Utter Rubbish

Not worth spending much time writing a detailed review or else I lose even more of my life. It was dire and so much so I could not get near the end. Tried hard but the trivial being presented as the spectacular was just to much

I would not listen to rest even if I was in solitary confinement for the rest of my life

Cool

Brilliant book and a great narrator. Thoroughly recommend this to tweens, teens and adults.
As an adult listening to this I can say I have very much enjoyed the ease of this story. That is not to say that there weren't a few surprises in the book. This series is defiantly worth getting.

Fantastic Boys Action Literature

Would you listen to Escape Velocity again? Why?

Absolutely, this is the best one of the series. The author has really got into his stride.

What other book might you compare Escape Velocity to, and why?

We have also enjoyed the Artemis Fowl series and although not as witty, this is similarly great action.

Which character – as performed by Jack Davenport – was your favourite?

Tricky one, Hive Mind is excellent and Jack's 'Wing' is much better than the next reader's.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Great movement all the way to the action climax

Great fun

Thoroughly enjoyable romp in a fantastic context - escapism at its best - with humour too. Recommended.

Escape velocity

This book in my opinion is possibly the best book in the series Aldo with this book series you would have to read it in order in order to understand what happened I also like the different personalities and the ever action-packed story along with a brilliant narrator that adds personality to this book in my opinion this is a book that you could read over and over again
