Audiobook Read by Justis Bolding
Unabridged Length: 8.4 Hours
Listened at 2.25x Speed
Honestly, I don't know if I feel this way because I chose to listen at a faster tempo than normal, but I don't really have much to say about this audio. Ms. Bolding did a fine job in narration; the characters were distinct enough that I could tell who was talking, and her pacing was fine. I did appreciate the couple times Sweet Caroline was referenced that the "Dun dun dun" was actually said semi-melodically—it's not huge, but I definitely noticed and smiled at it, since it's something you don't often get in audios (copyright and whatnot).
Overall, the production was fine. Serviceable, but nothing to write home about. No major accents or non-English vocabulary to tackle, and honestly not much emotion to translate made this story pretty plain to adapt. And though I think I noticed two times in the entire audio where a word was different from the text, all in all that's pretty negligible. A solid audiobook for people who already enjoy the medium, but not one that's going to convert anyone.
