My Review

 

The Case of the Cursed Dodo is a family audio drama filled with funny entertaining characters. It played out like a cartoon with saturated with a  humorous tone. I honestly wish they would make more family audiobooks like this one. My kids enjoyed it!

• Narrator-Story Connection: 8/10

The main narrator had a great voice that anchors the story and kept me engaged.

 

• Voice Quality: 10/10

All the narrators had great voices for their characters, and I found them all profoundly entertaining. Definitely sounded like a cartoon! My kids enjoyed it too.

 

• Pacing 7/10

The pacing was a bit too fast for me, especially with the all the sound effects. All of the sound effects, different narrators made it a bit busy and harder to focus.

 

• Emphasis 8/10

Wonderful. The narrators were skilled at portraying their characters with creative, funny personalities.

 

• Sound Quality: 8/10

Publisher:  Woolly Family Studios. A very professional audio production with great sound quality, sound effects, and direction.

 

• Overall Performance: 7/10

This was a wildly entertaining audiobook that has much potential. It literally sounded like a professional cartoon! I thought they overdid it in some areas that detracted from the overall score. However, my kids and I still enjoyed it.
