Q &A Text style not fitting for audio format

I don't know how the author compiled the text in this book but it feels like he emailed some generic questions to paranormal researchers of note and then pasted the text of those who replied. This format is not suited for an audiobook because there's never any flow of rhythm. Instead, it stops and starts haltingly like a failing engine.

To make matters even more crummy the reader "performs" all the text in the sort of flat and affectless voice you usually only hear in survivors of D-Day. It really is crazy awful. And then--because the universe is generous when serving up awful--the whole thing is recorded in what sounds like the empty cargo area of a frozen meat truck being driven down a highway.

Really alarmingly bad quality from the top to the bottom.

I love this book. I read it in print years ago and like a lot of King’s novels I expected to enjoy it in audio form as well. Weber gives a generally good performance when it comes to pace and characterization, however for some inexplicable reason he decided to SCREAM a third of the book. Ordinarily when the prose calls for raised voices or exclamation or even yelling—a capable narrator will adjust their delivery to sound strained. This keeps the levels uniform. I don’t know why, but the producer on this important book decided to forego this bit of standard, industry-practice and let the performer just YELL ALL THE LINES THAT CALL FOR ANY SORT OF EMPHASIS!!!! FID YOU GET THAT!!!??? DEAR READER!?? FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS!!!!!??? I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HEARD THE LIBE AND THAT YOUR NEIGHBORS HEARD IT TOO AND ALSO ANY POTENTIAL LIFE FORMS ON THE MOONS OF SATURN!!!

Holy hell its awful and grating. I had so many moments where I thought of looking up the hook credits just to find the company that made this thing so I could write a note to the producer.

Way to ruin a great book, Gang. Sorry:

WAY TO RUIN A GOOD BOOK, GANG!!!!!!
