This week for the Fiction Friday feature, I am reviewing the children’s Audible Original, Beezer by Brandon T. Snider. This audio work was released in January 2020 and is 2 hours & 8 minutes in length. The voice cast includes Fred Berman, Eric Yves Garcia, and Janiece Abbott-Pratt. The following overview is provided from the Audible page: Beelzebub, the prince of demons, is bored. It’s his destiny to one day rule the dark underworld known as the Red Realm, but it’s sooo boring down there. All he wants to do is lay around all day in the lava pits (ahhh), boss everyone around (rude!), and maybe play a cruel prank (or two). But Beelzebub’s father has had it with his son’s nasty attitude. No one talks back to the Red King. NO ONE. A disgraced Beelzebub is banished by his father and cursed to spend his days in the worst place either of them can imagine: EARTH. Now Beezer (his new name… which he hates) has to navigate a family (way too nice for his liking) that doesn’t know the truth behind where he really came from. Oh, and his human body? Not a fan. Too many feelings! And it makes weird sounds. What would Beezer do to get back home and reclaim his rightful place next to his father? Anything it takes. That is unless, he finds a new path (ugh, work).
This was a fun listen. I think kids will really like this one as it is relatable to their age group. The voice performances of this Audible Original make it one that I would revisit often. I have learned that there is now a sequel that has come out. This was so fun that I wanted to spend more time with Beezer on his adventures. If you have a child who needs something funny and has a hard time focusing on a physical book, I highly recommend this Audible Original.
I give this Audible Original 4 out of 5 stars.
Tomorrow for the Missing Person Saturday feature, I am highlighting the missing person’s case of Margarita Reyes. Next week for the Fiction Friday feature, I am reviewing the horror fantasy novel, Insomnia by Stephen King. Until then keep reading on; Nerd out!
