Luckily I tend to purchase both the digital and audio versions of a book at the same time! When I first started listening to this book, I didn’t know if it was the writer or the reader that made the book so hard to listen to. After spending time reading the book, I now know the problem is Not the author – it is the narrator. The delivery is completely flat and uninvolved – painfully so. Please do not waste your money on the audio version, it hurts to listen to it.
