The Man Made of Smoke by Alex North
2.0
mysterious slow-paced

I started this in print and it wasn't grabbing my attention so I switched to audio about 75 pages in. This book was painfully slow for me. I could not tell whose POV I was listening to on the audio. 

Alex North did a great job creating a dark tone with mystery of what happened to Dan's dad as well as John's POV. When there's a lot of internal dialogue, it losses my interest. 

Shane Zaza did a good job with narration but I think if we had 2 distinct narrators would have made this a better listening experience. 

Thank you @celdaonbooks @macmillian.audio for a copy of this.
