Can't handle Shatner, sorry. Its too much for pure audio.
Interesting story. The ending is very Asimov/Twilight Zone-esque. Thanks to the narrator for taking the time to read the story for us.
Haha awesome ending. The last minute of the story was the best. The reader also did a great job 👍
I couldn't listen for laughing, William shatner meets Stephen hawking. I was waiting for him to tell me to go to checkout number 9 please.
Such a melancholy ending... A wonderful story... Tear jerking ending... But funny...
I love that twist!
great story and excellent reading
Damn that was great. The non-descriptive writing throughout the entire story really kept up the feeling until the twist, very good.
thank you
Hell of a good story I love the ending
Wait, that is not a computer reading it?
Yeah, I'll have to buy and read this one myself.
Great ending
Whats with the reader? Is he hoping to get a job in the satnav industry ? DX
Slim and Red 😉
Terrific naration.

Sarcasm?
Nice, but saw the ending coming almost from the beginning. Obviously one of his earlier efforts.
@Shane Rudeen . Yes, I figured something like that was up with the hidden names.
Nope. NO NONO NO NO!!! THIS READER MAKES ME DOUBT MY SANITY!!! AND, he obviously reads like this on purpose. His inflections and sentence meter are just random. It’s like after his first go, someone said, “OK, but you’r voice has to go up and down in pitch, and you have to put slight pauses in for timing” and he’s followed their advice without attention to the text. AAaaaargh!!! He’s ruined my potential enjoyment of SO many audiobooks.
Alright, 11 minutes in, gonna call it now that the animals in the cage are people and the thunder sound was a landing rocket. Edit: Fuckn' spot on, I was.

I had no problem with the reader. Enjoyed the story. Nothing really interesting in the comments. Don't bother
This reader (Gregg Margarite, I think) is wonderful!!!

very good as usual...sad thing is they both (Asimov and Hawking) found out the truth too late...
...I think I'll read the book instead. Something's wrong with your mind.
its definitely a cadence that is Shatner like, or at an auto-read like pace. I'm glad he read it. but please try not to...read...like...Captain...Kirk...or ...i...will...order...food...like...this for you...but...that...food...will be poisoned.
It blows my mind when I see good reviews of this particular narrator. He really makes any story hard to listen too.
PREF-erably
Read by a robot
Weird reader
audio NG
This is the kind of narration that grates on my ears and nerves barely allowing a good story to be heard. Would've down thumbed it but for the words themselves. This narrator has read many books and I have them all grouped under FAILED!
What's with the appalling Capt kirk impersonation. Reader needn't emphasise every word, just the important ones nouns etc...

He always reads like that. He is great compared to some of the other readers doing it for free. It's not bad if the story is on the lighter, humorous side. Not so good for a serious, cliffhanging thriller.

It's terrible. You're just being nice.
I'll look for another reading. I guess he is doing his best 🤷
This reader has irritating. Mannerism
That awful voice!! Make it stop, please please, make it stop@&%$
narrator is unlistenable...
This guy is a really terrible reader.
I found the reader's style of speech unlistenable.
