Do yourself a favor and read this on your own. Humans don't speak like that - no one (thank God) has that breathy a voice. The only thing worse than his voice was the narration of her voice. The only reason I made it within a few chapters of the end was because I was trapped on a long flight with nothing else to listen to. The story itself might not be that bad, but I could not focus on anything but how much I hated his voice. I sped the book up as much as I could handle, and still I could not take his delivery. The over-dramatization of absolutely everything was unreal. It served to make every sentence, even the most mundane, "She went to the cabinet." sound ominous, and it irritated me to no end. I understand that it's a dramatic book on a dramatic topic, but he speaks SO SLOWLY and the way that he lowers the inflection of his voice at the end of every sentence was ridiculously annoying to me. His voice grated from the first second I heard it, and I never got used to it. I actually think I might have liked this book if I'd read it myself, and might just do that.
