A simple children's book narrated by a robot
I winced. I cried. I moaned. I cried.
Imagine a book that was a script for a children's play where the student's would walk onto a stage and just talk to each other in a flat monotonous tone. The description in this book is so minimal. I wonder if you can copy and paste it into anywhere in the world and it wouldn't matter. My first line refers to the way the book is mostly verbatim. It's mostly speech or flow of thoughts from one character to another. E.g "I said this, he said that." It's dull. The amount of times name dropping happens is mind-numbing. Thus, be prepared to be bored.
The chapter names are named after the character who will be speaking for the whole chapter. So if you ever wanted to go back to a certain chapter, good luck with that since the chapter names are repeated.
The characters are variable which is alright but some are very stereotypical. As if it was a Dungeons and Dragons game and each role needed to mentioned. A flamboyant slut, a crippled jock, a black stud, a handsome straight. This is alright but I feel the characters could have had a bit more background.
Tyler and Percy and most of the other characters, all blend into one rational person. And with the narration, they all sound the same boring dad/responsible and rational figure that 90% of this book becomes a lecture on how to deal with relationships and loss.
There was one glimpse of hope within the last 40 minutes of the audiobook. There was a description of a river. And I was actually surprised that some description was made to give context of surrounding. And actually the last 40 minutes seemed to be the better part of the book. All the previous seemed to be like a linear stacking of story where nothing exciting was happening and the past keeps getting repeated.
TLDR: You could probably skip this one.
