“I’ve listened to several audiobooks read by Scott Brick. Why is he so popular? Why isn’t everyone as enlightened and correct as me?! WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE THIS GUY?!” – The_Chairman_Meow For the past 5 years or so I given up completely on Scott Brick and now refuse to buy an audiobook narrated by this guy. ” I actually hate Scott Brick’s narrations. He narrates like Zapp Branangan would with some sort of heroism or a overconfident virtuosity.” – WhiteKnight74 He turns rational characters into overwrought teenagers.” – D. “Scott Brick emotes identically, everywhere and always, regardless of the character. “Scott Brick just made me return the book “Forever on the Mountain.” Listening to Brick read it, all I could hear was “I am a thesbian! I am a thesbian!” It was like listening to a book being read by Frasier Crane.” – Huldren “Scott Brick’s narration has the sing-songy, self-important, overly dramatic intonation of a Goth girl reading aloud her horrible poetry.” – Googly Elmo Long….pauses, and breathy, tonal shifts.” – John Mitchell “He reminds me of nothing so much as the character Calculon from Futurama. I wish Scott Brick lovers could hear what I hear when forced to listen to him.” – Lunada Bay Lady ( see, my cilantro theory!) Only some of us have it, or lack it, whichever the case may be. “I’m beginning to think that there is a Scott Brick gene. “Every character in every book, regardless of the author, sounds the same.” – Audie O’File Pathetic, disgusting, and unlistenable - this narrator is a turd-Midas for everything he reads. He usually sounds like he’s on the verge of tears or hysteria. “Scott Brick’s every damned utterance gushes with insipid melodrama. Its like reading in all capitals or something.” – Lee “No matter the genre his constant, overly tense, emotional intonation ruins books for me. “The guy will make picking up a newspaper dramatic and sad, while the dying dog next to it gets a dry monotone and breathless death.” – Isaac When I hear his voice the first thing that pops into my head is a parody of an already super cheesy soap opera.” – jason “He reminds me of William Shatner from the early Star Trek years. “If you are an insomniac try him out….that should finally get you to sleep.” – S. People who argue that “he can’t be bad if he’s so popular” must be ready to award Dan Brown the Pulitzer.” – James Abraham They sound like the know-it-all yuppies you find and ignore at cocktail parties.” – K. “I just can’t stand the breathless intonation he gives the characters. I am amused, there is even a petition (which I totally signed)! Some of what people are saying needs to be repeated as a warning to others though! This man is the human equivalent of cilantro, people love him or hate him and think he tastes like soapy death!! He’s so divisive I took to the internet to see what other people are saying about him. I mean how could I not? He’s so prolific, narrating over 700 books so far (WTF?). I’ve gotten into the habit of listening to audio books during my daily commute and have had the misfortune of coming across Scott Brick’s narrative work more than once now.
