About this listen

Adam Griffey is living two lives. By day, he teaches literature. At night, he steals it. Adam is a plagiarist, an expert reader with an eye for great works. He prowls simulated worlds perusing virtual texts, looking for the next big thing. And when he finds it, he memorizes it page by page, line by line, word for word. And then he brings it back to his world, the real world, and he sells it. But what happens when these virtual worlds begin to seem more real than his own? What happens when the people within them mean more to him than flesh and blood? What happens when a living thing falls in love with someone who does not actually exist?

The narrator had such a monotone dreary voice, I almost couldn’t finish it. Also a hiss in the background.
Story interesting though, enjoyed it. Didn’t realise the length before I bought it, probably wouldn’t have used a credit on it if I’d realised it was so short

Narration ruined it for me

I loved this, big fan of his other work. This has left me wanting more!

Just wish it was longer!
