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.

Great story marred by recording gaps
Would you listen to Alien: Covenant again? Why?
I've already listened to this story twice to make sure the audio gaps was not my imagination. It wasn't.
Any additional comments?
Shame on the producer for not hearing the errors before this went live.

Not as great as I hoped
I've seen the movie and usually read the novels of movies I've seen to find out what changes were made or cut that could of made the story slightly different. In a way this novel plays out a lot like the movie and I'm not even completely done yet. There are lots of added dialogue and scenes that would of made the characters more enjoyable and not wasted like the film variant.
However the performance was rather dull almost flat. This would of helped with music or some sound effects to really feel like you're in a sci-fi horror genre but alas nothing.
Really disappointed since I can finish these in a day or two but this book has taken me now a week to listen and hard to finish.

Thankfully Better Than Movie
Other then that I simply can't say much. I'm a huge Alien fan so of course I was going to get this and I love Alan Dean Foster as well. Who by the way did a fantastic job flushing out the utter mess, confusion, and carnage Sir Ridley Scott's made of the very franchise he himself had a major role in creating! Low rating on story is due to Scott alone and reflects nothing whatsoever on Mr. Foster by the way. He could only write what was given to him to write. Thankfully he added a few things here that certainly helped flesh out the story and at least make it palatable! Certainly entertaining enough to listen to, to get one down the road, through a flight, or just as a proverbial bedtime story type of listen. Lady Anne ^^ö^^

One word... brutal!
This part of the series seems to be that way. Narration was superlative and flawless.

Great story with an odd performance
The story is great, along with the movie. However; the narrators woman/screaming voice sometimes made this a comedic listen for a horror story.

D. Foster, you can do better.
Story could 've been better. Prometheus storyline and Engineers should've been more prominent. Still, it is the Alien universe.

Yawn
If you've read or seen Prometheus save your money. Redundant themes from previous screen plays.

Very enjoyable!
This was my first audiobook to try out and definitely was a great choice. As I listened I was drawn into the story, it was very great. The alien franchise is a big favorite of mine so I enjoyed this a lot👍

Nothing special
As far as I can tell there is nothing here that wasn't in the movie. No extra exploration of the philosophical themes. No extra information on "the engineers". No extra character development.
Main character is still paper thin. The story reads more like a screenplay than a novel. Movie spesific lines like "I'm out of ammo!" meant to clue in a watching audience are still very prevalent.
Adiquate performance by the narrator, but nothing special. Some good male accents, but female shout (of which there is a lot of) is annoyingly bad.
Not worth it in my opinion. Watch the movie instead.

Like if the movie was right, but no more
It's like listening to a screen play of the movie, if they fixed all the inconsistencies of the movie. I don't feel the need to invest more time in the books because I don't think I will learn anything new or more.
