Paradox Moon: The Book of Regenesis

Review by W. D. Douglass

Clinical Traveler’s Guide!

As a representative of AudioBookReviewer.com here is a review on Paradox Moon: The First Book of Regenesname written by D. Scott Dickinson. A clinical traveler’s guide to an alien moon. Through the author’s use of variously varied vocabulary the planet’s environment, plants, and fauns were well described and imaginative. 

Unfortunately, this tale was lacking in any character development and plot. Huge chunks of this book were repetitive and superfluous. The protagonist and other characters felt very two dimensional. Their motivations and actions had no real substance for the majority of the book. Even though the book is full of interior monologues the protagonist's name wasn't even used until near the end of the book. On the occasions when the protagonists expressed any emotion, it felt shoehorned in. There was no overarching conflict established until the afterword. Overall I had no reason to care about the characters of the story.

The narration was performed by Zacharia Greene. Given the dryness of this tale, there wasn't much for this narrator to work with. His tone was melodic and lacked any depth to hook the listener.

Editing, quality, and production fell short with most books I have listened to.  The narrator sounded like he was talking into a tin can. Also, post-production editing was very obvious.
