it was ok
bookshelves: 2012, horror, sci-fi

A little disappointing and predictable in the plot twists, the audiobook would benefit from a new narrator. It's possible the dialogue and dialect would read better via text, but unfortunately the narrator maintains a slightly moist monotone throughout the book, creating a silly hackneyed tone for the protagonist (the comparison to The Dude was unnecessary, as were the other current pop culture references). I believed the narrator was Wil Wheaton, who should never be hired for audiobooks, but I can't find confirmation of that anywhere.

Nevertheless, there were nuggets of sharp pacing and suspense hidden here and there throughout the story, and while most of the turns were expected the telling of them wasn't as stale as anticipated. The book was "just OK" in my opinion, but I'm sure others will find it quite good, especially the text version.
