The Deep

I had high hopes for this one, coming from a clipping song and read by Daveed himself! Unfortunately, and weirdly, he reads this like it's a children's book, which is a super disservice to the serious, tragic, and haunting tone of the material. This is a short novella, but I couldn't even make it through all 4 hours of the audiobook without speeding it up and even skipping some super cringey parts. It's incredibly repetitive and the middle parts drag on. Some action picks up at the end but I was so uninvested by then that I wasn't moved by it.
