DNF-ed at 75%. I was looking forward to this after seeing it recommended on Biblioracle's "work" book list. The story starts out really well, but towards the 40% mark, it starts to show its flaws. It's too long—the audiobook is over 10 hours long—for characters that I cannot develop any feelings for, and the few characters that I could sympathize with have no authority. I wanted to keep going, hoping that William Dufris's wonderful dramatized narration would carry me through to the end, but, alas, it felt like watching a prolonged sketch comedy that relies on the same physical comedy for laughs.
