The story line is good. It starts fast and wraps up and ends fast once you get past the hours of monotonous meaningless nothingness in the middle. I almost quit listening a few times but it does intrigue you just enough that you want to wait for the ending.. then tortures you for hours before you finally get the ending you have waited so long for. . the whole story could be trimmed down into 4-5 hours max. It doesn’t help that the story starts with Noah in court so you spend the whole book anticipating a resolution or at least an explanation. Honestly I wish I had the time back that I spent listening to this book.
