THE CHANGELING

by | Read by Victor Lavalle

Fiction • 14 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2017

This strange story of magic and the macabre set in New York City is one of those audiobooks that ought to have been read by a professional narrator. The author's narration of this sometimes exciting and mysterious fairy tale is mostly just that--a reading. He does inject some texture but not enough and not always appropriately. His pacing also falls short of optimal. In one memorable scene the protagonists are in the process of murdering a real villain with a mattock. At the same time, they're carrying on a conversation with the obviously severely injured villain in a thoroughly normal manner. Everyone sounds like they're sitting around the living room chatting rather than engaging in violence in the highly charged setting into which the author has cast them.
