Good story. Terrible narration.

Came to this from "Joe Ledger: Unbreakable," and a crossover story written by BTS and performed by Ray Porter. Was hoping for so much more with this title.

The writing is good. Characters are unique and well defined. The portrayal of the characters and dialogue is engaging and a strong point. However....

What the story and characters bring, the performance of the narration and exposition between dialogue is terrible and distracting. It sounds so rushed that I checked to make sure my playback was not set faster than normal. It sounds like a convention of run on sentences without the helpful pause of punctuation. Frequently the narration jumps scenes within a chapter and you're not aware until 3 sentences later.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
