A short sly funny story... absolutely plausible 😜 the narration is spot on. Have a listen 👍

Excellent fun!

Narrator sounds like a robot every time he says "he said" /"she said"/"X said". this happens at the end of almost every sentence making this impossible to listen to.

awful narration "he said"

It's funny and clever, like all recent Scalzi releases. He produces quality sci-fi thrillers pretty reliably.

"Jefferson said", "he said", "he asked" Gahhhh!

I know Scalzi is known for this but it never bothers me in any other book/audio book. It's only about 40 minutes, instead of several hours like most others, but I really struggled to get through it! It was almost as if Mr Ochlan was emphasising "he said" more than the actual dialogue! Painful.

I normally like his performances, but this was truly awful (sorry dude). Get Wil Wheaton to re-record and I'm sure it'll be awesome ;)

Acceptable if not for the god awful performance

One of his best. I laughed out loud and thoroughly enjoyed it. Brilliant story and well read.

AMAZING!
