He has a rather macho tone with just a bit of immaturity, and again, the term “epic” comes to mind to describe his style. This is the first time I heard him read, and his style is perfect for Monster Hunter International. It's like 1 part monsterish gore, 1 part comedy, and 1 part all sorts of artillery. This book is cliché in the best way possible. Or worse yet, when Julie reads his file and we find out Owen’s a marksman/genius. Like when a master vampire tells Owen he has the strongest will of any mortal she’s ever met, or when one guys says to the other that he shouldn’t mess with Owen because he has “one hundred pounds of muscle” on him. Pitt, who’s inherently epic, but it’s hard to let the listener know how epic Owen is through first-person narration without it sounding over-the-top or silly. The main villain, the “Cursed One,” is not just a mwahaha villain – we also get inside his head through his memories in Owen’s ghost-guided dream/nightmares that recall C.O.’s journey from a “mean son-of-a-bitch” conquistador to one very megalomaniacal, unearthly, tentacled, flesh-wriggling being who is intent of stopping time itself. This audiobook has monsters of impossible, mind-bending proportions. Killin’s my business and business is fine
#Monster hunter international audiobook series
This series provides me that pleasure and therefore adds something to the world. This is not a masterpiece for sure but I sometimes want something entertaining that I can relax with. Added bonus - great voice acting by Oliver Wyman. Good jokes, some I have heard before but the context makes them better. Many different locations and a story that is not boring one bit from start to finish. And yet we also see clear writing without straining the language and without taking the reader for a fool.
#Monster hunter international audiobook movie
Anti-goverment remarks at every chapter (can't wait for a movie to play the drinking game). Endless beating of main character throughout the book (if you don't like him I would say this is a big plus). For those that have seen The Blob or any of the Evil Dead movies this is the feeling you get out of this. The reasons are clear to me and they boil down to this: A cult classic B-rated movie. There is a lot worse out there and this book is actually an oasis among them. However, if you, like me, were looking for something in the science fiction genre and was surprised to find this so highly rated and furthermore having great reviews by most that read it then I will answer the other question: How can it be? How can it be that a book that talks about vampires, guns and gore is so highly regarded? How can it be that a book that has a story out of every other book in this genre is so entertaining? How can people like such literature? Let me tell you something. then the title alone was sufficient to suck you in.
Let's face it, if you like werewolfs, zombies, vampires etc. Why should I buy this book? A valid question I had to ask myself when I was reading the description. With the clock ticking towards Armageddon, Owen finds himself trapped between legions of undead minions, belligerent federal agents, a cryptic ghost who has taken up residence inside his head, and the cursed family of the woman he loves. Should the Cursed One succeed, it means the end of the world, and MHI is the only thing standing in his way.
An ancient entity known as the Cursed One has returned to settle a centuries-old vendetta. It's actually a pretty sweet gig, except for one little problem.
Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. On the other side are the people who kill monsters for a living. Officially secret, some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows.
Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a 14th story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer.
