The Reading Could Be Better
SQ
I liked the story, but I felt distanced from its finer points by the challenge of listening to the awkward intonation. If the phrasal dissection was meant to be a poetic feature, I agree that this is a viable approach; however, I just don't think it was well executed. Withal that, having this Librevox recording available is better than not.
