About this listen
Welcome to the astounding world of Predator Cities!
Emerging from its hiding place in the hills, the great Traction City is chasing a terrified little town across the wastelands. Soon, London will feed.
In the attack, Tom Natsworthy is flung from the speeding city with a murderous scar-faced girl. They must run for their lives through the wreckage - and face a terrifying new weapon that threatens the future of the world.

keep in mind the audience of the book.
the world mortal engines builds is amazing and wonderful, however, I felt like it was inhabited by a weaker story and characters. this is mainly because I came in with a high expectation but then realised this book was written for kids to young adults.
Still, enjoyed the performance and the world despite it.

Excellent performance, decent story
The setting of Mortal Engines is very absorbing and interesting, and there is a lot of action to enjoy. The plot itself is a fairly standard YA action-adventure, but is well worth listening to, especially due to Barnaby Edwards excellent narration and voicework.

A different type of story
I decided to give this series a go after seeing the teaser trailer for the movie. From the trailer to what i have heard I can see there is possibly going to be some big changes from the book to the movie. The story is unique and is full of action and adventure a good listen or read.

A Certain Modern Classic
The dystopian adventure continues with the wonderfully advanced and creative mind of Reeve. New and yet familiar characters enter the fray of anticipation in this hyperbolic socio-political commentary about the greed of man that manages to outlast annihilation. And at the centre of it all is the bonding of opposites baring the same scars in one way or another.

Alright
I would have liked the main characters to have a little more impact on the story rather it happening around and to them.

Lives up to the movie hype
Bought this book after seeing the movie and it lived up to my expectations, the movie differered a little from the book but it was still a great listen. Can't wait to listen to the rest of the series.

Great for 10-15 year olds
I happily listened to this with my 14 year old son - some bits were laugh out loud funny. Great
