I love the content, and I love Manning's voice in the audiobook, but the narration is so...staccato? They're short sentences with lots of pause in between each one, and I'm not sure if that's the product of an inexperienced narrator or the actual writing. It has me on 1.75x speed on this book just to keep it moving.

First chapter was a little rough and could have used an edit for clarity. Manning kept yo-yoing in the timeline between being at the Barnes & Noble uploading the classified documents, and then how she got there, and then how she was at B&N, and then how she got there, and then more context, then back at B&N. It could have been told more linear and had more impact.
