The Punch Escrow by Tal M. Klein
5.0
There is nothing bad that I can say about this book. If I can give one piece of advice it is to try something out of your comfort zone - you just might get a pleasant surprise. I certainly got that here.
It's a book that brought back memories of childhood. It's a book that makes you think about what is possible. It's a book that makes you wonder what our future may hold. I'm all about the romance but I don't miss that here. I loved it from beginning to end. Mr. Mercer was the perfect choice for the voice actor.
Mr Mercer is multi talented. He does a great job of bringing all the characters to life. He changes the tone and timbre of his voice in order to create some of the people in this story. He even does a pretty good job with female voices - does enough that you can picture a woman performing in this story. And he even sings. He's an all around actor performing a one man play. One sad note was this is the only book that I found he has narrated so one can always hope. My only disappointment is that there is no visual - I bet it would have been amazing.
Mr. Klein was also a pleasant surprise. I took the chance and got out of my comfort zone and was completely blown away. His story took me back to shows that I watched while growing up. He reminded me how simple they were compared to the shows and movies that get created now. The technology is so much more advanced. It's that technology in his story that has me wondering what our future truly holds. Current events bleed into the story because of the villain in the piece. His mindset could be of any of those whose mind becomes a little skewed. I could not find any more books and that was a disappointment because he makes it a pleasure to go outside what I'm usually comfortable with.
These two men are the perfect couple. Mr. Klein has words that just sing and makes each scene flow. Than you have a very versatile narrator in Mr. Mercer. And if you listen through the whole book, he'll actually sing to you. In searching about these two gentlemen imagine my surprise when Mr. Klein notes on his Facebook page that it may be adapted to the screen. And that please me very much. It's just another way to bring his words to life. But after hearing our narrator sing a certain 80's song, I can't picture anyone else doing that once I can actually see "The Punch Escrow". It will be interesting to see if this author creates a followup.
I have to say thank you to these two gentlemen for a very pleasurable experience.
