Publisher's Summary

The official novelization of the summer blockbuster Godzilla: King of the Monsters, the latest film in the MonsterVerseTM franchise, starring Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga, Millie Bobby Brown, with Ken Watanabe and Ziyi Zhang.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters follows the heroic efforts of the cryptozoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super species, thought to be mere myths, rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.

Appropriately Cinematic

I confess that I have never seen the 2019 CGI Blockbuster upon which this audiobook treatment is based.. but could easily visualize what was portrayed on the screen. Author Greg Keyes writes with indisputably vivid description.
True, he largely adheres to the screenplay (evidently recapitulating dialogue and action scenes moment-by-moment) - but also adds excerpts from worldwide myths & legends about monsters at the head of each chapter. In addition, he adds character background elements (imbuing relatability) and hypothetical debates in the scientific literature should such creatures exist (lending a much-needed illusion of authenticity to the story). The result is a deeper experience than cinema-goers could expect from a deliberately visual-heavy Gaiju fanboy spectacle.
This is a high quality novelization.

Straight-up brilliant narration from Michael Braun adds to my enthusiasm for this audiobook. Blackstone Audio Inc did a marvellous job casting this project and lend Braun exemplary technical support (the sound quality is unsurpassed). Mr. Braun reads too slowly (listening at 1.20X yields the most natural experience) - but his diction, timbre, cadence, tone, and voice-acting are all spot-on.

Don't expect to be blown away by the story (it's packed with annoying "Hollywood" clichés), but if you can't access a screen, this 9/10 star interpretation of an admittedly silly film is easily worth a download. If you can get it as a 'Plus' selection.. all the better.

What a struggle

This novelization of the 2019 movie did not inspire me to watch the film. The book has some good moments but is so bogged down by poor sentence structure and lame cliches. Michael Braun is a great narrator, though, and I hope to hear him again…and hopefully it’s a book that isn’t a mess.
