Enjoyable story with a mesmerizing Irish voice of a narrator. He is quite a good singer.

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

The Book

The story for this short was OK, it shows how sometimes fantasising about what could be can lead to bad outcomes for us.
The Production

The narrator did good character voices that flowed naturally and lent themselves well to the story, he even sang small portions which takes some real guts to do even on a recording! His narration outside the characters speech suffered from a clipped manner where he was trying to be too precise with his words, with a bit of experience he'll improve and give a good well rounded performance.
