"Special praise for narrator Anna Fields."
The narrator is exceptionally good. I usually dislike performance audio. Generally, I would rather just hear the story in a normal reading voice: no distracting accents meant to distinguish one character from another, no dramatization with the narrator imposing their idea of where the points of emphasis should be, none of the invariably oafish-sounding male voices from female narrators, none of the female voices from male narrators that always sound somehow weak and mocking. Narrator Anna Fields reads like someone who effortlessly gets what is great about the writing of Chuck Palahniuk. Incidentally, I find her voice strangely reminiscent of Ellen Degeneres.
