This is one of my favorite reads, but the narrator is difficult to follow. Being respectful to both the narrator and the difficulty of the task, the rhythm of Mr. Brill's speech simply makes this book painful. I did try to slow the speed, but it doesn't help when the pause that should happen at commas, fails in its effect.

Get the book, but be careful with the narration.

Great Read, Bad Narrator
