Interesting subject!

Liked the interesting subject and short story setup. Did NOT like the fake narrator at all. At times I could forget it was a fake narrator, then inevitably it would hit again. Every chapter it ground my nerves with the flat chapter names with no or wrong emphasis. Some words spoke with wrong context (live vs live, tsunami miss pronounced.) And the voice isn't fully normal. I wont listen to another one like this. It creeped me out. I found the history itself interesting. occasionally gruesome, but interesting!
