Publishers need to realize the narrator is a huge part of the book. This is one of the fails when converting a series into audible content. Instead all the characters seem to be whining or complaining to each other. All sense of tension countered by comic relief is lost.
But instead the whole book is lost in an incorrect emotional interpretation.
I would have to listen to something multiple times to realize that was supposed to be a funny part or the characters picking on each other or some serious encounter. I was able to laugh in the right places, be shocked in other places and follow along with the story very easily. His voice, inflections, emphasis were all spot on. Parker nailed the first book with his outstanding performance. After listening to the first book in this series my impression was serious fictional science with fun banter, appropriate sarcasm, and witty conversation. Garcia reading the classics or maybe some genre I don't listen to such as childrens books. His voice has a pleading quality to it - sometimes a whining quality. Mr.Garcia speaks with a clear voice that might be a pleasure to listen to if given the right story. Casting picked the wrong narrator for this book.
