This audiobook has been an eye opener for me. I have read some of the negative reviews but went ahead with the purchase. I found the story to be absolutely brilliant and the characterisations are outstanding. The alternating readers was simply wonderful and the story wasn't difficult to follow at all, although the flow isn't the usual linear path. What I learned from this is that you will always get some listeners who are not satisfied due to some reason or other that may not affect you at all, so take reviews as a very rough guide only, each listener will get something different from every story, and the reviewers are only offering opinions.

I love long audiobooks. The longer the better (I have a long commute and go through 10 hours of listening minimum each week) but this was just horrible. Perhaps it reads better than it listens, but the narrators (particularly the male) has managed to make Henry an unsympathetic character with his droll almost sarcastic inflections. The pointless and lengthy detail on relatively minor points and dream sequences left me tuning out for long periods of time. For such a long audiobook, I never developed any sense of empathy for the characters, and left me cold with a lack of real personality, motive, or humanity. They felt artificially constructed and unrealistic. I simply didn't care what happened to them and struggled to get through this audiobook. My only real emotion at the end (and even that felt pointlessly overexamined to the point of desperation in an attend to make the reader/listener care) was relief that I could move on to the next book in my library. As noted by other reviewers, the language is at times startling (most notably the casual use of the "C" word, particularly when used by Clare)--and even that feels like a failed literary attempt at making the characters "real." It's just pointless. I chose this book based on a fair number of really positive reviews--and it's hard for me to believe those reviewers are even talking about the same piece of overwrought, overwritten drivel I listened to.

Very interesting concept for a book. Good storyline and character development. Sometimes a bit tough to follow, but it has a good pace. A little too predictable for such an unusual story. Good narration

Wow, one of the best audiobooks I've listened to in a while. I had a long drive and this made it pass so fast, because I was so involved in the story. Both narrators were excellent. I highly reccomend it, but probably only if you are listening alone because I got pretty choked up!

Absolutely loved listening to this audiobook, entertaining and humorus, even though the main character was going from one time to another you could always stay on track, hope writer does a sequel re the daughter.
