Great story line but so painful

This was one of the most painful books I’ve gotten through.

The narration was like listening to Forrest Gump read you a bedtime story. The inflections of her voice- were probably very midwestern accurate- but made me want to claw my eyes out. Especially when she switched to the male voices.

The dialogue between characters had me rolling my eyes to the back of my head several times. I don’t know if it was just the narrators interpretation or the dialog itself that was so cringey.

BUT the story line was intriguing enough that I wanted to know what happened. The suspense and mystery were well planned and the cadence of the investigation was great.

The narrators voice and cadence was perfect. I appreciated hearing the proper pronunciation of the words. The story itself was fantastic, unpredictable and so well paced. Really impressed with this book

Not typically a fan of 1st person narratives- this story had me hooked and kept me guessing til the very end. One twist actually dropped my jaw.

The narrator has a beautiful tone and accent to his voice but the incessant swallowing/lip smacking and ultra slow robotic cadence was too off putting. I made it 5 minutes through the into before skipping to day 1 meditation because hearing. Something read. Like this. While giving. Instruction. Was awful. The meditation itself was a little better because the music drown out the swallowing/lip smacking sounds. The meditation itself was nice. I couldn’t do 16 days of this though.
