Unabridged Audiobook
I was very disappointed with this audiobook. I had read a number of reviews of the printed book and they were impressive. However, I found this book, though initially interesting, lost its way. The story centers on how a traumatic discovery affects the young members of a family who had made the discovery, and had ramifications throughout their family. The premise is good but as the story went along, this idea seemed to get lost. There were developments in the story line which seemed to have no connection to the traumatic event and frankly, were not interesting. In addition the narration of this audiobook was poor. The narrator kept stressing passages in an odd way that broke up the flow. Also, three of the characters were teenage children and she read their dialogue as if they were three year-olds. Toward the end of the book, I looked up reviews of it again to see if the book had been written for teenagers - it hadn't. I don't know if I wondered this because of the reader's style, or if the book would have come across like that anyway. I would not recommend this book either in print or audio.
