Colorado, 1981. There is no way in the world I would ever sayĭon't be turned off by my review read the book for yourself because as I mentioned there could be a number of reasons for feeling the way I did about the book, it could be as simple as my mood on the day. Of course I would see the movie if this book was turned into a DW movie, things change when you start casting actor's, actress's in the roles and you identify with them and of course you hopefully have your regular beloved cast members of DW. ![]() If this book were a movie would you go see it? It is very rare that I have not really loved a DW audio book. Nicholas Briggs was a good narrator and it was through no fault of his that the story did not really engage me. What does Nicholas Briggs bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? It is kind of how one feels toward the scientist's that discovered the atom bomb.

Even though you know the characters are going to make it out, there were at least two. ![]() For me, it was like getting an extra episode of the T.V. ![]() I may have been a bit predisposed to like this, but I still was amazed at what a find this particular story is. I especially enjoy the narrator, Nicholas Briggs, as producer of a whole line of audio adventures made and distributed by Big Finish Productions.
