The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

Wayfarers, Book 1

De: Becky Chambers

Narrado por: Rachel Dulude

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet has descriptive copy which is not yet available from the Publisher.

Unbearable narrator.

Don't know how good the story is, didn't make it that far. I cannot stand the narrator. Ridiculous pauses between every.... tiny..... piece........... of punctuation. I can't stand it.

I'm in love.

This wonderfully fun, character driven story is reminiscent of Firefly with a dash of Babylon 5 thrown in and yet it still managed to be new and fresh. I am in love with the crew and this book.

Distracting narration

It's a bummer that the narration takes away from this otherwise fun, engaging listen. While her voice is great, the performer uses a strange cadence that often has her putting emphasis on the wrong word or phrase. So much so that I regularly found myself getting confused and having to replay the sentence in my mind, or even in life, in order to puzzle out the intended meaning. It's incredibly distracting and eventually really frustrating.
It's a shame because the story is engaging and there are several cool themes explored via the various main characters and subplots. Except for being somewhat sweary at times it reads rather like a young adult novel - in a good way. I recommend the book, but not this audio production of it. Best enjoyed in text format.

Fun space opera but narration issues

This is a character-driven space opera, and I enjoyed the story very much. Ms. Dulude's accents and inflection were excellent, but the narration had some strange pauses that marred the pacing.

interesting

I enjoyed listening to this book. it kept my attention throughout. I recommend it to others
