Hilarious

Another terrific entry in this series! It was just as funny as the previous audiobooks, and the narrators are fully inhabiting their characters. They all seem to be having so much fun recording this that it is impossible not to have fun right along with them. The epilogue was sheer genius, and I plan on replaying that many times over.

No Skynet for us! lol

Atticus and Neil are the new hottest Mmm-Mmm romance narrator duo... until Vera and Cameron bring a new "voice" to the scene: Artie Smarts. But there is something about this Artie person than can be very dangerous to the audiobook indistry. The "Narwal" and his friends will band together because nope, they are not having it! 

If you, like me, are an audiobook enthusiast, you've certainly listened to Erin Mallon's wonderful audioplays. In this third installment of These Walls Can Talk, "Skynet" is real and is about to replace our beloved narrators! (Or at least they'll try!) Nope! No! Never! Jason Clarke is incredible as the AI robot who's apparently become sort of sentient - and also kinda scary. The story is hilarious but yeah, we know people are using synthetic voices to narrate several things. We've become accustomed to the Siris and Alexas but NOTHING will replace these talented people because narration is an A R T. 

So, my shoutout to the amazing cast: Joe Arden, Andi Arndt, Jason Clarke, Shane East, Tanya Eby, Teddy Hamilton, Erin Mallon, Maxine Mitchell and Emma Wilder. You guys can never be replaced! 

DO NOT SKIP THE BLOOPERS!!!  LOL 

Possible "triggers": Well, I was definitely "triggered" by the very idea of a synthetic voice reading my books. NOPE. NO. NEVER. NOOOOOOOOOO. 

(I understand the amazing thing it is for the people who are unable to read with their eyes to have a voice to read to them. It is wonderful. This is not what I am screaming against. )

An amazingly funny series!

The gang is back! This time, their narrating livelihoods are at risk because of an AI narrator (ripped straight from the headlines!).

Erin is such a great talent, and this series is so awesome! The addition of Jason Clarke to this already stellar cast of narrators is spot-on!

Shenanigans, Banter, Laughter, and Feels

This was just amazing. In a time where there is so much going on and the world feels even more unhinged this was the perfect escape. Some parts had me laughing so much, I was in tears.

Written by Erin Mallon and performed by an amazing cast. The story continues with plenty of shenanigans, laughter, banter, and a side of feels. The conversations between the characters is everything and Erin's ability to write really shines. Jason Clarke was added to the cast and voiced the role of the machine. I had heard/read other narrators from this project proclaim Jason's performance blew them out of the water, and they weren't kidding. If you enjoyed the first two books of this series, you will hands down love this as well.

This Is A Must Have Series

If you love to laugh, you're going to want to check this one out. To get the full experience, you should start with book one. This is a play that makes fun of their profession. There's a storm brewing, more like building momentum, and it's one I'm not happy about.

I found it interesting that the author addresses concerns I had after seeing something in a group I belong to. She puts a funny spin on it and made my yard work a fun experience. The downside had nothing to do with any of these people, or the storyline, but at my iPod. Maybe it was revolting because of what I was listening to but I was getting to a really good part and the "stupid thing" kept shutting off. I almost began to wonder if it had sympathy for the new character that was added here. But we both got through it and now I want more. If I add too much more to my review than it will become a spoiler and this is something that needs to be experienced.

After you have finished, I hope you will check out more of both the author's other work as well as those of the other voice actors. I can't say that I liked one above the other since they are all important to this comedic piece. One good thing about listening to this as I was doing yard work was I could laugh out loud and not care if anyone saw me. Now if I had been in the grocery store, that would have been a problem because there was no way that I would be able to hold back the laughter. Now that I've been through all three in the series, I can now go back and listen to each one in succession. Think of them as acts in a play.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

absolutely fun

This was a fun story. Some of the scenes in the story had me laughing hysterically this narrator group just nailed it Jason as the machine outstanding. I don't want to give anything away but I have to say the scene towards the end was hysterical I couldn't stop laughing grinning from ear to ear well done ladies and gentlemen well done.

I FREAKING LOVE THESE BOOKS

I have loved every book in this series and I have listened to them several times in a row!!!! Of course the narration is STELLAR and the stories are so funny but I must say I FUC$ING LOVE THE OUTTAKES SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH. WORTH 5 Fu@#$& Credits. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️🥰🥰❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️🥰❤️

Calling all Comedy lovers!

The third and final installment of Erin Mallon's These Walls Can Talk trilogy is the perfect wrap up! Connections between listeners, fans, narrators, authors, and production companies relays insider secrets and is a play on the audio experience. You will want to listen time and time again!
The Narwhal is back and ready to lay down the law! When AI technology comes to play, this crew is ready to slay, rap battle style! Joe, Andi, Shane, Emma, Teddy, Tanya, Maxine, Jason, and Erin take this and run with it. Their sense of pride in what they do, their passion for everyone involved; It's all within this trilogy with a happy comedy twist.
Erin Mallon is the queen of play writing. Hands down one of my favorite trilogies to lift me up when needing a laugh. After all, laughter is the best medicine. This has it in spades.

Rise of the Machine

"I am a narrator not a definitioner."
Ha ha ha, if you listened to this series then your in for a treat this one delivers perfection and brilliance. I couldn't stop laughing it was excellent.

I love the way its truth and fiction and the community all rolled in. Its fun and witty makes me want to go back and listen from 1 all the way through again.

I needed this laugh, and the narration is fabulous each character is awesome and narrators who play them equally as stunning.

No way around it if you haven't listened to these seriously what are you waiting for it is audio brilliance.

Brilliant!!

Erin Mallon has taken the art of playwriting and turned it on its head and I couldn’t love her more for doing it. I never imagined anyone could write a short form play, perform it in audiobook format, place it in the romance world and make it a smashing success, but she has done it again and again and again! These Walls Can Talk 3 - Rise of the Machine is the absolute perfect conclusion to this hilarious, heartfelt, clever, and downright incredible trilogy of award winning collaboration from a group of narrators and actors that are the best in their field. Erin Mallon has proven yet again that her talent as an author/playwright rivals that of her stunning acting and narration, and I hope she continues to be the hardest working mom/author/actor/narrator/producer/wife that she has shown us for a while now. Talk about a triple/quadruple threat, she seems to be able to do anything she puts her mind to with smashing success. Andi Arndt, Shane East, Joe Arden, Maxine Mitchell, Emma Wilder, Teddy Hamilton, Tanya Eby, Jason Clarke, and Erin Mallon herself have come together to create a laugh-out-loud, don’t-drink-while-you-are-listening (for fear of spit-takes and snorting through your nose), don’t-miss-a-word performance that will keep you ROTFL for the whole 2-plus hours and then leave you wishing for more. Bravo to the whole cast and especially Erin Mallon for bringing us this much needed piece of glorious entertainment.
