Hey, it’s me again–Blake Hamner–and yes, the n is still silent. I’m super excited to announce the release today of my very first audiobook, Utopia PR! It’s exactly the same as the print version I published last year, except now you get to hear my melodious voice say every word.
Editor’s Note: Audiobook is narrated by Tristan Wright.
Hey, who wrote that? I don’t have an editor. That’s why the book I wrote is so great.
Editor’s Note: There was an editor, and technically, Adam Bender wrote the book.
Pssh, whatever. What I was trying to say is that you can buy the audiobook today directly from me or from your favorite online retailer.
I’ve already received some really great reviews on NetGalley, and just like I did after the paperback and eBook editions came out, I wanted to share a few excerpts from my favorite pieces of feedback.
Quite a few years ago I was on a trip to Florida with my family and we picked up Little Green Men by Christopher Buckley, it was a hilarious political satire book and until I listened to Utopia PR by Adam Bender I had not seen or maybe I should say heard its equal. Utopia PR is hilarious and fascinating, it does a good job of both satirizing and skewering politics and PR men and women. If you enjoy political satire at all you should grab this book, its really entertaining. Even if you have not read any political satire and just enjoy a good story and maybe a little dark humor then this book will tickle your fancy as it did mine. It reminded me a lot of Christopher Moore’s books as well in just how well written it was.

I love a review with a few good comps! I also love anything related to skewering. People, kebabs, beloved institutions — I skewer it all.
This is madcap, satirical quirkiness at its best. It’s scary ‘cos it could actually be based on fact. It’s funny ‘cos it isn’t. I think.
Loved the audio version, it’s short and I wished it was much longer, though it ended neatly and I would heartily recommend it.

It is based on fact. Why do people keep saying it’s funny? This is my life! Interesting she said it’s short. Maybe one day they’ll let me release the Blake Hamner cut. It’s got a lot more singing.
This is a fast paced, action, humorous, dystopian take on what PR seems to be about about, and it isn’t the truth.

Ain’t that truth. By the way, I’d love to take your class, Peter!
While listening to this audiobook, I could easily see it as a made-for-Netflix movie or limited series. I loved the banter between characters and the dry humor. I think it would play out nicely on screen.

You heard Emily, Netflix! Let’s get this greenlit!
Just give it a try, if you dont like it you can complain about it in a comment section.
Kate M., Reviewer
Yeah! Complain about it in the comments section, ya jerks!
Thanks to all of you listened to the audiobook already and wrote reviews. For those of you clicking BUY as we speak, please leave a review somewhere and send me the link! I’ll try to feature you in a future blog post!
