Narrator Issues

The narrator has problems with cadence, annunciation and pronunciation. It is “eh•nuh•muh” not “em•nah•muh.” Also, the book was WRITTEN and not “ridden” by C J Edwards. Lastly, it was read with a forced, quick cadence that did not account for any of the story line itself. Pauses were in wrong places, commas were ignored and most sentences were forced run-ons.

Awesome book! Wil Wheaton phones it in, though.

Would you consider the audio edition of What If? to be better than the print version?

No. The print version has all of Randall's awesome drawings in it. While the drawings are stick figures, they paint a very appropriate and sometimes necessary visual narrative to the story being told.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Relativistic Baseball or Spent Fuel Pool where my favorites. Although my favorite character of the web series, Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;-- (AKA Little Bobby Tables) did not appear, the text did not lack.

What aspect of Wil Wheaton’s performance would you have changed?

He did not use the right vocal inflection. Many times when a sentence was exclamatory, he waited till the last couple of words before his pitch changed. Much like a young/inexperienced reader following word-by-word without contextual understanding or pretext. "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog!" Read as, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dOG!"

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laughed out loud many, many times.

Any additional comments?

I like Wil Wheaton. He's a good guy. He just needed more practice and not use the cold read as the production release. He's got a good voice, so I'll give him another chance. But I'd listen to the book again and recommend it.

Would you consider the audio edition of Command and Control to be better than the print version?

Yes. The narrator did not only "read" the book, but provided queues and emphasis that captured my attention and painted a much richer picture than I could have by just reading it.

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

It was well rehearsed. You could tell the narrator knew the subject matter, at least to the extent to correctly pronounce everything and provide the necessary emphasis.

What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Good voice, pleasing tone, foreknowing the story to provide the proper emphasis and appropriate tone where needed.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

How close we came and how luck continues to play-out.
