"Great book"
I'm not much into fiction books but this one popped up on the front page of audible.com so i read the review and bought the book. Two days later a I was done with the 10 or so hours of audio. This is quite an accomplishment since it typically takes me around a month to finish any book. The plot kept me tuning in at any chance I got. The guy that read it did a very good job, I wish I could have him read all the audio books that I buy. It was well written too. All around a very good buy.
"Narrator turns this awesome book into a total dud"
When listening to an audiobook, I need to feel the narrators passion in order to get much out of the book. If they gave try-outs for the narrator, they picked the guy in dead last. That being said, I do feel that the content of the book, if it were to be read by someone else, would make for a great book. So buy a hard copy and have your spouse read it to you. (unless your married to the current narrator)
