This is partly probably because the books are simply too long for a radio drama presentation (see only Eisenmann). They are so together cut that much is lost. What plausible and understandable came over in the book, here is confusing, everything comes at once and it does not surprise me that those who do not know the book, the story can not follow. There is a lack quieter, passages, but they are important for understanding. In addition, technical mistakes. I agree with the critics that Luke's speaker is ill-chosen. While its performance is not a backwater, but also unconvincing and unfortunately he speaks quite a while. I was his voice already annoyed after a while, it sounds to me like a ten year old who desperately tries to make a grown up on. Even the screams of Mrs. Pembroke rather went to the pointer me. The music is not bad, but not suitable for this episode in my opinion, because it is not dark and sinister enough. And it lacks for my taste background noise. In the beginning, for example, while ballooning, you only hear creaking ropes, as would have been possible. And last end: what is in the book works for me, in radio drama ridiculous (no idea why this is) is. But the spiritual (this alone Crane Trinity) is simply idiotic. And I just can not stand that someone disguised as a monster, is a revenge-curse-stuff-something-bad-from-the-past-fuss, all fall for it and keep it for real (except Justus), and all this just to get any frills in the hands. The whole course of secluded places where no cell phone reception is (what a coincidence) and where all the people are strange bissl. The authors simply have to give up this scheme, otherwise, I would argue, Rocky Beach rename in Halloween country or insanity ville, as much Batty and clad is there.
In short, old items, poorly prepared and implemented technically at best moderate. Thus, the result, for which I had actually already reserved at least 4 stars only 2 stars einheimsen, and probably only because there is still worse. I am the product DDF now very critical. And as a book reader (which I will give it up, I think) I know, unfortunately, that we with the next two episodes (a Sonnleitner and the anniversary episode) beorsteht not good. Even at the time afterwards should not be too happy to be. I am now at the point where I seriously consider collecting the consequences after the next good result (for a gratifying completion) entirely.
My recommendation: Books 15 pages shorter, in addition to the "standard" -Charakteren only a maximum of 5 additional and above all a story of which one could say with a bit of good will: "Yes, that could happen in real life and times." But at what lies ahead, it's probably the other way.
