I seriously gave it a try... Too much narration. I can see they tried and I can respect that but the narration just doesn't allow me to be engrossed into the story. I listen to some Halo audiobooks (Nerdy, I know and don't care) where its mostly Narration, so that's not the problem. The sub-bits of dialogue by different people just doesn't do it for me, granted I only listened to episode 1 but that's really all I could take. Maybe its his voice or his inflection but it totally ejected me from the story.

Maybe I'm being an elitist, so sue me, but it does tell me that once you've had the best, you just can't like the rest.
