I have to say first that this was not what I expected after reading prior reviews. I expected some serious issue with narration and the Middle Eastern accent that has been mentioned so much. To my surprise that was maybe 1% of the audio, and that might be an exaggeration. While I agree that it was certainly not a true accent it was such a small part of the book it really didn’t matter. I rather enjoyed the narration. It wasn’t perfect, but it was pleasant and appropriate to the story.

My biggest complaint would be that the story didn’t really seem to know what it wanted to be. Am I a thriller? A documentary? A love story? Or, am I about Native Americans and spiritualism? It was never really completely any of those things. That isn’t a big complaint. They did all fit together. But, it felt like there were opportunities missed by not exploring some of these paths more fully. One reviewer found the story sexist. It is just my opinion but I find that to be not true at all.

While a bit slow at times with technical and procedural details this information was necessary to tell the story and it was probably handled as well as possible. These sections are written and narrated in a manner that is easy to follow even if the material is a little dry. This is primarily early in the story and later sections have plenty of action and suspense.

I thought the ending seemed a little rushed and, for my taste, left a little too much to the imagination. Other listeners may prefer that type ending. Personally I was a little disappointed, but again not a big complaint. Stories do not always end the way I would prefer.

Overall I would recommend this audiobook. It is not going to win awards, but it is enjoyable, entertaining, and has a little bit of something for everyone.
