I've never read the original book so obviously my opinion may not be super helpful but with that being said I really enjoyed this dramatized adaptation. It was very cinematic, to the point where I had to really be careful listening in the car driving to/from work because I was getting too invested in the story 😂 The voice actors did great, and the sound effects and music were amazing, added a ton of atmosphere to the story. It also makes me want to read/listen to the unabridged book, because now I've got some background and may actually be able to get through it all lol. My only criticism is more for the story itself not the performance - and it's more just how different political parties are portrayed I don't really agree with but I'll leave it at that. But if you've ever wanted to read/reread the book I think this is a fun listen.
