Elephant in the room

Reviewed: 09-13-24

Like most of the reviews you see here, I had a very hard time trying to get over the narrators presentation of the word SAID. It is absolutely obnoxious and really pulled a lot for focus away from the story. I almost gave up on this book because of it. I did see a suggestion in the reviews to change the audio speed to 1.2x and it seemed to help the hard use of the word SAID a little but really you just have to get used to it and eventually you won't notice it much anymore.

That being said, I will not say that the narrator did a bad job overall. He did a very good job of making each character unique sounding, and did a very good job of putting emotion behind the characters words.

The story itself is interesting enough to where I will definitely listen to the next book. it really left you with more questions than answers, which is fine because I feel like it will bleed nicely into the next book. Over all I would say it is worth the read/listen minus the SAID thing.
