The story was above average, the performance was fair but certainly lacked talent of characters. But all of that still was good enough to listen to for 21 hours and then it’s like the author was simply tired of writing. I mean I have never read a book come to such a screeching halt. Almost like the writer was about to get caught or he was getting scolded by his wife to get out of the garage and come to dinner. Because he just ends it wraps 21 hours of listening into about 2 minutes of a ending. I have been more disappointed in a reading but never after listening for so long. Up to and including the 3rd to the last minute the story could have gone in so many directions but even the character Anna no reason what so ever to even write about her just to have her drown as a way of ending that story line. Should have just went back and taken her out of the story and saved me an hour or two of wasted listening. So it was clear the author never intended to stop. This book like this. Really stupid and disrespectful of my time. I am pissed .
