Fascinating, and surprisingly honest. Clinical narration.

7/2/2026: Same feelings as above for the contents of the audiobook, but I would like to say that you can definitely tell that this was a passion project, in the most loving way. Also, I have to change my opinion about the narration. It is spirited at times, referential, sweet, and enthusiastic.
