So much better than most actor memoirs

Very well done, I definitely enjoyed the audiobook version of this book more than the ebook.

Production errors and irritating narration

Revisado: 02-12-23

There are a lot of production problems in this audiobook — most frustratingly, it repeats segments back and forth out of order. So you can finish a chapter, and then all the sudden the next “chapter” of the audiobook is content that was anywhere from 1-4 chapters back. The narrator also goes a bit too over the top on regional accents. I could put up with that, but not with all the sequencing problems, so I returned the audiobook and will just read the ebook version instead.

The underlying story is good, although it’s worth noting that this is from that period in Greg Bear’s career where his writing had relatively few women characters and those there often don’t have believable depth in the way the others do.

Ruined by a super irritating narrator

Revisado: 06-30-19

This is a good book but the narration is so prissy and whiny that I truly can’t listen to it.

Good book, but some voices were irritating

Revisado: 09-24-12

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The book itself rotates perspective between the four main characters. For the audio, they handled this by having four voice actors, one for each perspective. And so the actor reading as Jacob, for example, would voice the entire chapter written from his perspective, including doing his impression of Hilda's voice when she is speaking, etc. Then when it's a Hilda perspective chapter, you have that voice actor doing their impression of everyone's voices. The total effect was irritating for me, and might had been confusing as well had I not previously read the book in print. It would have been better if they had either:

1) had each of the actors do their own dialogue in all chapters, and have the actor whose perspective the chapter was do all of the non dialogue.

Or

2) just had one person narrate the entire book.

What three words best describe the narrators’s voice?

While the male voices were fine, the female voices often came across as overly ditzy or sexual, which detracted from the book as a whole.
