Critiques

Great reader, complicated story


(4 stars)

The reader did an amazing job, thank you. I found this story a bit hard to follow with many characters. Had I listened to it in one or two sessions, it would have been better. The ending was great and nicely explained the mystery.

long story but dissatisfying


(2.5 stars)

great reader. well done. my complaint is with Wallace. Tommy's bungling and the romantic confusion took up far too much of the narrative but with little comedic punch to compensate. the final clash and wrap-up were rushed and loose ends left to dangle.
