Eh. It was something to listen to while I crawl out of a reading slump. Mediocre characters made it hard to care about the plot, but it was just enough to keep me half-listening to the end. Lines like describing a "hacking cough that didn't sound healthy" had me scratching my head at times (when does a hacking cough sound healthy?). There were plenty of those gems scattered about, which really took me out of the story or had me rolling my eyes. Overall, not really impressed with my first Swanson, but I'm open to giving him one more chance with The Kind Worth Saving.
