Story OK, Narration Not So Much

While the story was a bit too long for me, I thought it was interesting enough to keep my attention. However, the narration, especially in the first half of the story was incredibly manic and too over the top to make the story believable. I really like Al Roker on the Today Show, and I find his normal voice to be pleasant. However, I almost stopped listening to this book because the narration was at times quite annoying. A few chapters from the end, I realized I was no longer distracted by the narration. I don’t know if I just got used to it or if Mr. Roker settled down and finally became comfortable with his role as narrator.

Wonderful..

Al Roker does literature with class. I love the way he develops the story. While it has a LOT of chapters. it is well worth the journey. Looking forward to the next read.
