Summary

The fourth book in the best-selling Heroes of Olympus series - set in the explosive world of Percy Jackson - now available in this unabridged audio download.

The stakes have never been higher. If Percy Jackson and Annabeth fail in their quest, there'll be hell on Earth. Literally. Wandering the deadly realm of Tartarus, every step leads them further into danger. And, if by some miracle they do make it to the Doors of Death, there's a legion of bloodthirsty monsters waiting for them.

Meanwhile, Hazel and the crew of the Argo II have a choice: to stop a war or save their friends. Whichever road they take one thing is certain - in the Underworld, evil is inescapable.

Great story, terrible narrator

Would you be willing to try another one of Nick Chamian’s performances?

No, god no.
I haven't liked any of the narrators of these books as they all have very nasal voices however this guy almost caused me to return the book. He places emphasis on seemingly random words in sentances it sounds like a 12 year old drama student trying to be dramatic. I'd read the book rather than buy this.

the worst narrator I have heard, on audible.

story was pretty good, though not has good has the others in the series & definitely not has good has the percy Jackson series.
the reader was terrible. it sounded slow and mostly in one tone, in a way it reminded me of my Kindle touch reading aloud (just lest robotic), I speeded it up, but still didn't sound brilliant, slightly better if listening on a device with better sound quality, it's even worst if using cheap not very good headphones or speakers.
sometimes I had trouble really following the story, I don't know if that was due to the poor narrator, the story or if it was just that sometimes I was listening while doing something else, though it could of been a mixture of all three.

Amazing story...but an awful narrator.

I love this story, but the change of narrator is awful. He sounds like he has his nose blocked or something, which is incredibly annoying. Why the change? The last one was good. If you easily get annoyed by voices like this narrator then do not purchase the audiobook.

Not just for kids

Where does The House of Hades rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Pretty high up. Its well read and interesting. I must be hooked I have the whole set so far.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The House of Hades?

Frank fighting a huge bunch of monsters on a bridge in Venice. He's usually a very quiet character and he suddenly grew (literally as it turned out).

Which character – as performed by Nick Chamian – was your favourite?

Bob the giant. He is such a sweetie.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Through Hell and back?

Any additional comments?

I am not a kid. I have a classics degree. I just enjoy these books, they tackle the myths in an engaging way. Go Romans and Greeks!

Narrator

I much prefers the older narrator to the new one, the voice just doesn’t fit the book that he is reading or the characters he is trying to portray

Bad narrator

The narrator of this book is very bad. The narrator o r of percy Jackson was great. The narrator of the previous three books was a bit worse. This guy makes me cringe

Great book, bad narrator

Loved all the books so far but this new narrator is awful. Wish they had kept the last one.

accent?

the accent and pronunciation of some words changed from the last book, making it strange to listen to one after another, but its okay once you get used to it, its still a great book
