Harris is sublime and conveys his desired styles for the voices of the characters, revealing so much about their identities.

best audio book ever! Harris is sublime

This is an abridged version of the story so while good it misses some of the character development and scene setting delivered in the book

Note this is not the full book

I have loved reading this since I was 15, but hearing it being read and by the author almost makes you see the story in a whole new way. Love it

I was three hours in before I realised the story was moving much quicker than expected- it wasn’t obvious that this was an abridged version! I loved hearing Harris’s narration and the voices he gave to his characters, as well as his specific intonation on his excellent descriptions… but then it was over so quickly because there were 9 chapters missing! I didn’t realise it was worth a whole credit- Audible should make it much more obvious that this isn’t the whole original version because I feel quite cheated now.

Disappointed… but only in Audible
