not nicely printed or well bound. Of course, that is because it was on a
file I downloaded to my iPhone. I listened to it instead of reading it >because I listen to stuff when I am doing my organlegger job or working
in the yard.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is narrated by Wil Wheaton. Mr. Wheaton did
a good job, but should have done better differentiating the various
voices. Also, the producers should have also hired a female voice to do
the female characters and maybe the dolphins and the cats.
It was fast paced with lots of twists some of which were predictable
others, not so much.
I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. I enjoyed it more than "Redshirts"
but not as much as "Old Man's War".

I guess it's a matter of taste. I personally would not want a book
read as some sort of multi-character drama with multiple voices.

It's the only way I can manage it. Straight reading of a book turns into
word salad in my head after about two sentences and I don't retain any of it.

Interesting. Here's how I read on long trips when I am driving:
