Chapters make navigation a breeze. I can easily pick up where I left off. An absolutely stellar production from start to finish! The narrator's command of pacing and tone was masterful, knowing exactly when to speed up for excitement or slow down for dramatic effect. The audio quality was pristine with no distracting mouth sounds or uneven volume. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
