Great Story, Difficult Narration

Revisado: 09-12-17

The tale is great, but the voicing is awkward. The choice appears to have been made to give the story's narrator a robotic intonation (or if not a choice in performance, then a choice of performer), but that makes things hard to listen to and comprehend. Especially since the framing and structure of the story are so disjointed to begin with (a single POV that contains multiple POVs all at once), any further impediment to the listener's comprehension is not a good choice.

I loved the story, but unfortunately had to work around the performer to do so.

Good Story, Nearly Undercut by Racing Narrator

Revisado: 04-20-16

As frequently happens with me, I listened to the audio of this novel when I couldn't read the actual text. Problem? When I was reading myself, I enjoyed the story more. It felt a little like the narrator was speeding through the text, and wasn't allowing the story to breathe. As a result, when I listened to the story, things seemed to blur together and I didn't care as much what happened to the characters. When I read, however, the writer's voice was much clearer, and while the novel itself still has a few narrative and character issues, allowing the author to express his story was a better choice than listening to the narrator interpreting it.
