Great start, then meh.

I was intrigued by the story's synopsis. It sounded very different, and it certainly was. I was hooked immediately. The author jumped into the action and kept it going. However, after about a quarter of the way through, the plot seemed to swimming in circles--the same experience for different characters without moving the story forward. I grew impatient waiting for something to develop.

From the synopsis, I expected something with shades of Orwell's Animal Farm. It did in kind of a ying to Orwell's yang. With this in mind, I kept listening, looking for an allegory. I suppose the fantastic story can be used as an allegory for different things to different people. The one that jumped out to me was an allegory for the internet. Not sure if this was the author's intention. But if it wasn't, it was a bizarre idea that went nowhere. The idea of an allegory is what got me through it.

NARRATOR: The narrator was very good. She varied her cadence with the emotion and action as well as the pitch of her voice.

was excited for this to end. became bored an hour in and suffered through the rest. had some okay parts. would not recommend.

Is Mr. Mallerman a Vegan perchance?

Loved it! This story took me through a variety of emotions and at the end of it, I couldn't begin to tell you who the real villians are. Perhaps, that is the beauty of it.

Great Listen!!!

Loved it! Definitely a unique idea for a story, but turned out to be an awesome read/listen. Narrator was excellent. Would definitely recommend this book . 5 Stars
