Last 40 Hours Read Like a Deposition

Oh my. I wanted to love this book because I absolutely loved the shorter versions, one read by Nadia May, another by Robin Lawson, etc. That's two I can think of right away. This book starts out excellently, although the narrator is decent, he's not right for this book. But in all honesty, I don't know who would be save a British narrator. This book demands a strong British voice. That's one problem. And then the length is another major problem. It's a good idea in theory to have it this long, but it doesn't play out well. The first 20 hours one can follow because it reads like the other versions. But then, just as if it appears it's going well, the book devolves into a back-and-forth, question-and-answer deposition style reading. And this is where it gets impossible to follow. This is also where the narrator loses the reader completely. It's not his fault. It's just that choppy. So...go with the shorter versions. They are classics and completely life changing. They cannot be recommended more highly.
