Absolutely brilliant from start to finish!

I have to be honest this was an accidental find. It came up in my free offerings and I choose it randomly not expecting much, boy was I wrong!
The story is so well written.
I loved all the characters for different reasons, each one had a personality that drew me in.
The main character is obliviously funny in his odd ways and each acquaintance that joins him on his quest has an equally entertaining personality.
I was completely hooked, couldn’t stop listening, was laugh out loud funny on many occasions.
All brought to life by the brilliant narration. He definitely added so much to these characters he plays them perfectly.
When I got to the end, which I didn’t see coming I actually squealed out loud with disappointment, I had so many questions and I was so enthralled with Waldo’s journey.
I was straight onto audible looking for more books and thankfully it’s a series of 5.
I’m currently half way through book 2 which so far is even better than the first.
Brilliant series can’t rate them highly enough.
Thank you Waldo Rabbit for finding me when my life needed an injection of humour and fun :))

Waldo lot of brilliance (sorry).

First the bad.
Now the good. Everything! Truly loved this book. Laugh out loud funny at times. Truly engaging characters. Outstanding narration. Brilliant storyline. Already downloaded the next 2 in the series. Hopefully there is more but I only had 2 credits left.

Quite nice

Easy listen. Not to deep, but not shallow either. Something similar to legends & lattes but I actually like this one way more. Would not put it anywhere in line with Terry Pratchett however.

Genuinely hilarious

I enjoyed this book just fine, but it's the rest of the series that had me laughing hard. It's full of interesting ideas and I listened to them all back-to-back, desperate to find out what would happen next. The narrator also does a fantastic job, better than the ones doing lots of bestsellers.
Highly recommend!

Who Framed Waldo Rabbit?

Funniest thing since Pratchett as one Amazon reviewer has said? Well I’m not so sure about that but this one did make me chuckle quite a good few times. It did take me a little while to get in tune with the humour as the book almost seemed to be veering off into something serious at times. I think that was possibly more my mood than the book because Waldo’s family the Corpselovers are set up in a very amusing fashion. As it progresses though and Waldo journeys onwards it resolves into real comedic episodes. Waldo declaring his family name in an effort to placate an angry crowd was probably when I realised just how much I was enjoying the ride. The following battle of the sexes that ensues right up to a genuinely laugh out loud ending to this first book of the series is particularly well done.

The narration by Gary Furlong is bright and breezy so the book never seems never seemed to drag at any point.

In summary this is a light-hearted fantasy road-trip with a slightly different “battle of the sexes” and set of rather fascinating family relationships at its heart. Waldo’s grandfather and his first familiar are the real highlights and his continued utter failure to understand the world around him after his isolated upbringing provides a lot of the laughs.

Silly epic fantasy journey

Fun world and excellent narration, although not as charming and funny as Pratchett it has a lot of the same feeling and I really enjoyed this story.

Narrating speed?!

At the beginning, the narrator speeds up and down during different sections of the book, makes it hard to follow. Overall storyline doesn't capture my attention.

Great fantasy epic with very funny characters.

I love a good fantasy adventure yarn and this story is a great listen.
I also enjoy the anti hero vibes.
The performance is very well done too.
