I am deeply saddened to have wasted hours of my life and pieces of my sanity to this truly dreadful listening experience. For me, what finally tipped this book from terrible to insufferable was when the main characters managed to find each other in this prison - the prison that is described as never ending, with oceans and forests of metal trees - in a matter of 10 minutes. The characters were vapid, self-absorbed, idiots with the emotional ranges of a rutabaga. I listened to the entirety of this book and I have no idea why these people were locked into the giant yet unbelievably tiny prison. Listening to this audiobook is what I imagine it would be like to consume high levels of methamphetamines. Listening to this book made me want to die. If you like Elantris then you will like Incarceron and vise versa. Incarceron is a lot like Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. I look forward to the second book: Sapphique, which should be released in Dec 2010. The world, people, creatures and concept of Incareceron is creative, interesting and entertaining. This is a great book and I would and have recommended it to others. Both are trying to escape their own prisons, Finn who is literally trapped in Incarceron and Claudia whose life is like a prison. The book focuses on the parallel lives of the two main characters: Fin and Claudia. One chapter is about Incarceron, the next is about the "real world" and so on.
The chapters in the book flip focus back and forth between Incarceron and the "real world". I found the portions about Incarceron to be more interesting, probably because it is a new and foreign world. The book is interesting for the first 30 minutes and then drags for an hour or so but once your're into it 2 hours it is great This book takes place in two worlds/dimensions, the "real world" and Incarceron. I enjoyed this book and thought that the narration was good.
