Badly written, Badly Narrated

Do they even audition these narrator's This is one of the worst I've listened to. Probably not that bad of a book but writing is poor. The dialogue is very unnatural and preaching.

Performance is sub par

The variety of the performance takes away from the story line. I could not get past the first 45 minutes

Hated it

I expected something like a Dean Koontz novel, but storyline just veered off the rails.

Frankly, I found it terrible. Even in science fiction, there has to be a level of plausibility for the story to work. Things need to make sense and elements still need to fit together, even within the fantasy environment. You can’t just create a ridiculous premise and expect readers to get on board with fantastical storylines just because it’s sci-fi.

The characters had no depth, the interaction between the individuals was not natural, conversations were ludicrous at times (example: “I made an appointment with the doctor for 10 o’clock”, “in the morning?”, “no, at night, silly!”) and the developments of peoples’ concerns over matters was in hyper-drive.

I only made it to the end because I was not in the mood to read anything else.

Just awful!

The story is poorly written. The dialogue is stilted and the narration unnatural. Don’t waste your time or money.
