I found myself being so irritated by the simpering tone of the performer (style very similar to Keith Morrisen’s narration of Dateline) that I to take long breaks from this book and constantly remind myself that the content what much more thoughtful and direct than the over the top and laden with ‘deep’ meaning narration. If you like that style or can look over it easily, the audiobook is a good choice. Otherwise, get a physical copy so you don’t have to combat the tone.

Very male POV. Female characters only exist as objects of desire, status, or mothers. Lots of old boy blather. Couldn’t wait for it to be over.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

People who listen to books without multitasking.

Would you be willing to try another book from Derek B. Miller? Why or why not?

Yes, I don't think the story was necessarily the problem.

What didn’t you like about Sean Mangan’s performance?

If you listen to audiobooks while driving or exercising as I do, this book is a bad choice. The narrator speaks in a monotone which make it hard to keep focused on the story line. I kept finding myself completely disengaged from the book with no idea who the characters were or what their motivations were. This never happens to me, it's definitely the story, the narrator, or both. I''m laying most the blame on the narrator.
