Wonderland

Story: 2.75 ... maybe 3 if I'm being generous.Audio: 1.00 but negative stars might not be off the mark

Reasons I ‘read' this:
a) It was in the Audible Romance Package i.e free
b) It's an hour and half (1.5), excellent for commute time
c) Trying out a new narrator

The third reason was my downfall.
The audio is by someone named Nathan Huddleston, who doesn't even appear on the GR author links, and it was pretty awful. His narration is a combination of sounding like he's drunk and trying to sound sober or reading very deliberately like someone who's learning to read or learning English. It seems like he's trying to dramatize or act out the MC's, emotions. He doesn't succeed. It's a pity because his voice has a nice timbre.

The story itself is in the vein of Love Story and a bit saccharine for my taste, mostly because I'm a terrible person, but also the events described seem more like a Hallmark sad story and wishful thinking. I would've probably connected more if I read it, though there's some bad poetry and a love for the band Korn, both of which gave me shivers. Not the good kind.
