Tracy H. (FiberBabble) -
This review is for the abridged audio cassette version of the book. You don't need another description of the plot, because you can find it in multiple reviews already.
This was a good read (listen). Abridging the novel to approx. 3 hours was a bit severe - there were quite a few jumps in "detection" that were probably explained more believably in the book.
I can see how this has the potential to be pretty creepy in its full figure.
The reader was not intrusive - I didn't find myself noting emphasis in unexpected places (which is unfortunately quite common in audio books), and the different "voices" to indicate different characters weren't ridiculous. I had no preconceived notion of how the main character should sound, so it was fine with me.
I definitely recommend this book - though a longer version will probably be more satisfying.
