Publisher's Summary

Surrounded by secrecy, it is home to the wildest dreams and darkest nightmares. Incredible amounts of money have been lavished on it. The best minds of two generations have labored to build it. And somehow, bit by bit, it is claiming the Earth's most valuable resource - its children.

I was entertained

I have read the series before a long time ago and wanted to revisit the story. The audiobook performance was well done and I enjoyed it as much as I did in printed form. Throughly entertaining.

Good long book

Fairly inventive and well rounded. The slow pace is filled with entertaining characters and scenes. A reasonably satisfying choice if you're looking for an extra long book/series to fill time. Looking forward to seeing where the characters end up.

The performance of national accents is amazing

Reading for the second time, I find the pacing of the action much more enjoyable. I remember wanting so much for it to rush on, when I was young. As far as narration, the reader is an excellent choice actor; the small flaws in his rendering of the descriptive passages actually helps me to stay on top of the action.
