Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I'm a fan of both David Weber and Eric Flint. So I bought this one with great expectation. Three chapters in I gave up. Peter Larkin starts every sentence on with a strong assertive voice that trails off to a whisper by the end of the sentence. The effect is hypnotic and distracting in the extreme. He'd do a great infomercial but not a style that works for book narration. Additionally the editing at the end of each chapter is disturbing. The last line of a chapter is smashed up against the next chapter without any pause. So it sounds like the character speaking just said Chapter 3. Really annoying. Given all this I just returned the book.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Can't tell didn't suffer long enough to find out.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

See above

Could you see Crown of Slaves being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Don't know.

Any additional comments?

Pass on this one. Only the second book I ever returned.

What disappointed you about Supervolcano?

No plot, no excitement, depressing, I never write reviews. Avoid this one.

What could Harry Turtledove have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

The character are boring. I might has well as been browsing my families face book pages. He's writing for word count at this point. Page after page of look how cute the cat is. Yawn.

What aspect of Jim Frangione’s performance would you have changed?

He did fine. Nothing spectacular.

What character would you cut from Supervolcano?

All of them and start over.

Any additional comments?

Skip this one.
