Great


(5 stars)

Great quality audio, wonderful sound effects and voice acting. Depicts a family's emotional reaction to varying shades of acceptance and denial, the nature of reactions (or lack thereof) towards changes which occur slowly, incrementally, and without explanation. I Recommend, as we are all at risk of watching our friends and family be rationalized out of existence for many reasons. (Some much more indirect and cerebral, and others directly as if they were only a disgusting bug.)

I have never been so shocked in my life B4 maybe have but this is ... unexplainable and such an unpredictable plot twist I'm never recovering form this

Brilliant story


(5 stars)

I listened to the original story as read by Bob Nuefield first, absolutely loved the story. This was a very engaging, drama infused, and faster pace version of the story. There were some added elements, and some missing from the original story. But overall I feel like Alan Harris adaptation does a good job of expanding out the story with curious inquiry. Great listen!
