- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I really wanted to hear this book. But the narrator is the worst I've ever heard. Every phrase ends with an upward lilt, which, after the first paragraph, is infuriating. AND, he pronounces "especially" as "ex-pecially," and "escape" as "ex-cape." -- two words that were used very frequently. Hard to believe they allowed this person to narrate a book. It was absolutely unbearable, and it really makes me mad because, like I said, I really was interested in hearing this book. I just couldn't take it!!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The story was interesting, the narration was bland at most. I could’ve fallen asleep to the mellow and boring sound of the narrators voice. I kind of wish, that he could’ve used any inflection or feeling and his voice! Other than that, the story was pretty good.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good story. Narrator not so much. Monotone, mispronunciations, odd tempo.
