The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart by Jesse Bullington
2.0
12 disk set, I only listened to half - the first 5 and the last because I Had to see how they would end up after all of that. Might have been better as a physical book rather than an audio book, because I could then skim through the repetitive gore.
It didn't offend me; it just got tedious. Okay, here's another life threatening situation, I know they'll impossibly beat the evil demon, witch, etc - and the scene would go on and on and on - I guess it takes a lot of words to describe gore.
I have to give the brothers credit for having such unshakable faith in themselves, against all odds and opposition. That got me through two disks, just to see how they held up; but it was finally too much. When I woke up in the morning and Wasn't looking forward to hearing the next chapter when I got in the car....I knew it was time to move on.
I'm giving it two stars, ONLY because of the "Reader" (Christopher Lane). His voice was fascinating, as he moved from strange to stranger, with all the odd creatures and situations. His range is amazing, and is the only reason I got as far as 5 disks to start with.
