Liked it until I had to listen to Perlitz mischaracterize and complain about the rest of analytic work like a spoiled teenager. Too bad. You had something nice going until that. Unfollowed

I’m so happy that I happened on this book. If you like writers like Haruki Murakami you’ll love it. Beautifully woven fantasy and reality, coupled with philosophy. It’s like an amazing dream.

You have to read this. Excellent, touching story and wonderfully performed. Impossible not to love.

This is, so far, my favorite Mieville. It’s as creative and mind-bending as Embassytown while keeping a more understandable narrative.

This was a wonderful story, read wonderfully, but seriously damaged by music tracks that were inserted seemingly at random, didn’t fit the tone of the story, and were often so loud they drowned out the reader. They were also often really annoying, as if they were intentionally trying to recreate the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard.

This was so good. I was skeptical about translating a graphic novel to audio, but making it like a 40s radio serial was absolutely the right choice. A+++

It’s Murakami without the surrealism, which I don’t know if I would have chosen if I knew. But I’m so glad I read it. I’d say this is one of his most beautiful books.

I’ve heard Joe and Charlie in the past and love them. This version should not be sold. A large section from the middle is missing and several chapters repeat (I guess to make up the missing time). Don’t waste your money on this, I’ll be complaining to Audible for my money back.

i enjoyed the book very much, but the reading was unpolished and awkward. i would suggest reading the book before your attempt at recording it.

I don't know how many times I almost read this book before I finally did. It's a must read and I wish I had read it years ago.
