REVIEWS
"...I’m writing this review mostly to comment on how amazing Jonathan Sleep is as a narrator / producer. Book eight was pretty impressive but good grief he’s just so good at this." - rsr666
"All I can say is "WOW!" ...Ok, maybe a little bit more than, "WOW!" As a player of Dungeons and Dragons for 38 years, I knew I was going to enjoy this book series, and it did not disappoint. What I didn't know is that the narrator would blow my mind. I've never heard a single book on audible with this kind of voice range. I thought there were multiple people narrating the book. I will definitely be looking for more books read by this man" - John C.
​
"...Jonathan Sleep knocks this one out of the park. I don't know how many takes he has to do to keep from laughing so hard." - ATarker
"...As ever Jonathan Sleep’s fantastic and ridiculous narration brings it all to ribald life. Can’t wait for the next Critical Failures book?" - S. Donnelly
​
​
"Funny and engaging. This was one of the best narrators I've heard. The cast of characters was constantly growing and each new character sounded distinct. In many cases, a character voice would change in some way and it was the narrator doing a voice doing a voice -- and he nailed it." - some person on the internet
