Great story! It hooked the kids from the get-go. The narration was clear and easy to follow. Excellent as a family geared storyline. Complaints: The introductions were long and excessively loud in comparison to the story content. The volume changes reminded me of blaring TV commercials. In some cases the story portion almost seemed to be shorter than the intro making the story feel choppy and not fully refined. Even the kids were somewhat put off by the short segments and long intros. I would recommend doubling the episode length by combining two or more episodes together. This would result in fewer episodes to download and a better flow to the story.By: Faux Wood
So glad I stumbled on this blog. I need a good distraction for a 10 hour drive. Love listening to adventure style plots. Thanks....DiBy: Skeet
This was a wonderfully composed narrative. It was short but left me with a nostalgic memory of the Goonies movies from my childhood. The narrator was excellent and kept the feel of a true pirate in his voice. Thanks for this short but satisfying peice of literature.
