For the first time since starting to listen to audiobooks, I turned the speed up, just a little, and I didn't hate it. Just 1.5 times. I can't stand 2x, I've tried that before.
3.5 out of 5 stars! I enjoyed it, had a good time, it was interesting. I'll probably continue with the series. I'd like to give the TV show a try also. I could see a lot of this happening in my mind's eye, and I'd like to see how others envisioned it.

It had been years since he’d tried to find work … Now that events had thrown him out [of his job], everything had an odd floating feeling. Like the gap between getting hit and feeling the pain.
Similarly, Corey’s portrayal of moral complexity through Holden is spot on. As Holden grapples with the consequences of his actions, Corey captures a very human cognitive response:
Holden decided that he was okay with not feeling any remorse for them. The moral complexity of the situation had grown past his ability to process it, so he just relaxed in the warm glow of victory instead.
The OPA man, Anderson Dawes, was sitting on a cloth folding chair outside Miller’s hole, reading a book. It was a real book—onionskin pages bound in what might have been actual leather.
Miller had seen pictures of them before; the idea of that much weight for a single megabyte of data struck him as decadent.

The plot is pretty good; pacing is pretty good. They build drama and tension without being too hacky.
The ending is interesting
