WHERE THE HELL IS TESLA? By Rob Dircks

Narrated by Rob Dircks

     Chip and Pete’s Excellent Adventure

The most impressive thing about this book is not that it is consistently funny, frat-boy sarcastic, and paced like a comic book; no, the appeal of this audiobook is that the author narrates it himself and—unexpectedly—handles the task expertly!  While listening it is clear that Dircks tailored his characters and their snarky dialog to his own range of voice techniques. The production quality is top-notch and the voices are spot on. If you have listened to many audiobooks you know that a book narrated by the author is usually the kiss of death. But not here. Dircks it quite good.

The story has more of a comic-book feel to it than it does a Science Fiction story. This is comic fantasy. I found that it is also prime material for the cinema. I could visualize every scene in my head as if it were on film. Some of them make for some excellent visual slapstick comedy.
