I typically do not leave such poor reviews but I had to for this book. First, altought the narrator has a pleasant voice his ability to switch his voice between characters is non-existent which makes it very difficult to follow in the book. Second, I always appreciate a strong female character but Barb is a total b! @*h. She has the social skills of a 5 yo and is annoying as all get out. All she does is put down every person she comes in contact with. She has no redeeming qualities besides fighting. I wonder if the author secretly hates women.
