About this listen

Chester Aldair is a gay teenager who dies by suicide, making him a severe criminal. In Galena, technology has advanced to the point where people no longer die from natural causes, and as a result, the government has instituted, "The Age of Volition," which is a law requiring that everyone lives until they're seventy-five years old. Once someone turns seventy-five, they can choose how much longer they live for.

Since Chester takes his life before the Age of Volition, he's considered a criminal and faces long-term incarceration. As times passes, however, Chester realizes he isn't the only one telling lies and hiding secrets. And his life is the only one he can really protect.

Couldn't gfet past the narration

Just such weird narration.
Gaps in the wrong places, No gaps where there shouldn't be. EmPHAsis on the some words for no reason: "he sat down on HIS seat, he put HIS belt on".
Really weird "voice" for Phadeus.
I had to give up - it was unlistenable. The story was not bad, as far as I went.

Thought I was listening to an AI book reader?
