Opening the X-Files...

Meet Mulder and Scully, FBI - the agency maverick and the female agent assigned to keep him in line.

Their job is to investigate the eeriest unsolved mysteries in modern America, from pyro-psychics to death row demonics, from rampaging Sasquatches to alien invasions. These are the cases the Bureau wants handled quietly but quickly, before the public finds out what's really out there...and panics - the cases filed under "X".

Okay so like many other people have stated before me, the characters and the the interactions between them are just totally unlike the x-files characters. Scully and Mulder espcially do not act like themselves, this is a huge problem if you are expecting it as you listen. The other gripe I have is this narrator is aboslutely monotone he never changes his voice the entire time he is reading. I would have found someone else to read these books if I were a publisher. But that is just me. His reading makes it so boring to listen to and difficult to know which character is talking.

The narrator and the characters....

The book itself is kinda average, not a bad story but the characters just don't seem like their TV counterparts in my opinion.
The narrater... He just seems overly enthusiastic and it ruins some of the tense moments as he doesn't really change thr tone of his voice that well.

Meh.

The writer wasn't able to capture Mulder's and Scully's personalities quite well in this one. They are a bit annoying here, like they aren't in the series or the other books, even another one by the same author.

The least good fictional X-Files book so far

I would have preferred more depth to the voice acting in parts it was difficult to ascertain who was who as a lot of the characters sounded similar.

Not a classic

The story was great, much like the X-Files we know and love but I thought the portrayal of Moulder and Scully were a but out of character in some parts.

Thought the characters were a little inconsistent.
