Story
For two years, Cyrus and Antigone Smith have run a sagging roadside motel with their older brother, Daniel. Nothing ever seems to happen. Then a strange old man with bone tattoos arrives, demanding a specific room. Less than 24 hours later, the old man is dead. The motel has burned, and Daniel is missing. And Cyrus and Antigone are kneeling in a crowded hall, swearing an oath to an order of explorers who have long served as caretakers of the world's secrets, keepers of powerful relics from lost civilizations, and jailers to unkillable criminals.

Sam Miracle's life is made up of dreams - dreams where he's a courageous, legendary hero instead of a foster kid with two bad arms that can barely move. Sometimes these dreams feel so real, they seem like forgotten memories. And sometimes they make him believe that his arms might come alive again. But Sam is about to discover that the world he knows and the world he imagines are separated by only one thing: time. And that separation is only an illusion.

Story
Chuck Dutton built Music City Salvage with patience and expertise, stripping historic properties and reselling their bones. Inventory is running low, so he's thrilled when Augusta Withrow appears in his office offering salvage rights to her entire property. This could be a gold mine, so he assigns his daughter, Dahlia, to personally oversee the project. The crew finds a handful of surprises right away. Firstly, the place is in unexpectedly good shape. And then there's the cemetery, about 30 fallen and overgrown graves dating to the early 1900s.

Emmy was a good girl. At least she tried very hard to be good. She did her homework without being told. She ate all her vegetables, even the slimy ones. And she never talked back to her nanny, Miss Barmy, although it was almost impossible to keep quiet – some days. Honestly, Emmy really was a little too good. Which is why she liked to sit by the Rat. The Rat was not good at all.

Richard Mayhew is a young businessman who is about to find out more than he bargained for about this other London.

I wish Frank were my Father!
What made the experience of listening to 100 Cupboards the most enjoyable?
The narrator does an incredible job delineating between the different characters: bratty younger sister, headstrong middle sister and poor Henry, thrown quite unexpectedly into the mix but Frank, well, Mr. Wilson gives Frank such innate wisdom in being a father and quite a few memorable quotes. I laughed out loud at the children's squabbles and my heart sighed whenever Frank dispensed his fatherly wisdom.
What a great book for children AND adults!

This one's a keeper!
Excellent job on the narration, very well read.
I was hooked from the start. I love the author's descriptive style; it is very visual.
Good story, great character. The ending was a bit weak? or maybe (having by then went and bought the book) I was reading too fast. Besides, obviously a sequel coming here. Maybe I thought the ending weak because it is not the end... Overall, don't miss this one.

Fantasy as it should be
N.D. Wilson follows in the tradition of C.S Lewis. This story had excellent driving mysteries and highly like able characters. The writing style is vivid and energetic. It is the kind of fantasy literature that leaves you with a greater appreciation for reality.
The performance is excellent, and musical transitions are well deployed.
There are some scary scenes. My seven year old enjoyed listening to select (non-scary) parts of the story, but my guess is that she won't be ready for the full story for a few years yet. I definitely recommend this to adults who are looking for an good story and want to avoid the escapism (especially sexual escapism and preoccupation) common in adult fantasy.

The Curious Start to a Brilliant Tale!
N. D. Wilson is a wonderful author. He both intrigues and spell binds his readers with the expertly crafted words he uses. Russell Wilson narrated this Audible very well, and gave life to the words on the page. Unfortunately the book starts very plainly, I almost didn't want to listen further. However after the first few minutes I became more interested. I was also quite confused by all of the names that included "Henry". There is the town Henry, the protagonist Henry, and his cousin Henrietta. After I little while of listening though I understood very well. The story doesn't have much action, but does have plenty of magical mystery. 100 Cupboards it a story that makes me feel as if I could stumble upon a few magic cupboards myself. It also warns me to be very careful of what comes through them.
As a final note, N.D. Wilson posted a while ago about pitching ideas for a movie, based on one of his books. He did not say which. I do not think this book would make a good movie. It might if combined with the others in it's series, but not alone. I do believe that the Ashtown Burials would be a magnificent addition to the movie world and to your Audible Library.

Great story and narrator!
Would you listen to 100 Cupboards again? Why?
Yes! It has appealed to my boys sense of adventure.
What did you like best about this story?
It is very reminiscent of C.S. Lewis' The Magicians Nephew which is a pleasant surprise. It opened up the problem of what happens when evil is unleashed into a world even for the best of reasons.
Which scene was your favorite?
I loved the scene where when someone is in the cupboard they can see a ballroom full of people and the explanation is that the wood remembers.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Adventure awaits
Any additional comments?
Definitely one to be relistened to over and over to glean the nuances missed during the first run through.
