This book was different from my usual choices but I was intrigued by the promo. It turned out to be an interesting diversion taking me into a world I could never imagine. The narrator was engaging and amazing in her use of different accents.

Last girls in the world and women are the problem??? Did no one take sex Ed in high school? The male determines the sex of a child. Last girls in the world , last hope for humankind, and they are treated like prisoners? Really?? This is one of the few books I couldn't even force myself to finish.

Bad editing job

Is there anything you would change about this book?
The book had an interesting premise and Preston and Child were very good at keeping our FBI agent Pendergast as quirky and enigmatic as ever. I did not like Jonathan Morosz's reading. It sounded like reading, with little difference in voices and Pendergast's southern dialect really poorly done. But the most irksome part of listening to this book was the numerous miscues with editing. Whole sections were read twice, which would jolt me from the story every time.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jonathan Marosz?
I enjoy Dick Hill's performances. Scott Brick also comes to mind. Don't know who edits these, but definitely needed a better editor!
Was The Cabinet of Curiosities worth the listening time?
Although fairly predictable, I enjoyed the story.
