About this listen

A most dreadful deliverance....

Andy’s last day on Earth came sooner than he ever imagined. After becoming entangled in a random act of violence, what began as another mundane day in a cubicle, abruptly transitions into an otherworldly odyssey.

This macabre and perverse journey shatters religious dogmas, answers impossible questions, and pulls back the curtain on man’s true and twisted purpose.

How will Andy’s sickening epiphany affect his trajectory? More importantly, does it even matter?

This has quickly become my favourite of Arons work. Cannot reccomend enough if you like themes of philosophy, religion and more gore than you thought any sane person could handle.

Brilliant psychological and gory horror

This is my fifth foray into the works of Aron Beauregard and I will say this was one of my favourites of his. However it must be addressed, the voice actor did a really bad job. At first I thought his flat monotonous drone was meant to be symbolic of the characters boredom with his job and life, but then he continued on and on in that same flat nothing voice with zero inflection or emotion. I will continue listening to AB's work, but I will be avoiding anything read by Kayll Heath.

A good story, with poor narration.

I’ve read three books from Aron Beauregard, and after doing so I can sum his books into two parts:

The beginning normally focuses on the protagonist/s life, usually in ways that make their life sound incredibly mundane and the protagonist themselves are very uninteresting for the most part.

And then the remaining is just. Snuff.

Now I’m not just easily offended, the gruesome aspects of Aron’s works don’t upset me, and he is ok at describing gruesome. But that’s about where his work starts and ends at being anything admirable or captivating.

I also feel incredibly sorry for the women in Aron’s life because of his writing of them in his novels is any sort of idea of what he thinks about them then seemingly all women are incredibly dull, unintelligent and uninteresting with little worth beyond how pretty they are. In this book even while the woman the protagonist has a crush on his bleeding out in his arms he’s spending less time being upset in any meaningful way and more time focusing on how strikingly beautiful she is. Until he can play hero of course. Never mind that he has nothing really deep to say about her as a person besides she seems genuine and nice, to the point he doesn’t even remember how old her child is. (Because why would you pay any interest in the woman you have a crush ons life? Especially something so integral?)

I don’t know if we’re meant to enjoy how little the protagonist cares about his life at the beginning but it’s honestly grating pretty much immediately and reads like every other male character Aron’s ever written.

All Smiles does nothing different than anything else Aron has written, he cannot write interesting, intriguing, three dimensional characters of his life depended on it, and his work amounts to little more than mediocrely written snuff. From what I can tell most of his positive reviews come from people who think he’s taking a stand against some sort of liberal enemy that wants to censor free speech or something.

Extremely mediocre
