book and I’m excited and scared at the same time to see what happens next!
David did a great job narrating this book. He brought all of the characters to life, especially Barry, with his accent and sense of humor. I don’t know if any other voice actor could pull off this book!
*I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A would be ninja with british accent

This is quite a surreal story, about a gardner, would be ninja, and his adventures.
The fun of the story is the british humor (sarcasm for some) and the british accent of the narrator telling us all about it. Hillarious!, in a very serious manner, of course! He (the narrator) makes a fantastic job (even if some words can be a bit difficult for non english listeners).
As for the story, though I like a bit of surreal, this one can be a bit of too lost sometimes (not exactly a bad thing, because it goes with the humor of it, but still...). In the end, even though this particular story fail to really grab my desire to read more of it (sorry), I still got the feeling the author is a good writer with the ability to express the kind of humor that goes in your head in secret.

Not for me

Not sure if it's the other world, dark comedy, fantasy, prophecy or all tossed together. I just wasn't able to get into this audible.

The narrator did a wonderful job.

I was provided a free copy, at my request, of this audible. This is my review.

Samsara

Hmmn..It is an absurd,sometimes fun,gross, and always weird story.David Morley Hales excellent narration is the best thing about it. It is very hard to rate. I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.
