I was listening to the audiobook which was being narrated by the author. I believe this was a poor choice. Her voice did not carry well in making a distinction between characters and was very difficult to understand when switching between different characters. Also, when listening to the book, it seemed very disjointed and hard to follow. This may have been different if I were reading it in hand but that is not something that I have a lot of time for. A different narrator may have made a big difference for me but I think probably not.
