Review: The Unhappy Medium by T.J. Brown, read by Marston York
The Unhappy Medium is the first novel in a new series by British writer T.J. Brown, with two more books planned to be available later this year.
Although released in audiobook format almost 6 years after its original publication date, I think the wait was worth it as The Unhappy Medium is a great paranormal comedy, beautifully written, filled with hilarious events and unforgettable characters.
Author T.J. Brown pulls us into this interesting story with his compelling writing style, reminiscent of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Those in search for an immersive narrative experience should look no further than the adventures of the eccentric Dr Newton Barlow and his friends.
The story starts with some necessary introductions for the main characters and locations, then it picks up speed and quickly evolves into a battle between Good and Evil. In the end, you’ll be laughing out loud because there are some truly gut-busters throughout the almost 16 hours long audio production.
Actor and narrator Marston York delivers a strong performance by bringing all the characters to life with crazy, hilariously amusing voices and accents. His narration style, coupled with the author’s brilliant writing makes The Unhappy Medium a treat for all ears!
I also post reviews or articles at the author, narrator, or publisher’s request, so, if you are in need of assistance in finding the perfect narrator for your book or just want to have a review on my blog, do get in touch.
