A fun way to listen to a classic novel.
I enjoyed listening to Geoff's performance. His voice is very soothing,
I like to listen to audiobooks in the car in short spurts.

Raises the audio experience to another level
The tone that's struck in the performance seems perfectly in tune with Condon's offhanded sort of off-center way with a story.
My favorite character was Cerruti. He's a slavish soldier type with a Peter Lorre kind of creepiness. I especially enjoyed his description of his filing system. I could hear a dash of Dr. Strangelove.
One of the reasons I like this audiobook is the parade of voices, which makes this production kind of unique, using a cast of actors rather than burdening the main narrator with having to perform each and every character. It adds some depth, and I think it's a good approach for a book with so many characters. I especially liked his touch as the narrator, executing the nuances that are so much a signature of the author.
This is a very entertaining production. The story, being a Condon treatment of a presidential assassination, is especially intriguing. I think the author's storytelling style is brought to life beautifully.
