I listened to the audio format of this book, and the production was pretty great. Having a full cast always makes a book more immersive and enjoyable, however this one jumped from character to character so frequently and without mention of who was talking I found myself scrambling in the first hour or so to remember which voice was which character. The narrators each had a unique sound, so this very well could just be a me problem. I'm curious how the distinction was made in the print format.
This audiobook reminded me a lot of Fantasticland- with the different voices and the interview style. To be clear the stories aren't remotely similar- just the format which I really love. I think the narrators were fantastic and fit the unique characters personalities.
As for the story- In really enjoyed the different character perspectives and getting different takes on the same story, as well as seeing how the different characters viewed each other. There was a lot of neat dynamics there.
In the beginning I was hooked. This story was wild and unique and I was really interested to see where it was going, but as I reached the climax and last two hours of the story I found myself just really bored. I feel like this one was a slow burn without enough of a payoff. I think I'd have DNFed if I read in print- the narration really carried me through the story.
