Noggle Stones


Lu par Wil Radcliffe

(4.4 étoiles; 16 critiques)

Shunned by his people and tormented by nightmare visions, Bugbear, the mad goblin scholar, ventures into the wilderness with his ne'er-do-well cousin, Tudmire, to seek out an ancient ruin and the lost wisdom it holds.

Soon the cousins find themselves embroiled in cosmic events as their magical world of Annwfn is merged with 19th Century Earth after an accident concerning a mysterious scroll Tudmire acquires in a crooked game of Noggle Stones. While fleeing the enraged ogres they cheated, Bugbear and Tudmire happen upon Martin Manchester, who appears to be a creature of mythology known as a human. Bugbear takes Manchester as his apprentice, agreeing to teach him the empowering ways of Non-Logical Thought. The trio soon discovers that dark forces have aligned against them, and the two worlds may have been merged only to be destroyed!

Critiques


The music is "new age garbage"!? Granted the production might have seemed comparable to a lot of the new-age but most of the tunes were trad irish (or at least celtic). Was that significant...? I haven't read the print version but the alliteration and language used was perfect for reading ...


Reading the synopsis for this book, I was thrilled. Here, I thought, was a wonderful, light hearted and interesting twist on the normal fantasy novel. And indeed, I believe that Noggle Stones has a good plot and excellent characterization, as well as a humorous slant to it that sets it ...


I am absolutely delighted that most of you are enjoying (or have already enjoyed) the Noggle Stones podiobook. However, I am equally concerned that some of you have not enjoyed your journey into the world of Noggle Stones. If you have enjoyed the writing itself, but not necessarily our audio ...


I was a little dubious of the narrator at first, but I really enjoy listening to him. His tone inflections added to the story, and I love the way it was written. The rhythm is wonderful, the pace is a little fast, but not too much so, and the music ...


Nia: A belated "thank you" for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the Noggle Stones podiobook. If you or anyone else is interested in purchasing the Noggle Stones novel, a new edition from Dailey Swan Publishing will be on stands in March. The new edition of Noggle Stones is ...


Funny, but when I was thinking about what I was going to say about this book, one of the first things that came to mind was that it was an excellent story for young people because there wasn't any gratuitous sex or violence and no profanity. In spite of missing ...


PuddyRat (great handle, by the way), thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed Noggle Stones. By the way, the new print edition of Noggle Stones is now available! It features a brand new chapter, as well as some edited passages. Plus, artist Darren Stephens has provided an outstanding ...


I think both the story and the narration were great. I was very surprised to see Amanda say it was done in a monotone. I had none of the problems listening that she mentioned. And Josh said there was no inflection in his voice got me wondering as well. I ...
