A review by gabrielavmarques
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - Makers, Mysteries and Magic by Mark Salisbury, Hana Walker-Brown, Dan Fogler
1.0
The audiobook has absolutely no new information and adds nothing to the reader. It is just a feature-type introduction to the movie that could be surmised with a 5-minute video compilation of cast interviews.
I was excited for Daniel Fogler's narration since I adored his acting in Fantastic Beast, and yet it was way too much: overly done, infantile and obnoxious to the point of being irritating.
The cast and crew interviews are messy and frustrating. More often than not, they are talking too fast and often with almost incomprehensible accents, as well as not giving any relevant information and made for an annoying reading experience. There is one particular one-minute interview where a person says "do you know what I mean" 6 times.
An audiobook is supposed to transport the reader right to the story. This is basically just a long behind-the-scenes video without the video, that makes the reader frustrated he can't see anything that is being talked about.
