I’ll start by saying the narrator does not do the author any favors. The conversations are meshed together and really don’t align with the seriousness of the situation.
The author does a good job in laying out the scenery and the story isn’t bad. It starts slow and does have a ton of character conversations that do nothing for the story and makes some of the events drag on.
The absolute worst part is the unimaginative reader. His voice is calm and collected throughout the whole story. It’s flat and bland. The guy has an awesome voice, it would have been nice if he had included a bit of energy while reading.
This one took me a long time to get through. I stopped it a number of times because I was truly annoyed by the boring back and forth between the characters.
