A wonderfully woven tale
A friend offered me this audiobook to listen to. I was a bit skeptical at first that a story with this many characters over over this many different times and locations could become interesting. But everyday, as I walked to work listening to this tale, the weaving of many wonderful characters began it's work on me. In short, I started to care.
Then I got to the point, where I became a clock-watcher at work, trying to determine how long I had to wait before my walk home from work... and the next chapter!
Dave Gash has done a mighty fine job of stringing out his yarn all along slowly, carefully, weaving it together. Like a master storyteller, it is really only at the end that you are given the view of the beautiful whole. Now on my walks to work, I continue to run through The Eli Event in my head revisiting the careful set ups and payoffs.
Curtis R. Sisco's reading of The Eli Event is like the special effects in a good Hollywood movie--they quickly become invisible. I felt like I was there. There in the laboratory with EL1, there in closet with Robin... How he can pull off that many characters and not have me get lost or confused is the mark of a natural storyteller, reader & voice actor. Well done.

Not my favorite genre….
What did you love best about The Eli Event?
Fast paced & humorous at times
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Not so technical in computer systems.
What about Curtis R. Sisco’s performance did you like?
Clearly intelligible and not distracting. Would enjoy hearing him read again.
Any additional comments?
I am not a Sci-Fi fan, but wanted to try to something new. This book was adequate, but not ideally what I enjoy. Maybe I'm just not a SciFi fan, but I probably wouldn't buy another book.
