It took me a long time to get through this book because I had to limit the amount of time I was able to tolerate narrator Joel Froomkin’s ACTING before my anxiety level went soaring. This man doesn’t seem to have an inside voice, much less a dimmer switch. He shouts, he whimpers, he EMOTES. Every line of dialog is supercharged with FEELINGS. It was EXHAUSTING!

I wish whoever makes casting decisions would go back to any of the female narrators who did such great work with Ms Rose’s previous books. I look forward to the one book a year from Karen Rose. What a sad thing it is for me to not enjoy it when I’m predisposed to love it.
