Great continuation of this gripping story

The narrator's reading style is a little irritating, with a deep, nasal whine which ends each sentence with a drawling, husky, long drawn out macho cowboyish low note, like the Marlboro Man, as if he's doing a voice over for something mysteriously manly and over-dramatic. It does sound a bit wanky and quickly gets hard on tbe ears. But apart from that, he is great at all the accents and gives each character a distinctly different voice. He has changed the pronunciation of Tzion Ben Judah's nane from "Zion" to "Tzeeyone". As a British reader, I do find the American pronunciations a little distracting ("Gala" pronounced "gayla", "elite" becomes "Ayleet", "horror" is now "haarrr" and "buoyed" changes from "boyd" to "booeed"). But aside from all that, it's a fantastic story, he's very expressive and the characters are realistic, believable and lovable. Toddler Kenny Bruce seems to spend an unrealistic amount of time sleeping! One main criticism: slightly repetitive on certain things. Everybody's phone "chirps" (as if they all have the exact same message tone) and the authors don't appear to know any other words for "said". "he said", "she said", nobody replies , answers, confirms, exclaims etc. Shame.
Each book seems to get shorter and shorter as well, even though they are all the same price, which seems a bit of a rip off.
