I personally enjoy this type of book from this author more than the much more straightforward action packed books. they are entertaining also and always have a sprinkling of bizarre but the thought that went into this book and what I took out of it was much greater than say Tribe or The Others. not knowing that all of these were supposed to go in series I have read or listened to many of the other future series books. Going through an order now allows some of those to make more sense. I highly recommend this book as well as his others. The voice acting was excellent also. I really did enjoy the two actor treatment.
