story was good. well written from a narration perspective. however if your from Montana/NW area the pronunciation of Spokane and Kalispell are going to drive you bonkers in the narrated option. especially the Kalispell pronunciation……..kalispar………so wrong. granted I was listening so who knows maybe it was written the way it was pronounced but considering all the other towns were properly pronounced and are real towns I highly doubt the author created a made up town. I purchased book two the same time as book one and I’m hesitant to start it just because I don’t know if I can listen to another 9+ hrs of Kalispell being pronounced wrong.
