Oh Beyond the Sun… it’s basically just kind of dull innit. All you folks complaining about Benny being too long, I don’t agree with you in general but you’ll be bang on for this one. It’s just, meandering. I don’t remember what happens, I’ll be honest, even though I did only listen to it a few months ago. I did write a review then though!

I enjoyed it a lot. Can’t remember much about the plot, but it was easy to follow (which is the biggest factor to me when it comes to media in another language), and the chips I made listening to the audio was delicious.

It’s fine-ish, I think. Love Benny as always in this one, Bowerman is just so good, and love how Benny is characterized here. The Story itself sadly kinda drags, which pains me to say since I believe in longer Stories and their strengths, sadly this one just kinda goes through the Motions. At times, it doesn’t feel like much is happening. And the Supporting Cast is also nothing to write home about. I did find some Ideas presented here interesting, but ultimately it leaves a lot to be desired. I think I prefer the Novel much more this Time around.

I really disliked this one. The plot was meandering, and boring, plus it cut out a lot of interesting stuff from the book.

Stories like this are the reason why, outside 3 stories, I will skip Series 1 of Benny on any re-listens.

2/5.

This was boring but also had some really weird, disturbing things in it?

Here’s what I wrote over in my other thread:

I’d forgotten that stuff but the moment I read it, I went - oh yeah! I remember Scott!
