À propos de cet audio

"A captivating start to what promises to be an epic post-apocalyptic fable" (Kirkus), The Book of Koli is the unforgettable story of a young boy struggling to find his place in a world where nature itself has turned against humanity.

Everything that lives hates us....

Beyond the walls of the small village of Mythen Rood lies an unrecognizable landscape. A place where overgrown forests are filled with choker trees and deadly seeds that will kill you where you stand. And if they don't get you, one of the dangerous shunned men will.

Koli has lived in Mythen Rood his entire life. He believes the first rule of survival is that you don't venture too far beyond the walls.

He's wrong.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A thought-provoking and deeply engaging story...profoundly and doggedly humane." (C. A. Fletcher on The Book of Koli)

"[A] beautiful book. Gripping, engaging, and absolutely worth the time it takes to burrow yourself into its reality. I can't recommend it highly enough." (Seanan McGuire on The Book of Koli)

"The cadence and pacing of [Koli's] voice adds a depth and richness to the strange and malevolent world." (Booklist on The Book of Koli)

It was excellent. I found myself thinking about Koli during the day and the world that he lived in. Definitely can't wait to read the second one!

I loved this book. It’s an exploration of a dystopia but also an exploration of soul, connection, and knowing. Was a joy to listen to and flew by

This audiobook ticks all the boxes on my checklist:

- Clever, original premise
- Likeable and relatable characters
- Thoughtful character development
- Excellent use of voice (which is enhanced considerably by outstanding narration)
- Good plot/pacing/progression
- Lots of food for thought (social commentary and exploration of our relationships with nature, technology, and one another)
- Probably some other stuff I'm forgetting

I just finished my second listen (since books 2 and 3 hadn't yet been released when I listened for the first time and I needed/wanted a refresher), and I was no less impressed after listening to it over again. Just an all-around phenomenal audiobook. Can't wait to dive into the next two!

Absolutely Brilliant

First book I’ve listened to with his narration but I’m now on a hunt for more.
Great book which gives me Stephen King - Dark Tower vibes. Just bought the next one to listen to.

Theo Solomon is incredible!

it took 38 chapters for anything of substance to move the plot forward. Which is probably why I took such an intense dislike for Koli. Initially, I was waiting to see any character growth. It never happened, just the opposite. Koli got dumber as the story barely moved forward. The post apocalyptic setting and the side characters were more interesting than the main character. The only way I continue with this series is if the next book is free.

unlikeable and unsympathetic main character
