ParaNorm was Fantastic

I was reviewing to find books from nephews who both got an e-book reader.  I enjoyed reading and the characters.  Makes me want to see the movie now!  I am sure both nephews will love it!

The Elder Ice was great fun. The hero was believable and just plain fun. Harry Stubbs is someone I could easily see my self cheering for ringside or with Lovecraftian horrors in the room.
I especially loved the connections between Lovecraft's tales and historical myths. So much fun.

Okay, I have to admit I found myself laughing out loud several times during this audio book. The characters are so fun to listen to as they banter, joke, cry, etc. Paraworld Zero takes you through many emotions and leaves you feeling well entertained. There are some deeper parts dealing with slavery and self-esteem issues, but in general the book doesn't take itself too seriously. The narration and pacing was spot on. There's a female and a male narrator, by the way, which I like, since a male trying to do female voices often sounds strange to me. I was impressed with the narrators' ability to change their voices so dramatically. This is a kid's fantasy, mind you, so many of the voices are somewhat cartoonish, but don't let that stop you from listening if you're an adult. There's a whole storyline with adult characters interwoven within the plot, and this really did keep my interest. I'd like to see more of these older characters in future installments. Since there are multiple storylines going on, the book keeps you on your toes, especially the climax, which brought everything together superbly. I'm not usually one to be surprised at the end of a mystery, but this one threw me for a loop. I can't wait for the next book.

I don't suggest reading this when you have even the slightest feeling of illness!  It was so good!  For a while, I forgot that I was listening to an audio book and felt more like I was watching a movie. The action was incredible, and the characters were easy to picture.  I really liked this, and want to read more from this author.  If you like post apocalyptic or medical thrillers at all, I highly suggest this one.

I enjoyed the narration, she had a pleasant voice and spoke at a nice pace, though on occasion some of the pauses hit my ear wrong, though this was likely a problem on me rather than the reading.

It's difficult to summarize or even explain why this book is so great, so I'm not going to go into painstaking detail, but instead just gush.

I expected very little from a book that I've heard people say is fantastic, but the cover and premise sounds hilarious and ridiculous, like a lot of dime store scifi novels that you see laying around. The reality here is that Dan Simmons is a truly fantastic writer who made something very special in Hyperion.

It has a lot of stuff that will appeal to hardcore scifi fans while making sure to have the story remain human enough to appeal to a broader audience. The Shrike is a fantastic take on the unrelenting evil, remaining mysterious throughout the tales we hear.

This is a fun song, heard it in the end credits for Paranorman and really wanted to have it on my iPod.

I loved it!!! Enjoyed the language, the texture of the people and their surroundings. I simply loved it. Sequel would be great maybe with them having a family.

I loved this book. The story was really fantastic and lots of fun.

The characters were simply amazing. When dealing with alien characters it can be difficult to make them relatable and still maintain their alien characteristics. Mr. Cleveland has done a remarkable job of creating alien characters that are believable, and downright scary at times (giant spider-like aliens, good lord!) who also have very humane qualities that make you either love, hate or feel some type of emotion for them.

This is a young adult novel, yet it really doesn't read as one. I'd safety call it an adult novel other than the fact the man character is a teenager. The language is certainly adult level reading and there was nothing in it that made me feel like I was reading one of my kids' books. They would certainly enjoy it as much as I did, but I feel it's definitely appropriate for either audience.

The book is very well edited and I only found two minor things that needed to be fixed. I was impressed.

The book stands alone and doesn't leave off on a cliffhanger. I am always glad when an author doesn't leave me hanging. I will definitely be looking at other works by Mr. Cleveland.

about 10 or so I saw some game play of this and I was enthralled, it looked really good, the way another character or bot dies and screams in agony sounds so gruesomely good.

I was excited to get it and was even more excited when it arrived. The story is obviously great and I loved the Free Four story. The other extras were awesome also, I greatly enjoyed the entire book as a whole.

Word of warning: when I got it I read Free Four first and there's not exactly spoilers in it, however it does hint at things, so I would suggest reading it afterwards.

If you like the para-normal this is a great series for you.  I really did enjoy it - and had to find the other 2 in the series to continue on in the "saga"  I think it is just fine for all ... young adults/pre-adults will enjoy this as well.

It was scary and exciting. It was also full of hope, love and determination. I loved the paranormal/sci-fi aspect of it and I loved the incredible roller coaster thrill ride the heroine went on to get the happy ending. Definite thumbs up on the enjoyment.

I really enjoyed this one. The characters were more three dimensional. I really liked Bronwyn, Anna, and Jac. I adored Daniel/ Preacher, and the rest of the crew. This was a great story! I just loved it. Starting the next one now. I'm addicted in a good way!

I withheld a star because I kept getting lost going HERE. But the narrative is great, well written and very engaging.  NPHarris is much more than my simple words can describe. Talented, so very talented. Bright, articulate and charismatic. The only performer I would compare him to is the late Sammy Davis Jr.  Quite a bit of the story content is about his sexuality and gender choices, which some might find interesting.  We know he's gay, big deal. I really liked his stories about his theater, movie and television experiences. Loved reading about his family life, especially about the twins and David. Wow, David! NPH really does have it all!

Hello! I just thought I would share with you my great experience with Parasom. I bought these headphones for myself as an early Xmas present. The sound quality is terrific, it was easy to connect to my phone, and they fit comfortably. But what has really impressed me the most is their customer service. I accidently broke one of my ear buds, and my window to return it was long overdue. But I emailed customer service (as a long shot not expecting anything) and within 3 hours they responded to my email saying they will be shipping a replacement today. I was stunned! You do not see that kind of customer care these days. I will be a Parasom customer for life! Thank you again!
