I was looking forward to reading/listening to this book and it started about as weird as I had expected. Then it lost me. I was unable to get into it. I felt that it could have been about half the size and made a greater impact. The narration was a little lackluster for me as well. I tried speeding it up but it didn’t help much. I loved the decent into madness and the little twists here and there, but I thought there was too much repetitive filler in between to satisfy me. Don’t get me wrong, there were some really interesting parts in there. I loved the “flashbacks” and James chatting it up with his ancestors. The relationships in the book were burdensome, however.
This book was given to me for free at my request for my voluntary and unbiased review.
