From a Dead Sleep

By: John A. Daly

Narrated by: Chiquito Joaquim Crasto

Few residents in the small, secluded mountain town of Winston, Colorado, have kind words to say about Sean Coleman. He's a bully, a drunk, and a crime show-addicted armchair detective with an overactive imagination. After a night of poor judgment, Sean finds himself the sole witness to the unusual suicide of a mysterious stranger. With the body whisked away in the chilling rapids of a raging river, no one believes Sean's account. Tormented over the doubts and mockery of the people of Winston, Sean embarks on a far-reaching crusade that takes him across the country in search of the dead man's identity and personal vindication. At the end, he hopes to find redemption and the truth - but sometimes the truth is better left unknown. There are times when the truth invites evil. There are times when the truth can get you killed.

Sounds like he is reading from the bottom of a can

The performer has an accent and sounds like he is reading inside a tin can. I could not get past chapter 1 listening to his clipped Russian accent from far away..

Odd Choice of Narrator

Great story, odd choice of narrator. Why choose a narrator for whom American English (the language/dialect of the book’s characters) is not their first language? It was distracting. Also, the production value was poor. Many excerpts throughout the book sounded louder or quieter than others, and some excerpts seemed to be “spliced in.”

painful

I could not finish. The narration was painful to listen to. Sounded mechanical. Impossible to follow the story.

A. terriffic book!

T this is an awesome book. HOWEVER performance is awful! The reader has a heavy accent and can't pronounce the words. Don't waste money on paying for audible.

Boring

no story development, right into detail about fingernails. speaker was able to raise the level of boring by speaking in a sing song flat voice broken only by miss pronouncing words!
