This is great to listen to so far.

Pullman’s intro frames it well: the book gives you everything you need, but you must supply 100% of the performance. Garner’s distinct characterizations—Roger's bile, Gwyn's rebellion—are baked entirely into raw dialogue. When Gwyn's mother knocks him down, his words read as calm, but the reader must actively inject the tremble and the rage. It's talented sheet music, even if the reader has to play every instrument.
