Great story let down by a stiff performance.

Not sure if it was the director, or just fresh talent to audiobooks, but the performances lacked a bit of heart, and it seemed like they were very careful to enunciate every word veeeerrrryyyy clearly, which stifles the flow and feel of what is otherwise a fantastic book. Not enough to totally ruin it, but enough to irk. Great story, very stiff performance.
