I practically binged the book! The story and narrator were awesome, I highly recommend. Cannot wait to start the next one!

Very entertaining

I was unable to complete it. The characters lack authenticity, and a significant portion of the story could have been omitted if they would just talk to each other. The use of character arrogance as a plot device is frustrating as hell.

DNF

I couldn’t enjoy this audio book due to all the paraphrasing even what the characters where saying didn’t match the book at all.

Audio is not what is in the book

I hate to give up on things but this story goes dreadfully sideways with a Pokemon component. Ugh. Otherwise is was okay.

Pokemon? Seriously?
