Great story, narration could be better though.

Revisado: 03-16-24

The story was ripe to push all the dramatic, angry, happy and sappy buttons. I could envision the characters, see their lives, understand their motivations.

The narrating, however, left a little to be desired. Most of Greg Tremblay's voices were well done, but Cade spent most of the book sounding like someone with a cold. There were also parts I could tell he'd misread as he'd gone along, where he started a sentence, but he didn't realize it's modes and nuances until part-way through. I feel like, for these reasons, book chapters should be read silently before they're read audibly. The lack of pauses where a pause should be, obvious questions sounding like statements, and using a tone of voice that's inappropriate to the situation conveyed by the sentence are examples I came across in this reading. I don't feel like I have the voice for doing audiobooks, but if I did do audiobooks, I would read each chapter before I narrated it, and any mistake would force me to start over. I've also heard other readers yawn during their narrating, something else that's a little difficult to get past, though fortunately I didn't hear that and Greg Tremblay's work.

It's not enough to stop me from listening to further of his work, but since comments are able to be made, I felt perhaps it would be appropriate to also provide constructive criticism about the issues I noticed.
