![]() I know that sounds awful, it's just what her reading of them sounds like. It's like as soon as the characters start talking they develop mental handicaps. Then she started doing the same thing when reading Bob, just in a super low register. Then Hecht does Darcy's voice and it's super high pitched, slow, and over inflected. I know Darcy, the main character, is a rational intelligent woman because of the way she puts the puzzle pieces together and because of the way she expresses herself internally. She tends to make every female voice sound air headed and weak. It didn't bother me too much during Big Driver, but it started driving me crazy throughout A Good Marriage. My problem with the audio version of Full Dark, No Stars is the female narrator, Jessica Hecht. ![]() I've been listening to a lot of audio books lately. After all.an accident can be an unhappy woman's best friend. I thought Darcy's decision to end Bob herself was an elegant solution to an incomprehensibly difficult situation. And I thought he couldn't be more of a monster than he already was. The most interesting part of it was actually learning the limitless depths of Bob's depravity in what he did to that little boy. I guess the ending with Ramsey serves to release Darcy from her remaining feelings of guilt and responsibility, but I'm not sure it was necessary. That would have been a dark ending to the collection, hey? Then, I expected it to end at the funeral. I expected it to end after the conversation on the bed, with Darcy's trapped acceptance. ![]()
