Commentary/review
A relaxing book about loosing the meaning of life, the destruction of justice and the reign of a dystopian bureaucracy. It is beautifully written, it does not look down on the reader and is essentially optimistic. You cannot go wrong with a mix of features as ambitious as these, provided you can pull it off.
I absolutely loved the interpretation. It is not very common to have four narrators and keep everything together. I think that these voice artists had a great time. I believe this audiobook is a textbook example of an excellent audio production.
The cover is clearly a work of art, a poster I would not mind on my wall.
