I loved the vast cast of characters, spread throughout the world. Great plot, wonderful narrator. Although the lead character was arrogant and very rude in his dealings with others, His storyline was brilliant.
This will be my third listen/read of this book over the years. Great narrator.

Great listen

The verbose writing style and unnatural dialogue obstructs a complex and entertaining story with memorable characters. If I was reading it myself, rather than listening, I would've given up early on. That might be just a personal thing though because I prefer more succinct prose and dialogue that I could imagine real people saying.

well performed, good story but hard work.
