I have listened to these several times and each time is always a treat.
All the characters just make the story come alive. The details really suck you in and I just lose myself. The only thing that annoyed me throughout the series is making Cole sound so old, like one foot in the grave! He’s not even 60 yet!!! As I get closer to 50 , that is less and less old.
Joel does a phenomenal job with all the accents, from American to Russian.
