I listened to this years ago as a rental from Books in Motion. I wish they just used the same recording. The narrator on this version is bland, vs the rental which had a full cast. The book is still good and worth listening to.

It was boring.

The narrator seemed a bit lazy, like he was reading rather than acting.

Yes

Introduction of the quaddies and analogy to discrimation against any minority.

He was very good.

No

None

There were some interesting chracters but frankly I wish I hadn't bought this book. While the characters were intersting they just didn't match teh story's idea in my opinion. Perhaps I had trouble sympathizing with the characters but I just wanted the book over with.
