Title: half baked
Product review: This review pertains to the unabridged audiobook version of Captain Alatriste.I was pretty disappointed with the book itself, and with the audio performance. The story has some exciting moments, but in the long run not that much happens, and what does happens is dragged out far too long. At the conclusion, I felt like someone who has just watched an episode of an hour long drama on television, one that was merely okay, and which I wouldn't be going out of my way to watch the next time it was broadcast.The audio presentation was very melodramatic, nearly to the point of self-parody. It lacked the proper rise and fall of tension and release. Instead, the narrator read nearly every scene, every paragraph, with an overblown sense of import. It was irritating and tiresome, but I did manage to endure it to the very end, so I guess that is worth two stars at least, reserving 1 star typically for something so bad it isn't worth finishing.
