I loved the text. Ellison's narration though... when he is doing the prose portions, he is spot on. Perfect. I got chills on the opening prose section. But when he does voices he goes off the deep-end. It isn't so much that he can't act. It's that he makes terrible choices for each voice. For example, one of the characters is introduced as having a *light* texas accent, but Harlan gives him a parody of a texas accent. And he makes the female astronauts sound like they are twelve-year olds dreaming of becoming ice princesses. But I have to say that I agree with the previous reviewer: yuo do get used to it. And the book is excellent. I just wish that someone had been directing Ellison.
