The narration was amazing. That is about all I enjoyed. I understand it can be difficult to translate a graphic novel into an audiobook, but i found the netflix show adaptation much more entertaining. Some of the subplots were very boring and there was a lot of abuse conveyed on women that I felt was over the top and added for no apparent reason.

This is so amazingly done. The sound design, the voice actors, the music, the narration – I’ve read all of the comics over and over and I cannot say enough good things about this adaptation.

Very strong trigger warning for

"Calliope" as the rape scene in it has sound affects. "24 hours" is also tough as the violence has sound effects too. I personally could handle that better.

in the 40% I read there was necrophilia, people fucking until they died and their bodies being explained like that. Someone talking about dreaming about raping their mother. Plenty of other grossness and violence. And finally the point at which I gave up: a woman "removing her maidenhead" by injuring her vagina with a rock
