Well, I think the story could be good, but I couldn't really tell because there were too many really bad readers. That does seem harsh, but for example, Jim Lock: he pauses in unaccountable places, has the weirdest cadence but no actual expression. His reading is so bizarre that sometimes I couldn't even tell what was going on in the story for the distraction it was. Such a shame.
