Mixed Bag

I love where this book is coming from and it’s literary style. Unfortunately the initial momentum of the audible version is killed immediately by the constant switching between several of the most dry/monotonous narrators I’ve ever heard on audible, who also vary in speed to a laughable degree. I found it very difficult to drive listening to this without feeling drowsy or having to slow down/speed up the narration from section to section.

Good story but as ti heard once. Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle. Some concerts are better, but, imo , this isn’t on one of them.
