A deep and visceral novel which speaks volumes of our humanity. The Narrator was perfect. Thank you for your time!!

Brilliant book that is read exceptionally well

(5 stars)

The reader has a very clear and consistent tone of voice and appears to have a good understanding of the material as he reads. Emphasis, timing, and pace make this a very enjoyable book to hear for long road trips. The actual story itself is a masterpice btw. Kudos to Librivox for sharing all this fantastic literature!

Definitely the best book I've encountered

The readers tone, inflection and phrasing is incredibly inconsistent making this recording almost impossible to listen and retain anything you've heard. I have stopped this recording after Chapter 2, in hopes I can find a different reader somewhere else. If you can listen to "Seinfeld" read such an incredible book to you, this is the one for you. Otherwise, keep moving.

To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.

Parts of the novel were really gripping and exciting, while others were a bit slow. Overall a very interesting concept. The narration was clear and steady throughout. All the characters were read with the same voice, as opposed to other readers I have heard on this app that have a unique voice for each character. This made it a little difficult distinguishing which character was speaking at times. Very appreciative of all the effort the narrator went through to record this though!

Not what I expected, in a good way.

(5 stars)

I expected nihilism and existentialism. Instead, this book provides a riveting psychological study of how an ordinary person, with slightly above average intelligence and education, can trick himself into rationalizing evil. The protagonist plays devil's advocate against natural law and suffers for it. Explorations of God, suffering, ends justifying the means, conscience, poor circumstances, and mind games all come into the spotlight. Beautiful book, far more fascinating and hopeful than I expected.
