Joel Leslie – WOW. You killed this. There was no point when I didn’t entirely believe that there were multiple people talking in this story! If it wasn’t edgy enough, you added so much tantalizing emotion that it became impossible to listen while driving or doing anything other than listen. Well done. This is a performance that was much more than narration! Bravo
Composer Cole McCade – Although I heard good things about this story at the time it was published in spring of 2018, I also knew that this was a quick ‘action/reaction’ to the behavior of a self-described ‘best-selling’ author previously unknown to me.
I dare say that I’ve read enough that I don’t imagine there are too many best-selling authors who are unknown to me, at least with name recognition.
There were a few medical details that weren’t quite right but as the author proclaimed, this was intended to be satire. I won’t provide specifics as not everyone would be pulled out of the story by unlikely events.
I’ve seen the word gobsmacked in stories and have never used or heard the word used in real life. I was gobsmacked. This story was emotion-packed and provocative. I wouldn’t have expected this to have so much of an own-voices flavor but this only adds to the performance art presented by this extremely talented duo, wordsmith McCabe and actor Leslie.
I listened to this on audible and now I will buy the book. It’s that good.
