It was okay?

Revisado: 10-23-17

Were I actually reading a physical copy of Life Without a Net, I would've put it down before the end of the first story. While I usually enjoy stories like these, the writing was just so stiff and incredibly stilted it became hard to realise some of these characters were real people.
I've studied language and the way people speak for years and almost no one talks like this. It immediately jerks me out of even thinking that these could be real people.
I've always been told that the goal of writing is to make your audience believe that this could be happening. I never felt that.

The one reason I stuck this out was the audio polish James Oliva put into the narration, the reverb, the vocal touches... I mean all the women sound pretty much the same which is unfortunate, but James is at a bit of a disadvantage there. And there's the tiny bit that James is bad at self-harmonizing, but who isn't. Of course I do sort of wish that James had made the spacing between paragraphs or bits of narration a little longer/more pronounced. It made it hard to follow sometimes, but overall, a good performance, and arguably the best part about this audiobook.
