Quick read With great detail without fluff and prolonged storyline.

I am not a fan of AI audible books however; this was not the worst I’ve ever heard.

Terrible AI narration

Hated the narration, it was like a Van Gogh painting in black and white. It stripped the book of any authenticity. I had to read this book for book club or I would Never have plowed through it.
