I am spending a lot of time commuting to Boston to be with my Mom in the hospital and it makes the ride go by in a flash. Listening to the second book now and i am sure i will go back and listen to them again with my son who is 9. It is nice to find an enjoyable story with great characters. Only problem is i feel like i know them so well i am sure to miss them when the books done..you need to keep writing for us John. : ) and your reading voice is divine. ps...when is the movie?

I just finished the first book, and WOW. I love it, and can't wait to get to the other books. Like Melissa, I am actually from Scranton, PA as well and my jaw dropped actually when I found out that's the "real world" setting. I love a good yarn spun with humor, love, and some tragedy and this satisfies! I listen to podcasts at work, since I work all alone on third shifts and this made for some very enjoyable work hours. Also, as an aspiring writer myself, I hope one day that I can share one of my stories with an audience in this format, as I found it nearly as good as picking up a paperback and reading. Thanks so much, and I cannot wait to get to the other tales! What an amazing, amusing tale! I just finished the first book, and WOW. I love it, and can’t wait to get to the other books.

My son loves that the real world is set in Scranton, as we live in a suburb of Scranton ourselves. I personally got a kick out of the Knoebels reference, especially right now as we watch them clean up and rebuild from the damage of yet another massive flooding of their property. We enjoy your storytelling and are definitely looking forward to the next book. Just finished listening to book 2 with my husband and son.

The story is pretty simple, though not predictable. The ending actually took me by surprise. VERY FUNNY. This is modern high fantasy, appropriate for all ages but not dull for the older guys. The ending was a bit disappointing, but everything bad that happened in the 1st book is fixed in the first 10 minutes of the 2nd. Wow, 5 star book. The story is pretty simple, though not predictable.

In iTunes I can see 10 titles with Shadowmagic-0, 10 with Shadowmagic-1 etc. The final number is missing. It only took a few minutes to fix but it could confuse some people.

I just finished the second book and I can't wait for #3. Towards the end I did miss the humor the was present before, but the story line really wouldn't support any funny comments at that point. Age: I'm a 54 year old engineer in North Carolina, USA. I intend to have a couple of cocktails tonight and then I'm going to hug the wonderful old oak tree in the back yard just to see what happens!!! Keep up the good work!!
