I think the lack of the overarching plot of the original series showed in this book, or maybe it's just that I'm at a different point in my life, no longer reading these to my son. But this one fell a bit flat. |

Not a great audio performance. Strange choice to have it narrated by a woman when most of the POV is from men. And the narrator couldn't do much with character differentiation. Just the same dumb sounding lower pitch. |
