I could not understand half of it with the horrible accents. As far as the book itself, I\'ll never know unless it comes out with a decent narrator.

Narrator sounds like he has a mouthful of marbles for half his accents. Made it just too hard to follow.

One of the best narrators in the business and an excellently thrilling book.

it's an Amazing series this along with his other stories! I would put the Revelation Space series in one of the best and highly overlooked! and a refreshing breath compared to the Starwars series they should be filming this instead!

the story not easy to follow with the heavy accents, if it were a TV show I would need subtitles. You follow a few character stories in this book, but unfortunately there is no pause or indication of when you switch characters. maybe this won't bother others, but I would probably have a much better time reading this book, rather than listening to it.

A solid kick off to a 3-4 part series. Tough to find very likable characters, and dialogue seems forced at times. The best character here is arguably the ship itself which is absolutely fascinating.The real draw here is the overarching storyline which is gripping, and Reynolds draws back the curtain on it at just the right pace leading into a pretty frenetic final set piece. If you've read Chasm City (standalone) beforehand, you'll have a nice primer to the world going in. Great sci fi read even if it's mostly for the fantastic plot and incredibly imaginative tech. As mentioned in other reviews, the narration can be hit or miss depending on your preferences.

Boring and lackluster

i could not seem to follow the story or relevance. Multiple start-overs didn't seem to help me.

Drab. Boring. Very slow. Hard to follow. Waste of money. Gave up early on. Asking for a refund.

brilliant scenarios with mind-bending consequences and amazing developments as one reads further. The narration is strong, I think that there should be a few seconds between one section and the next, especially when the narration is changing characters.
