Cyclops Road by Jeff Strand

5.0

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this unbiased, voluntary review.

I listened to the audiobook by Joe Hempel.

This book was AMAZING! There is no other way to put it. The title and summary had me worried for an average or less than average story that I wouldn’t enjoy. But, I was surprised by the quality of this story.

I usually avoid comedy books because they often aren’t great at timing. But this story got it just right. Many times I was laughing unbearably.

The fantasy aspect was okay, but some of the mystery left a desire for more.

Joe Hempel has real talent. He portrays Evan as “the average joe” while still giving feeling. The different characters have distinct voices and are easily recognized. It was a masterful performance that I am happy I heard.

If I could I would rate it higher, I would. It’s now one of my new favorites for sure.
