About this listen
Award-winning science-fiction mastermind Kenneth Johnson blends epic adventure, romance, and evocative drama into an intense supernatural thriller rooted in one of the great untold legends of human history.
New York City, New Year's weekend, 2001. Jillian Guthrie, a troubled young journalist, stumbles onto a tantalizing mystery: the same man, unaged, stands alongside Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, and Gandhi in three different photographs spanning eighty-five years of history.
In another part of town, Will - an enigmatic thirty-three-year-old of immense charm, wit, and intelligence - looks forward to the new year with hope and trepidation. Haunted by his secret past and shadowed by a dangerous stranger, he finds himself the object of an intense manhunt spearheaded by an ambitious Vatican emissary and an elderly former UN envoy named Hanna.
During the next forty-eight hours, a catastrophic event unites Will, Jillian, and Hanna - and puts them in the crosshairs of a centuries-old international conspiracy. Together, the three must unravel an ancient curse that stretches back two millennia and beyond, and face a primal evil that threatens their lives and thousands more.
The full list of narrators includes: Eric Pierpoint, Emily Adams, Stephen Mendel, Alexis Evans, Kerrie Keane, Jackson White, Terri Treas, Francesca Ling, Jackie Mah, Jeff Marcus, Kenneth Johnson, Nelson Estevez, and Susan Appling.

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact.

The bodies of four men have been discovered in the town of Bradfield. Enlisted to investigate is criminal psychologist Tony Hill. But profiling the psychopath is not beyond him. Hill's own past has made him the perfect man to comprehend the killer's motives. It's also made him the perfect victim. A game has begun for the hunter and the hunted. But as Hill confronts his own hidden demons, he must also come face-to-face with an evil so profound he may not have the courage—or the power—to stop it.

Story
Alma Katsu calls My Heart Is a Chainsaw “a homage to slasher films that also manages to defy and transcend genre.” On the surface is a story of murder in small-town America. But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life.

Amazing performance
Narration by a full cast was what got me interested in the first place, actually. Each chapter is narrated by a different character and all are related to the main story.
Main concerns, plot-wise, are that it takes very long for things to start making sense, and that there is sexual abuse/assault which I do not like to read/listen to so descriptively (as in, not hard data but actual description).
On the bright side, the multiple perspectives and the mystery/sci-fi aspect would make this an excellent TV/Netflix series!

Listen to it at 1.25x
A well told and interesting take on the legend. Perhaps a few to many Forrest Gump-esque coincidental meetings and deeds, but that's really a minor factor.
I would recommend listening to this at a slightly increased speed. At normal speed, everyone seems to be reading at an intentionally slow pace. Sped up to 1.25x, it seemed to flow at a speed similar to other audio books.

Yet another disappointing rant about Christianity
The story was intriguing but just led down the path to an ignorant rant about all Christianity since AD 400.

An Immortal running from the Church
An intriguing story about a man of all ages who has fled mentions of Rome century after century. Will is a champion of good time and again trying to free himself from “the curse.” Although abuses of the Catholic Church over two millennia provided the backdrop for Will’s history, the anti-Catholic bias was at times irritating. The author uses many vignettes from Will’s history to show how he has been a force for good. Unfortunately, those stories were taken to the extreme. How could anyone be in the right place at the right time as often as Will. How could Will have become friends with so many important people when he could spend no more than three days in any one place.

Great book and readers
We thoroughly enjoyed the story. And for an audiobook having so many actors playing the parts truly made the book come to life. I hope more audiobooks do the same.

I loved this reading of this incredible story. The various performances came together so well. I was fully engrossed and pulled in. Unbelievable enough to be believed. I remain a great fan of Mr. Johnson's work.

Original
Loved the story, but the narrator's Jamaican accent and the author's use of what HE perceives Jamaican syntax were awful and inaccurate. Insulting, actually. Almost ruined it for me. If a Caribbean character is used again, for the love of all that is holy, PLEASE consult a native in the proofreading process. Otherwise, the story was amazing. I hope there's a sequel. I'd love to see the progress of the protagonist.
