Unabridged Audiobook
Another great offering from Grady Hendrix. As in My Best Friend's Exorcism, he delicately walks the line between having something to say--in this case, about the surveillance state, soul-sucking corporate power, and the redeeming potential of inspiration and honest art--and not taking taking himself or his characters too seriously. And the terror and the gore always work because they are integral to a compelling story. The gritty voice of the narrator fits perfectly with the main character, and she does a great job conveying emotion and terror. Her range doesn't quite allow for distinct voices for different characters, especially the men, but that is not a huge drawback. In a way, it fits with the story.
I listened to the book "My Best Freinds Exersum" written by the same author and loved it. I thought I would listen to more books written by him. The book itself is not all that bad & I'm a heavy metal fan, so I could really get down with the metal aspect of this book. I do like it wasn't the same old bs about selling your soul and how the author put a much-needed spin on it. (Well Done) However, the narration was not so good. It most definitely wasn't the worst I've heard, but it was lacking in some aspects. So, as my grandmother would say "It's like your draws, it's up to ya." :)
This narrator sounds like she smokes 10 packs a day. Listen to the preview before you buy. The story is ok.
