The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp (Reading Log)

By:  Rick Yancey

Carver County Library audiobook 7 CDs

Published: 2005

Genre: YA adventure


Alfred never knew his dad, his mom died of cancer when he was 12, and now he lives with his uncle. Things go from bad to worse when he manages to get Excalibur and give it to the bad guy. Action, adventure, magic, and a little romance ensue.

 

My reaction (8.30.2007):

I really enjoyed it! Even though Alfred is such a pathetic character in some ways, his good points really shine through. The action was intense - lots of killing. There were some bright moments of humor (e.g. the corn dog discussion with Benaccio). Delightful.

 

Michael, Paul - reader. Extraordinary! Wonderful range of voices and accents. Really brought the story to life!
