I'll preface this post by saying this is possibly the first non-review review I'll do, because unlike that time I tried to read Martin Chuzzlewit and subsequently forgot why I like reading in the first place, I'm not going to waste an entire month trying to get through something this bad.
First of all, the narrator, one Michael Kramer, sounds bored to tears. Just listening to his voice makes my mind wander. I tried listening to this book twice, and both times, I got about a half hour through it before I realized I had no idea what was going on, no idea who the characters were, and no idea what they were talking about. Worse yet, I didn't care. What I did catch was such typical fantasy that I'm surprised this book was published in 2006 and not 1990. The thought of trying to get through 24+ hours of this audiobook makes me want to drive into oncoming traffic--and there's six more books in the series. Oh God.
In short, there's no shame in giving up on a book. This book is not for me, and makes me really appreciate Audible's return policy.
