I thought this would be a fun audiobook to listen to because it has the actors from the TV series performing the story. However it was incredibly stupid. At least it was free.

How long have I been waiting for this! How many times have I checked my calendar, counting the days before I could download this audiobook to my tablet! But it's finally here, and last Tuesday, I sat down, and I listened to the whole thing in one sitting. I just gobbled down this audiobook like it was a bowl of chocolate chip ice cream, with whipped cream and strawberries on top.The X-files: Cold Cases is an audiodrama that is based on X-Files: Season 10 - a series of comic books that were writt...

This is coming from a person who hasn't watched the series so I really didn't care if it had the original cast or not (because well- no nostalgia) I picked it up because audible membership had it and it did intrigue me. Now that I have put that out. I can talk about if I liked it or not. For starters I loved the way the audiobook has been performed, it felt like I have a film/ TV show running in the back and I am working alongside (Which I usually do-- so kudos on that, it was visual enough for

This was really fun if you're an X-Files fan. It was like watching the show. All the cast was included, even people who had died so it was really great to hear their voices again. I liked the medium. The short stories were interesting and well written and they all connected and added to the whole X-Files collection.

3.5 Stars! I dont often listen to audiobooks, I just dont have the concentration for them. But lately I've been listening to alot of podcasts and I got to thinking that if I could listen to a podcast then I could certainly listen to an audiobook. I love The X Files. I'm one of those obnoxious people who discover something old and then go around telling everybody they just have to watch this show that everyone has already heard of. I didn't start watching The X Files until 3 years ago. I had fini...

Better than the sequel. Story - slightly better, voice acting - much better.Still, not great. You can quickly tell when the dialogue is badly written. Characters start telling you things, instead of showing. I can probably blame that on "Audiobook adaptation" by Maggs the Destroyer of Books, rather than the actual writer Harris.Again, this book is split into 5 episodes, ranging from 20 to 1 hour and 20 minutes. David Duchovny, shockingly, brought his acting skills with him on the day of recordin...

I had pre-ordered this title, drawn in by the hype and with high hopes. I am disappointed.It is painfully obvious that the writers are not used to working with a non-visual medium. The best description I've come up with is that the story comes across like listening to a loud TV from a different room-- dialog and sound effects without context.Of greater concern is how the voice acting came across as though it was the first cold reading- by all of the actors.I have more than 200 titles in my Audib...

4 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum https://bibliosanctum.com/2017/08/06/...While I have been listening to audiobooks for years, this is the first time I’ve actually tried one of these much-talked-about audio dramas from Audible Studios. Also known as audio plays or audio theater, these are very much like the old-school radio shows that were so popular in the 1920s-40s before the advent of television, though obviously their successors have come a long way since those days. Still, the idea is the s...

Wonderful experience for a lifetime X-Files fan.First of all, the production quality was excellent. The "episodes" in this audiobook were written quite well, though I'm not sure how well they'd fare if part of the actual series- which is exactly what I expected and I don't mean this to come off as a deterrent. I think the character of Mulder was the most accurately written of all. I found some plot holes but it isn't like those didn't exist in the series. The bits of invented lore to bring back

Despite having everything going for it (original cast, produced by Audible, overseen by Chris Carter) this was just terrible. Anderson, Pileggi and Davis are the only actors who turn in good performances. Duchovny is shockingly bad. Mulder has always been a bit flat, but Duchovny's performance here is lifeless. Also the writing is incredibly weak. I am not sure the writer has even written in audio drama format before (because that's what this is, an audio drama, not a book) but it sure doesn't s...

A treat for fans of the series. It was performed well but the story wasn't all that. I still liked it though :)

I found a quote that summarises the quality of this book pretty well:"Be careful Mulder. If we're dealing with alien hybrids, you'll need more than your good looks and boyish charm."Cheesy, campy fun that is ultimately a little unsatisfying.I used to watch X-files with my Grandpa. We stopped because he started using his classic catch phrase "What bullshit is this?" That was always his signal to stop a show or movie. Despite this, I kept watching the cheesy mess on my own. But I did miss his comm...

3.5 starsI got this for free from Audible (or Prime? I don't know), for what that's worth, and had no idea what I was getting into, other than "ohh, X-Files!"So this isn't an audiobook, but a radio drama. Fully voice-acted with sound effects, but no narrator. If you haven't heard a radio drama in a while, or ever, it can be a little strange to hear people saying dialogue to give you an idea of scenery or whatever else a narrator might normally bring to the table. That's nothing specific to this

X filesIt was a full production and was rather good. There were some characters that were monotone and bland but others that were quiet good vocal actors.

I have a very loud and public relationship with everything Mulder and Scully. They are my original OTP. The humor was there, the story line, the characters, the mystery, all of it was back and I'm only sorry it was such a short book. I want more.

A good audiobook and i would recommend it to any fan of the series. Some of the voice acting was a little wooden in parts but all in all and gripping addition to the franchise.

I've been a big fan of X-Files since I was a kid and this brings back all kinds of feelings for me to hear the original casts' voice. It's like I'm watching the series in my mind. The story is great as you can expect. The soundeffects and bgm were awesome. I actually binge listened to this audible today and torn between wanting to know the end of the story and don't want to finish it so quickly. It's too short. I hope they will do more of this.

Super quick audio - like 4 hours tops? Maybe less.Now I've never seen the show before but since this book was free I figured, why the hell not?The X-Files: Cold Cases: was pretty interesting. The audio made it seem like it was a show but it kind of went through the scenes a bit quickly. Throughout the audio, they solve some cold cases while people keep disappearing or being kidnapped. There's also some type of alien taking over people. The audio was okay and I liked that it was pretty quick. How...

This was good. I’m not an X-Files super fan but I’ve watched a number of episodes so the characters were immediately familiar and the cases they investigated were interesting. I would read more of these.

My original The X-Files: Cold Cases audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.Let me start this review off by saying that if you are a fan of the X-Files TV series, stop reading now and go pick up “The X-Files: Cold Cases”; it’s that good.Even though the audiobook is rather short at just over four hours of audio, I did not feel cheated when I was finished it.  If you are not an X-Files fan, or have not watched the series, you may find the multiple show references and a
