She flies through the material. Much of it I had to listen to twice because she sounds like she's reading her college book report to a classroom. I just couldn't catch all of it the first time through. Really glad she wrote the book, but it would have benefited from a different reader.

The reader was constantly swallowing and audibly fidgeting. Was very hard to pay attention to the story.

I love Patrick Stewart but find it pretty reprehensible that such a short piece of work as this classic tale has been shortened for this presentation. I prefer the Jim Dale version.

What a journey.

This series has been a fun and entertaining jaunt for the past several years and my biggest complaint is that it's finally over! I'm grateful to have a proper conclusion, but in my opinion it's very anticlimactic that Michael cornered Hatch and killed him. Hatch has in many ways been as equally important a character as Michael throughout this story, and it seems somewhat as a betrayal that our hero is the one to do the deed. In my opinion the only person who could have killed Hatch was Hatch, via suicide, likely running from Michael. This villain deserved a better ending.
