A review by janine1122
Crap Kingdom by D.C. Pierson
3.0
when I first started this audiobook, I wasn't too sure of it. the narration was awesome, but I didn't know if I liked the writing itself.
as the story moved along, however, I found myself really enjoying it. I loved the way the story took the fantasy tropes of "the chosen one" and the Magical Kingdom and kind of turned them on their heads. I also really appreciated that Tom, the main character, was really just pretty average. he didn't have a terrible life, and he wasn't Mr. Popular. I liked his inexperience and naiveté. it felt honest to me. I also really appreciated that Tom never TRIED to be someone or something that he wasn't, the way so many teenage protagonists seem to.
Anyway, despite my reluctance early on, I really grew to enjoy the story and like Tom and his adventures. I also enjoyed that the author/narrator sounded an awful lot like Nathan Filion when he voiced the king of Crap Kingdom. that is never a bad thing :-)
