Fantastic story - too much audio drama

If you could sum up Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo in three words, what would they be?

Boy finds purpose

Who was your favorite character and why?

Geth because he never lets bad events get him down.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator could have less vocal suspension. I was troubled by the tone. That being said, we all loved the voice of Clover - it seemed appropriate.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Good verses evil..in your dreams!

Really good

Really good. Wish I had money to by the next book. oh well guess I will buy with my next token.

Good but forgot a detail

In the story leven struck two bully’s by lightning but then forgot about it when they found out about him seeing the future and changing it.

overall pretty good, but

The first half of the story is very very slow, also thr story as a whole is a little repetitive. I feel like the writer could have made the story 2 an a half hours shorter and it would have been a better experience. That said the short comings are out done by the good. The story is overall good and entertaining. The concept is interesting. Characters are fun, and consistent. The performance was great, EB Stevens never disappoints.
