Poor voice performance

It seems to be a recurring issue but male narrators struggle with female voices and resort to stereotypical high pitched girly voices. please start casting male and female narrators, I cringed every time he spoke in a female characters voice, especially when conveying a shout or similar vocal action.

Better than the movie

I watched both the movie and heard this book and, having enjoyed both, found that the audiobook was better than the movie.

Lovey story, issues with narrator

The story is the same as the movie but some details help flesh it out a bit.

The reader is fine for general narration and male characters and even the female characters are fine until he has a situation where they're in distress, need to yell, or even raise their voice. At that point it's jarring how badly he handles those and it tears you out of the experience.

Worth the listen, just be mindful of that tripping point.

Great story and even better narration

The story is really good, but the narrator somehow managed to make the characters’ voices come alive in a good way

Boring

Origins was slow but okay. This was just boring. I couldn't finish it. Too predictable.

Tom Taylorson

Everything is great until Tom has to do some distressed female dialogue. Here he sounds awkward and borderline awful, no offense to him! The narrator actually has a great voice most of the time and does a great job overall with the performance. Aside from this one distracting aspect this is a great listen! Just like the movie but novelized.

I give the book 10/10

The book was amazing, it was like watching the movie in HD. The narrator had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, I loved it

Pretty good

Very well read, decent story. Slightly different ending from the movie? It's been a while. Good nonetheless

It’s Alien

I enjoyed the movie and I enjoyed the Novel. I hope we get the third story.
