About this listen
Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians is the first adventure in a fantasy series for all ages by the number one New York Times best-selling author Brandon Sanderson.
On his 13th birthday, foster child Alcatraz Smedry gets a bag of sand in the mail - his only inheritance from his father and mother. He soon learns that this is no ordinary bag of sand. It is quickly stolen by the cult of evil Librarians who are taking over the world by spreading misinformation and suppressing truth. Alcatraz must stop them, using the only weapon he has: an incredible talent for breaking things.
Performed by Alejandro Ruiz, Chris Genebach, Carolyn Kashner, Zeke Alton, Marni Penning, Bradley Smith, Richard Rohan, Peter Holdway, David Jourdan, Colleen Delany, James Lewis, Michael John Casey, Scott McCormick, Chris Stinson, Ken Jackson, Sasha Olinick, Terence Aselford.

very enjoyable! loved the pacing between action and emotion and the fun/silly interludes (which often make commentary on this very thing)
Entertaining characters and a world that seems totally absurd, but held together by (admittedly unique) logic

Not my thing.
I love Sandersons other books, and figured I'd like the Alcatraz books too, even though I'm aware they're made for younger listeners and children. And I did, the story is still entertaining and the writing is good.
What I didn't like however was the dramatisation. The main narrator doing Alcatraz is excellent, and I would have preferred if he simply read the entire thing. Having other people read the lines of other characters would be alright as well, but the sound effects are only annoying, and the music is often too loud and simply take from the experience instead of adding to it.
I wish the books were available in normal audiobook format, in that case I wouldn't hesitate to get the rest. As is, I *might* get the others, but then it's in spite of the fact only dramatised adaptations are available on Audible, certainly not because of it.

Made a long car journey fly past
A refreshing and engaging style. Had a 50, 36, 11 and 7 year old engaged and excited to hear the whole boom in one go. Book 2 already downloaded

very enjoyable, listened with the children
Me and the children loved its cheeky narration style.
We will be getting the other books as a consequence.
Thankyou Mr Sanderson.
