All Systems Red

Just re-listened to All Systems Red, this time the Graphic Audio adaptation. I have previously listened to the unabridged production, twice, narrated by Kevin R. Free. Free's narration is top notch and I highly recommend that version to everyone, but I was surprised I enjoyed the Graphic Audio full-cast dramatization just as much. While this is technically an abridged version, the full-cast production brought new levels of characterization to the story and made for a throughly enjoyable listening experience. The sound effects were dynamic, rather than distracting, and though Fred's narration of Murderbot approaches perfection...so did David Cui Cui's. I would highly recommend this audiobook to readers and listeners who already love the series. Though I'd be hard pressed not to recommend the unabridged production to new readers, you will still be in for a treat if you start with this too.
