Quick Take Review (TL;DR)
The Narrator is a quick and twisty popcorn thriller with an intriguing premise that falls short due to one-dimensional characters and a rushed, farfetched ending.  Although the story kept me engaged at times, the persistent "woe is me" attitude of the main character made it ultimately forgettable.

Full Review
This was a popcorn thriller at its finest—a mostly engaging, quick read with a basic plot line and a twisty ending.  The premise, especially appealing for an avid audiobook listener, showed promise; however, the characters often felt one-dimensional, and the protagonist's persistent "woe is me" attitude grew tiresome quickly.  While the twisty ending provided some excitement, it ultimately felt rushed and farfetched.  Overall, it wasn't a bad story, but it left me wishing for stronger character development and a more grounded conclusion to truly make a memorable impact.
